Want to be a better leader?

5 questions to better leadership  

If you’re reading this, you’re already a good leader. You wouldn’t have clicked if you didn’t care and didn’t want to do better for others.  

So I’m celebrating you for that!  

Now, I’m a coach, not a guru, so there’s no 10-step process to get to MY idea of a good leader.  Though you will find plenty of leadership tips at the blog 

Instead here’s 5 questions to find YOUR better leadership: 

Q1. What (and/or who) are you leading? 

Let’s get out of the theoretical and into the practical - for you - are you leading a business, a team, a product, and/or yourself?  

Q2. What is good leadership to you?  

Let’s start with the end in mind. The word “Good” is very woolly - think of leaders you’ve admired, times you’ve been proud of yourself, or perhaps the leader you know you could be if only you’d get out of your own way.  

What qualities come to mind?  

Q3. How does that good leadership manifest?  

Let’s get specific so you have a clearer idea of when you are, and aren’t, modelling good leadership in your eyes. 

Think about behaviours, actions, and communication. Tailor them to your working life and leadership. What would good actually look, feel and sound like in your shoes? 

Q4. What’s getting in the way?  

What’s getting between you and the role model leader you described above?  

Which thoughts, if dropped, would enable you to behave, act and communicate in a way you’d be proud of? 

Q5. What will be the positive impact? 

So what? 

How will your work life be more easeful, enjoyable, and successful leading in this way?

Where will the performance gains be? 

How will those around you benefit, be it your team, boss, peers or clients?  

How will you know? What will be happening?  

Bonus question: What’s the first, teeny tiny action you will take, to improve your leadership tomorrow?  

Take it, and report back with the results, or book in a call to discuss here.
