Leadership is…

I’ve been navigating my own personal thoughts and ideas around leadership. I value leadership. I value healthy leaders in my life. I value the ability I have to lead others. However when asked how to define leadership, there are a myriad of perspectives and avenues people go down. Often I find accuracy and healthy in majority of the perspectives shared and have benefitted from many of those explanations in my own development and learning as a leader.

I have been thinking about this working definition and discuss it a little bit more on the podcast, episodes 1 & 2.

Leadership is

• Engaging the present situation

• Encouraging others to see a preferred future

• Embracing the unknown challenges

• Equipping others to replace you
