“Leadership is not about being in charge. It is about taking care of those in your charge.” — Simon Sinek
“Leadership is not about being in charge. It is about taking care of those in your charge.” Simon Sinek’s words remind us that leadership is a dynamic relationship, not just a role. If you’re feeling disconnected from your team or notice that your usual approaches aren’t working as well as they used to, it might be time to bring some new energy to your leadership.
Signs It’s Time for a Reset
- Meetings feel more transactional than inspiring
- You’re running on autopilot rather than feeling engaged
- Your team’s enthusiasm seems to be dipping
- You’re relying on “we’ve always done it this way” thinking
The Power of Generative Conversations
One of the most effective ways to refresh your leadership is through meaningful dialogue that creates new possibilities. Instead of just status updates, try conversations that spark creativity and collaboration. Ask questions like:
- “What’s one thing we could do differently to improve how we work together?”
- “What opportunities do you see that we might be missing?”
Practical Ways to Refresh Your Approach
- Listen with Purpose: Make time for real one-on-ones where you focus on understanding your team’s ideas and concerns.
- Experiment Thoughtfully: Try new approaches to meetings, projects, or team communication. Small changes can lead to big improvements.
- Keep Learning: Stay curious through workshops, reading, or conversations with other leaders.
- Celebrate Progress: Take time to recognize both major achievements and small wins. It helps everyone see their impact.
