Leadership Can Be Challenging
Leadership can be challenging to say the least. As good leaders, we work on developing our emotional intelligence, leadership maturity, and skills daily. Despite this constant journey of growth and maturing, it can be perplexing in the midst of leadership challenges to discern what is “me” and what is others. In the crosshairs of conflict, is that “my” issue or theirs? As great leaders, we are taught to own our 1%, 10%, 25%, 50% …. Or whatever percent of the issue might be ours. Often it is additionally challenging as “followers” might not have the same development and skills and take potshots, spread rumors, lies, immature perspectives and are unable to see a two-way street. They rather stand convicted in their “victim-ness” as a result of your poor leadership. This is a challenging place from which to lead.
