Leadership Lesson: Leaders Reflect
When driving your car, most of the time you need to be looking at what’s ahead.
This is important to ensure you arrive at the desired destination.
However, at times, you need to use your rearview mirror.
It’s there for a reason.
This provides a moment of reflection to check blind spots as you navigate forward.
This is the same with leadership.
Most times you need to look at what’s in front of you.
In fact, this is where the majority of your leadership time should be spent.
However, there are times when it’s needed to step back, reflect, and assess your blind spots.
We all have them.
By doing both, it will increase the probability you arrive at your destination safely and effectively.
So my leadership message today as 2024 winds down is to look ahead to 2025.
Create your plan and cast your vision.
However, don’t forget to take some time this week to reflect on the good, the bad, and the ugly of 2024.
This will give you a better perspective & vision to navigate the new year safely and effectively.
After all, leaders reflect.
