Today I started a year long leadership development course. I am so excited for this opportunity to grow and develop myself as a person and a leader, and I’m thankful that @UABPulmonary recognizes the importance of professional development and invests in us!
Principle 1: We are all just humans at work, and humans at their best make better leaders, leaders at their best make better organizations which in turn make a better world.
In order to become a better person and leader we need to become the author of our own life.
Principle 2: Who we are is how we lead.
We have to know who we are and work to be the best version of ourselves before we can truly lead others.
Principle 3: Good leadership is intentional.
Leadership involves working with others for a common collaborative mission rather than “bossing others” to reach the mission without personally doing the work, too.
The skill set and behaviors necessary to achieve your current role are not the same as what will be needed to achieve your next position.
As you move into more of a leadership role your allocation of time to activities will change.
Your skills and the ways you use your time are different when you’re leading yourself vs leading others.
There are also changes in your work values as your leadership position changes.
There can often be leadership transition issues and it’s important to be aware of the warning signs to help work through these issues.
Good leadership takes TIME. Time for planning and thinking and leading. And if you don’t take the time up front you end up doing more last minute and not planning enough to delegate, and things end up taking MORE time in the long run.
We’ll finish up this session with this quote on becoming your best you.
