Can I be kind and direct at the same time? Can I be very frustrated but not lose faith in my people and truly still believe in them to step up?
In the midst of times of fire, how we show up is particularly important. Can we stay present and grounded with access to our intuition and best decision making?
The intense fires of the entrepreneurial path can be transformative, forging us into a better version of ourselves. But, we need to be intentional.
Open hearted leadership is a radically different approach than leading through fear, holding back validation, being vocally or even silently critical, or showing aggravation at underperformance.
Now, one month into the year, we have re-entered those same intense environments that got us off center to begin with – the doing mode, the hustle, the competitiveness, the goal orientation.
Especially when you are in the thick of change, lead from compassion rather than criticism, despite reasons to do the opposite. Keep an open, courageous heart.
