Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes… the ones who see things differently — they’re not fond of rules… You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things… they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.

#DenChat:  Leadership Topic of the Month!  ”Accepting the Leader In You!” 

Lead With Confidence!!

A senior manager once said to me “you make me feel like I can’t do my job!”

I immediately responded “I’m sorry” and began to internalize what I could have possibly done wrong to make her feel that way.  As I continued to go throughout my day, I realized that the issue was not about me but about the lack of confidence that she had in doing her job. In that one statement, she released the “power” that she held as a leader.

It’s a common feeling for emerging leaders to doubt their ability to get the job done.  Sometimes you can feel like the small kitten with a pack of dogs on your heels.  But your self doubt should not be voiced to your staff.   Even in these moments , remember your staff is there to help you get the job done.  They look to you for honesty, integrity, confidence and a will to get things done even in the darkest moments.    

So instead of saying “you make me feel like I can’t do my job” ask your staff “what do you need from me to do your job better.” And then if within reason, get it done!

“Put one foot in front of the other and soon you’ll be walking across the floor…You will never get where you’re going if you never get up on your feet.”  

Do you remember these lyrics from the popular Christmas animated show?  It’s such a simple song that we believed in as children but as we get older this simple act sometimes seems insurmountable.  

So many of us are given the opportunity to lead and we don’t believe we are ready.  I guess we’re waiting for the “magic” date on the calendar that says “Leadership Day.”   Unfortunately, that magical day never comes when you continue to look for the magic instead of following your passion.  

The call to leadership is often presented when others begin to notice your skills, talents and abilities.  But it is also presented when people recognize your passion.  

Leadership does not have to be a daunting endeavor.  Once you get started, your skills will begin to develop over time.  All you need to do is take the first step and accept your call to leadership!
