The Three Myths about Leadership

Have all the answers
Are always available to support their team
Never get stressed
HERE’S THE TRUTH:
Leaders don’t have more information than you. They know how to make decisions with whatever information they have at any given moment. They are willing to take a little risk because they trust themselves.
Leaders aren’t always available. They make themselves available for the things that will make the most impact towards their goals. This often pisses their own teams right off. At the same time, if a leader is always involved, their teams will never learn how to develop autonomy.
Leaders definitely experience the onslaught of stress. Instead of letting the stress define how they react to their teams and circumstances, leaders always remember that stress only erodes their progress and never advances it.
