From Practice to Mastery: Transforming Leadership in a Changing World
|
Reader, In my reading and watching leaders I follow this week, I have heard the following articulated in various ways: "Practice makes the master." It is a very simple concept that many people tend to skip over. And many leaders tend to forget about it after they have practiced their craft to rise to some level of mastery. Practice not only makes the master, but in our fast-paced and ever-changing world, the practice of competent, professional, conscious, and ethical leadership is necessary. It matters to the people around us. Can you think of unethical leaders who have harmed people? Bernie Madoff is at the top of my list. His scam impacted people across the globe and destroyed fortunes overnight. That story and many personal encounters with unethical leaders keep me focused on why it matters for ME to step forward to lead. You see, I am not that person who dreamed of "being in charge." Not that there is anything wrong with that. My goal was always to make a positive impact. This is why the exercises at the beginning of my workbook ask you to think deeply about the kind of leader you want to become. It matters. I talked about it in this LinkedIn post that I wrote years ago. How to Grow Your Potential as a Leader If you haven't joined me yet on this journey, I encourage you to download a copy of my workbook and get started. Someone out there is waiting for you to become the leader you want to be. Rebecca P.S. If you haven't had a chance to download my ebook, get a copy by clicking the button below.

Reader, I know it feels like I ghosted you or just dropped off the edge of the earth. Well, I am back. "Rebecca, where the heck have you been?" I underestimated how committed - or I should say OVERcommitted - I was for the month of May. It started near the end of April as Hubby and I celebrated the years we have spent together. We love spending time in semi-remote places, so we found a cabin in Highland, NC, to crash for the weekend of our wedding anniversary. Let's just say that the drive to...
Reader, Who are you, really? It's a question that cuts through the noise of titles and roles, demanding an authentic answer. In our last conversation, we delved into the essence of identity and direction, challenging the notion of being defined solely by our job titles. As the concept of "Imposter Syndrome" continues to pervade discussions, it's a reminder of the importance of carving out our own genuine identity amidst the chaos. Remember those three questions I posed? Who am I? Where am I...
