Two Questions

How do leaders make a lasting impact?

Great leaders make a difference. Sure, things like organizational strategies, well-defined goals, and strategic planning have their place, but none of these items are as important as the relationships that top-notch leaders foster within their teams and organizations.

The leaders who are consistently successful are the ones who understand the true importance of relationship building.

They know that the heartbeat of any organization, school, or team is the people. Make an intentional effort each day to invest in the success of others.

Pushed beyond your “limits”?

Fear is a powerful motivator and is at the heart of most conflicts. Everyone, at some point, is pushed beyond their limits, often resulting in explosive behaviors. If you find yourself on the receiving end of such behavior, it's crucial for leaders to listen, provide space, and not take the outburst personally. When was the last time you felt pushed "beyond your limits"? Did you say or do something you later regretted? The same emotions that drive us to success can lead us to these regrettable moments.

So, what's the leadership lesson here? Everyone is human, and effective leaders learn to support everyone on their team during both good and bad times. Remember to listen before speaking and don't let fear and uncertainty fuel extreme behaviors.
