Lead… authentically

Standard

In your personal life, authenticity is about being yourself regardless of social context. In business, it’s about walking the talk, being true to ethical principles and maintaining your personality and essence consistently. Traits of a true leader.

Trascend via leadership

Standard

This holds true for any position of leadership, both in professional and personal settings. 

Leaders look to be challenged

Standard

If you surround yourself with “yes-men”, you will never attain the unimaginable and you will never find out what you’re really made of.

A visionary leader looks to be challenged. “My way or the highway” is fine for emergency situations where decisions need to be implemented quickly but in the day to day operations and long-term vision, you’re missing out if you’re so insecure about your own standing that you won’t allow for (or promote) healthy debate. Valued professionals don’t want to follow… they want to co-create and co-achieve. Invite them to.
