My job as a leader today is to… provide a vision and help those around me use their gifts and talents to their fullest in order to reach our shared vision/goal.
Oooh provide vision! I like that!
…make sure that my team has everything they need to succeed.
That would be a people’s leader choice.
My job as a leader today is to show patience and understanding as one of my stores goes through inventory – something they only do once a year.
If its the store near me Chris, and they come up short, it wasn’t me, I promise!! 😉 have a great day buddy!
HA! Not, I’m in Idaho today. Hope you have a great day, as well!
Enjoy the break.
…leave as much of myself behind as possible so there’s room for my team to bring as much of themselves as they can.
LEAD!!
Love the brevity! Great reminder!
My job as a leader is to help others reach their full potential.
My job as a leader is to help others succeed.
I agree with you 🙂
My job as a leader today is to inspire through serving.
Reminded of the words of Jesus “I came to serve; not to be served”.
My job as a leader is to teach for today and prepare for the future.
1. Get others to do great work.
2. Act like I want others to act. A good leader sets the standard.
3. Write a newsletter. Sometimes I have to do things I don’t enjoy. This is one of them.
Leave it to you to go above and beyond and list 3 things 😉
Indeed.
Awesomesauce.
It’s either that difficulty following instructions
“Destructions”, as they’re referred to at my house.
My job as a leader today is to remember to lead the way Christ did, by serving His followers.
He who is last will be first. And the first will be last.
…not think less of myself, but think of myself less. (I stole that one, but I love it).
Well stated, even if you stole it 😉
I think some C.S. Lewis guy said it first.
Yeah! Who is that guy anyway!! Haha
I like it whether you said it or not!
I’ll do the same thing
Think of myself less? I appreciate that… ;0)
3rd time I’ve heard that in 48 hours…makes me think Someone is trying to get a message across to me.
Hey Matt! Think of yourself less…
Ha!
The other people I heard it from were Rick Warren and Joel Manby…good company.
Yep. I think I read it on Joel’s book too.
and… I will help the blog owner out because he didn’t have a “real” post for today ;0)
is to stop! Listen and let my team know they are important to me!
My job as a leader today is to help others realize their full potential.
Sounds like something Chris would say Alicia 🙂
…and to help them reach it
That’a noble cause.
My job as a leader today is to listen.
My job as a leader today is to show gratitude to those around me.
Thanks, Mark!
is to inspire my team, show them the vision of the business and help my clients win!
Good way to finish the sentence.
…empty myself into others. “It’s not my job to fill your cup, but to empty mine into yours.” (I think I heard this from Dave, but I can’t remember for sure!)
is to show my people that I value them more than projects.
People always matter more. That’s why I love Dave’s hiring mantra of “look for passion over talent.”
Great point – easy to get caught up in completing the project and not focus enough on your team. Good reminder.
Admit my mistakes and show the team how to learn from them.
That’s specific for today because that’s the reality of this morning for me and our team. For a broader answer, my job is to adjust to what’s going on right now, be available, and lead accordingly. Loving all the other comments here as well. 🙂
Go Do It Luke!
That’s humility! Like that Luke
Inspire and equip the people around me
Awesome! Inspiration. I love to breathe it.
. . . to get off the internet and out into the studio so I can finish that commission and make that phone call to see it a muralist has been chosen for that job and if it is me. (Oh how I wish I had people for this).
Leader? No, just getting my work done.
Praying for it. I hope you get it!!!
That’s authentic.
to listen, to appreciate, to teach.
Listening. A rare commodity today.
My job as a leader today is to lead. To back away from the grind, and look out at the big picture.
My job today as a leader is to also make sure I am delegating effectively.
Delegating is what I struggle with. Great thought.
Ditto here.
“My job as a leader today is to lead.” ~ This is similar to the phrases in definitions of various statutes in India.
show others by example of striving to reach their full potential.
Leading by example. That’s what exactly Jesus did.
encourage others and let them know they are appreciated.
Reminded of carrots and sticks
My job as a leader is to build up other leaders
That’s mentoring
lead by example, being positive and excited toward accomplishing our vision.
Being positive in a negative world. Much needed trait today
Live in such a way as to invite and inspire followers.
This is called creation of legacy.
Stop. Collaborate. And listen?
…Ice is back with a new rendition…
collaborate- I believe this would be the way forward for 21st century.
Every Friday is praise reports (for the highs of the week) and prayer reports (for the lows of the week). So I go around to me team a collect these so we can praise or pray!
Ricardo Equips
I love this. I’ve been doing the weekly reports with the highs and lows, but I like calling it praise and prayer reports instead. Great insight.
Listen hard and talk straight…(so true, but I didn’t say it, thanks Lolly Daskal @lollydaskal)
Talk straight – I yearn for this in this phony world.
My job as a leader today…is to go the distance.
Keep going Jon! Ensure that you enjoy the journey and not only the destination.
Good thought, Uma. I think I’m enjoying both (most of the time).
My job as a leader today is to… continue creating differences in the lives of people (be it my stakeholders or team members). {believe in creating legacy rather short term quick fixes}
