Let's Talk About Your Leadership

Leadership Actions

Here are some key actions that we all need to practice as leaders. For more information on these actions, including some fun poetry to help remember them, check out my book Let’s talk about your leadership: learning through the art of storytelling. You can order a signed copy here.

Be Yourself

Genuinely be yourself, people see through an act and they want to be around authentic people

Be Consistent

It is a waste of energy and time if your team need to keep trying to predict your mood.

Seek Out Information

As a leader you will not have all the answers, so don’t pretend to, learn from others.

Set Direction

You cannot take people on a journey if you don’t know where you are going.

Speak Up

Speaking the truth can be hard and lonely, but a leader must always speak up.

Reflect

Think about what you did – what worked and what can be improved – reflect on your performance.

Look After People

Put people first in your decision making, look after their best interests.

Have Fun

They say laughter is the best medicine – so have some fun and a good laugh. It relieves tension and stress.
