5 Hard to Swallow Leadership Pills That Will Make You a Better Boss

<blockquote> <p>&ldquo;The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off.&rdquo; &mdash; Gloria Steinem</p> </blockquote> <p>How much have you spent on your education?</p> <p>I&rsquo;m going to guess it&rsquo;s more than $0.</p> <p>But what if I told you that you can learn as much as you want, every single day, without having to spend a single penny?</p> <p>All you have to do is be willing to be honest with yourself about where you&rsquo;re going wrong. Then humble enough to seek answers from others.</p> <p>I&rsquo;ve been coaching leaders for over a decade, and I see this problem amplified in leadership positions.</p> <p>Due to status, a fear of inadequacy, imposter syndrome, ego, or a fear of failure, leaders often fail to realise their potential because they can&rsquo;t get past acknowledging where they need to grow.</p> <p>If you want to be a better leader, you need to make peace with these things.</p> <h2><strong>#1. Everything&nbsp;<em>is</em>&nbsp;your fault</strong></h2> <p>It sucks and it&rsquo;s not fair, but it&rsquo;s the truest thing about leadership.</p> <p>Try to deny this and you&rsquo;ll erode any respect or trust you may have with internal and external stakeholders.</p> <p>But this isn&rsquo;t a negative.

You set the tone for how people respond to failure.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@TobiasCharles/5-hard-to-swallow-leadership-pills-that-will-make-you-a-better-boss-8615f0bba1db"><strong>Read More</strong></a></p>
