Ahhh the recipe for ideal leadership… here’s one proposed breakdown, do you agree? Would you add or change anything? No question integrity and empathy are at LEAST 50%, never more evident than during this pandemic and economic crisis. How we treat others and staying true to integrity in difficult decision making will mark our personal and organizational brands for years to come.
I’d increase self awareness and add a spot for innovation/risk taking. Leaders are able to activate incredible innovation when they’re supported by trusted teams and boards. It also requires confidence or self esteem, embracing the reality of some duds along the way. There’s no place for ego in the leadership dial and the antidote is self esteem.
Ironically I’d reduce “praise team” or replace it with “show love.” Praise assumes my love is received best with praise. In reality it’s the leader’s job to understand the emotional needs of their teams, their “love languages” and words of affirmation are only one possibility!
