Without one of these, the cycle can fall apart Justin Wright. 8 is the end goal... all of these leadership pillars are crucial.
Leadership really is all in the doing, isn't it? I've always believed that the best leaders aren't waiting around for a fancy title to start leading. They're the ones rolling up their sleeves and diving in headfirst - whether it's lending an ear or making those tough calls.
I would also say - be daring, no one has won prizes for boring things. If you believe in something, stand your ground and do what's right.
Love this breakdown, Justin! 👏 Especially that bit about respect being key. It got me thinking - humor is also a secret weapon in leadership. It breaks down barriers and makes you more approachable, fostering a positive team environment. Ever noticed how teams with a good sense of humor tend to be more resilient? Would love to see 'sense of humor' make it to future lists!
The centre has the most important factor.
Thanks for this reminder! 👍 Justin Wright I want to share my 5 keys to success: ✅ Leading by example ✅ Continuous learning ✅ Resilience in failures ✅ Openness to feedback ✅ Prioritizing the team's well-being Focus on these skills, and you'll find it challenging to fail in leadership.
Love that actions is number 1. You can talk about your values all you want, but it’s your actions that really communicate them.
You need to going the term "permissionless leadership" Run a course Program. Get it certified.
Justin Wright striking visual and more valuable reminders. I noticed the # order and think it's spot on. Respect and Trust are the key!
