What are we reading? Begin With WE: 10 Principles for Building and Sustaining a Culture of Excellence.
- by Kyle McDowell
In this book, author Kyle McDowell emphasizes his ten principles for leadership. He begins by posing two crucial reflective questions that all leaders should routinely consider. What is your true passion, and does your current environment enable you to pursue it?
These questions are vital in the leadership journey. Everyone has a true passion, but over time, have you had to relinquish this passion for your job? It's essential to have a job that provides financial security for you and your family. However, if you're not fulfilling your true calling, it could lead to burnout and unhappiness. If you find yourself in this situation, start by considering what changes you can make to your daily responsibilities to better align with your true passion.
Action Step
Being an authentic leader involves leading with passion. Dedicate ten minutes of your weekly routine to reflect on your work and understand your "why." Clarity is indeed powerful!
