The Vulnerable Leader

Are You the Roadblock?

Ever felt like you're preaching to the choir, only to watch your team stumble? It might not be them. It might be you.

Self-awareness isn’t just a buzzword; it's the secret sauce to unlocking your team's full potential. It's about recognizing the elephant in the room - your blind spots, biases, and outdated leadership styles.

Ready to level up your leadership game? Here are a few tips:

* Embrace the Mirror: Seek honest feedback, even if it stings. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

* Meditate on Your Moves: Reflect on your decisions. What led you there? Could you have done it differently?

* Feel the Feels: Emotional intelligence isn't just about understanding others; it's about knowing yourself.

* Flex Your Leadership Style: One size doesn't fit all. Adapt your approach to the situation, not just your ego.

* Learn, Unlearn, Relearn: A growth mindset is the ultimate leadership superpower.

From the bustling halls of the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago to the serene stages of the Aspen Music Festival & School, I've seen firsthand how self-aware leaders can transform organizations.
