Energise Productively
Lead as in a leader leads.
Or…
Lead as in a lead weight holding you back.
Or perhaps a power lead connected to a lead battery, transforming a static weight into a source of dynamic energy.
As I recently shared with Management magazine, teams are weary from recent events and wary of changes ahead – so inspiring in ways that generate renewed energy and outcomes is essential for productively leading in the year ahead.
In other words, as a leader… lead.
In all its forms.
I’ve learned that even the most resistant people can become a dynamic source of energy. The key is to convert their force of negativity into forward momentum – by discovering a positive point of connection to draw energy from.
Try this shift:
“Great point. How might we overcome that?”
Which is what leadership is all about.
Discovering new ways forward.
Energetically.
