How To Take Action
I would suggest implementing a habit of reading books that inspire and offer different perspectives, like "The Motive." Start by setting aside a little time each day, maybe 10 minutes, to focus on how these stories can improve your storytelling and leadership.
A good way of improving your leadership style is to evaluate how you currently lead. Do you focus more on fear and results, or are you prioritizing people? Make a quick list of things you do daily and see where they fall. This exercise will help you understand if you need to shift more towards focusing on people.
For personal growth, a simple yet powerful action is introspection. Spend a few moments each week thinking about your strengths and weaknesses. Write them down and see which areas you can improve or delegate to someone better suited. This practice will help you become more effective in your role and improve teamwork.
Another suggestion is to communicate openly with your team or family about your leadership style and see what they think. This will help you get clearer feedback and ideas on how you can be more effective in your role.
Lastly, always be open to change. Sometimes, small changes in how you approach tasks or people can lead to big improvements in your work and personal life. Keep experimenting with new strategies, and don't shy away from adjusting your approach when needed.
