I am in complete alignment with the behaviors you've outlined in terms of what makes the best leader and that is true no matter the function they are in. I also like your call out that these behaviors are controllable/developable for the individual. I would be curious to know from your perspective how much the environment of the organization plays a role in a leader demonstrating those behaviors or, maybe more importantly, helping leaders (especially new/emerging leaders) develop them?
As always thank you for taking the time to share your insight and experiences!
The environment of the organization plays a huge part in how a leader demonstrates those behaviours, like role modelling behaviours that exemplify what is celebrated at a company versus what is tolerated. I'm still a firm believer that the culture of any organization is shaped by the worst behaviour the leader is willing to tolerate. If your company or team tolerates mediocrity, bad attitudes and in-fighting, that is what your culture becomes.
Thanks for the additional commentary! I fully agree and as often coach my leaders your team (and how they show up) is a reflection of who you are as leader.
Another great chapter!
