Doctor E offers leadership guidance on building an authentic style by recalling mentors, keeping personal values rather than mimicking others, and continually developing and adapting one's approach.
It's about upper seventies, a little heavy breeze, but a lot better than the snow. Otherwise that you enjoy doing that you'll be able to get into this spring season and summer.
Don't fundamentally change who you are in adopting who they are when it comes to making your own leadership style. What makes you you is also important. Final piece that I told the group was develop, develop, development. Continue to adapt.
Hello, Doctor E here. Happy Wednesday. Hope a lovely day in the Twin Cities. It's about upper seventies, a little heavy breeze, but a lot better than the snow and a lot better than the rain and the dreariness this summer. Otherwise that you enjoy doing that you'll be able to get into this spring season and summer. So, gonna chat briefly today. I had a really interesting question that earlier in the week and the question was what's the most important quality or characteristic or what's the best advice that I could give to Lee?
And I want and recall some of us, or most of us have bad experiences and we don't want to mimic that. We've had other folks. And so continue to recall all of those moments when you weren't a boss, when you weren't a CEO, when you weren't a faculty member, when you weren't director and what did you need in those seats and employee as an aspiring leader, as a person who was looking for development and growth opportunities and pull all of that forward into your style and into your leadership. Now that's the first thing that I said of was recall some of the good leaders that you have and all of the mentors that you've had.
And yes, it might philosophies, approaches and perspectives, but don't fundamentally change who you are in adopting who they are when it comes to making your own leadership style. Yes, there are other great team members, there are other things, but what makes you you, what makes you fundamentally who you are is also important. Touch with that, because that integrated and infused with what you have seen and what you have learned from other great leaders can create a new leadership style, a new leadership approach, a new leadership perspective that can help a number of folks.
So don't lose who you are. Final piece that I told the group was develop, develop, develop. Continue to adapt. Continue to do all of those things that make not a leader and what was important to you and what you may have needed and what you were looking for and all of those kinds of things, who you are. But infuse what you may see in them or from them and then grow, grow, grow, evolve, evolve, evolve, develop. Those are my three tips. I will.
