The best leaders I know are With-It kind of people. And not only in the usual sense that they’re up to speed and paying attention.
With-It leaders understand that important work is never done alone. Thus, they continually express an inclusive message of team effort, collaborative endeavor, collective action………..WITH-IT-ness.
Some important messages those With-It leaders send:
- “We” are always smarter than “I”
- Team effort is a force multiplier
- Each of us has a gift/talent to contribute, and is expected to do so
- All voices should be heard
- There are no bench-sitters, everyone is in the game
- Information is shared freely (there are no secrets)
- Connecting, collaborating, communicating WITH each other is a requirement
Winning is the result of WITH-IT kinds of teams. And leaders.
