After many years of leading corporations and running my own business, I've come to realize that there are leaders that don't share their own stories and that don't embrace the stories of others. When you're leading people, supporting people, and guiding people, whether that be in your own business, or an organization, part of your ability to connect with them, build trust with them, and support them in what they need, is being able to tell some of your stories and encourage them to be able to tell part of theirs. Leaders must realize that sharing their stories does not make them weak, it makes them relatable, and it can help provide inspiration to people to push them forward. Leaders must also understand that other people have stories as well and their stories did not begin when they started at your company, and it doesn't end when they leave. We must acknowledge that understanding people's stories and allowing them to show up as their best & true selves will boost their innovation, productivity, and efficiency. 𝑇𝑎𝑘𝑒𝑎𝑤𝑎𝑦𝑠 📝 🔑 Leadership is about behavior and not position. 🔑 We are getting things done with, though, and by other people, and to do that effectively it's important to understand what they're bringing to the table.  🔑 People have a life beyond the 8 to 10 to 12 hours that they spend a day with you. ℍ𝕠𝕞𝕖𝕨𝕠𝕣𝕜 📚 Sit with this: How are you using your story to push things forward? How do use your story to get someone else into their genius? How are you making your story about them? How are you using that power that sits in you and using it to make a difference? 𝓯𝓾𝓵𝓵 🎧 𝓪𝓷𝓭 📹 𝓪𝓽 🔗 𝓲𝓷 𝓫𝓲𝓸  Be sure to tune in each week for new episodes!
