A Small Step Forward for Growth on My Leadership Journey ๐ช
A few weeks ago, I decided to do something for myself for the sake of growth without grades or challenges, other than being curious. I signed up for an online course (there is nothing techy about this), "Leadership Fundamentals."
To my surprise, at first I thought of leadership as solely guiding others; and then I learned that the first step of leadership is to lead yourself, lead oneself by being consistent, emotional, and empathetic in your conversations. ๐ฌ
The most memorable sticking point of the course was the statement:
"Leadership isn't about power, it is about influence and purpose."
What I find extremely effective and enlightening, was to understand how much emotional intelligence, working with other people, and decision making ability play a huge role for leaders to first, have their impact on human beings. ๐
Overall, I learned that growth happens in tension, uncomfortable tension, but curiosity followed by a consistent practice is where positive growth begins; it feels great to be inspired to learn and grow every single day! ๐ช
