The wisest leaders I know are masters at empowering those on their team. They provide Impetus to the team by engaging in the following “juicers”…
- Vision — They work with us to craft a very clear vision of the better future we can make together.
- Comms — They provide a relentless drumbeat of communication, internal and external, around that Vision.
- Relate — They choose to know us well and engage with us authentically.
- Study — They are driven to learn more and understand deeply, and pull us right along with them in that learning.
- Service — They model exemplary Servant Leadership, and expect the same from each of us.
And then…….there’s the other type of leader. They “get in the way,” quite a lot. They’re the ones who Impede Us rather than provide the Impetus we need to make that better future we envision.
