Tuesday Leadership Lesson
Last week for our final Mastermind Retreat of 2024, Barrett asked me to present on the deficiencies in my leadership and the action I take to improve.
Being I’ve known him for 39 years, he knows all the good, the bad, and the ugly.
As I put together my talk, I was reminded of a dichotomy of leadership.
Leadership requires both confidence and humility.
It requires confidence to charge forward in the face of resistance.
And yes, you will face lots of resistance.
Why?
Human nature resists change and leadership requires directing change.
There’s conflict in the infrastructure of the role.
Specific to the dichotomy and the other side of the coin.
Leadership requires humility.
Humility is the quality that shows you that there’s plenty of opportunity to improve.
So one 1 hand.
You must know you are awesome (confidence).
On the other hand.
You must know you are not that awesome yet (humility).
This is a dichotomy of leadership and why it’s so hard, yet valuable.
