It’s not my fault.” But today we don’t use that phrase to assign blame. Responsibility and accountability aren’t about finger-pointing, but rather The post Personal Responsibility & Accountability In Leadership appeared first on GROW GREAT.

2022/07/08

A lack of trust is very evident. Nothing serves as a more solid footing for effective leadership. What does it mean to trust? In a word, “confidence.” It’s an assurance we feel about somebody’s character, integrity, competence (ability), and honesty (truth). Why don’t we trust? Because people, including us, sometimes prove we’re not what The post #2212 Trust: The Foundation of Your Leadership Effectiveness appeared first on GROW GREAT.

2022/06/22

A lack of understanding is never an advantage. Now armed with facts, figures, and other forms of knowledge, leaders need to use that knowledge in making wise decisions.

Humility is the first and most essential leadership ingredient. Without it, everything else fails. Bosses and leaders may be one and the same, but they may not be.
