It has been an inspiring and energising conversation this morning with IOC EMEA Community members. Thank you for leading from the back Rolf Pfeiffer (he/him) Ramon Estrada and bringing this fascinating topic Christian Greiser "Mastering the Art of Letting Go" to the community. Their insightful perspectives of the group left me pondering a powerful quote by Robert Hogan: "leadership involves persuading other people to set aside for a period of time their individual concerns and to pursue a common goal that is important for the responsibilities and welfare of a group". Reflecting on this, I'm reminded of stories of leaders who faced the challenging tasks of uniting a diverse group of individuals and becoming a collaborative team towards a common goal. With the strength of self-management, we executive coaches and leadership consultants have to pursue a journey where we fiercely hold our clients' space for the sake of something bigger than us emerging and letting go of our ego instantly to lead by example around us. It's a challenging task. It's a permanent choice for all of us, even the experts—to BE perseverant, consistent, centred, present and doing our best. And each day might/is different, doing our best. Today, I delve into the notion of being a compassionate mess, understanding that it's the best I can offer for today. The idea of self-care as community care becomes clearer, highlighting the interconnectedness of our well-being.
How do you balance the responsibility of leading a diverse group towards a common goal while also taking care of your own well-being as a leader?
So great sharing this mornings learning space with you.
Thank you so much for sharing your reflections!
Truly inspiring reflections on leadership and self-care.
