I had a lovely conversation this past weekend with a young teenager.
He was chatting to me about highschool and his aspirations of what he thinks he may do when he graduates.
We got into a great conversation, then he asked me “why does leadership matter?”
Talk about a mic drop moment for opportunity.
I smiled and let him know that question is simply the best!
Here are the highlights of a great conversation with a young and upcoming leader!
Leadership matters because:
🕹 It has a significant impact on the success and effectiveness of individuals, teams, and organizations.
🕹A strong leader can inspire and motivate their team to achieve common goals, create a positive work environment, and foster innovation and creativity.
🕹Effective leadership is also crucial for decision-making, problem-solving, and managing conflicts.
🕹A good leader can make difficult decisions, communicate them effectively, and guide their team through any challenges or obstacles that arise.
🕹A good leader can also identify and address issues that may be hindering productivity and provide solutions to improve performance.
🕹A good leader sets the tone and culture of an organization. They establish values, expectations, and goals, which influence the behavior and attitudes of their team.
