Leadership and management behaviors are both part of a leader’s role… with the people focus being more important. For many #leaders, though, managing things brings less uncertainty than leading people, as processes usually stay more or less the same. But people’s preferences, feelings and moods can change regilarly, which brings in the uncertainty many leaders feel uncomfortable with. It seems easier to just “manage” through to deliver results. But effective leaders show and play along a behavioral portfolio that covers both distinctive areas - #leadership and #management. They are able to show the people focused behaviors when needed, and can then easily shift to management behaviors and back again in the same situation. #adaptiveleadership #growthmindset Graphic: Tom Geraghty

Great leaders know that the soul of their business is their team, and they must allow and trust their team to produce their very best work; that's why you recruited them in the first place. That's the essence of leadership; helping your people reach their full potential, helping your team maximize their gifts, and helping people to become the best version of themselves. Leadership is an awesome responsibility and a privilege because you can influence the trajectory of someone's personal and professional life positively or negatively. If you want to be a leader, give your team the space to work, create an environment free from the impediments of toxicity and witness significant growth in your company but, more importantly, in your team.

Great leaders aren't know-it-alls who constantly try to outshine everyone. Instead, they admit when they're wrong and genuinely want to learn from others. At the end of the day, it's not about being the smartest person in the room. It's about building a team with the smartest people you can find.  Check out more here: https://lnkd.in/ewvwKhu #leadershipfirstquotes #entrepeneurship #leadershipdevelopment #executivesandmanagement #management #leadershipfirst #giffordthomas #leadership #inspiration #motivation
