'We' place a burden on leaders to be the best at all times, to have all the answers & to be everything to everyone (they aren't and shouldn't have to be of course).

This morning I've been discussing what it means to be a good team member & what rocking up as a good team...

1/6
...member looks, sounds and feels like.

I've loads of experience in this area but thought I'd do a quick google to see what came up. I love the simplicity of the 1st post I came across from @TalentbridgeUK

Which I visually represented in the attached image...

... which they blogged about here: talentbridge.com/blog/7-qualiti…

Now it's wonderfully imperfect and provides enough of an insight to us to ask ourselves and our team members how good a team member they are - because, in my experience, a good team member is someone who steps...

...leads by example and steps in to apply their skills, expertise and commitment to the cause to create a climate in which a group can achieve a collectively desired outcome.

When a team encourages this, fosters it and thrives off this - then you don't...

4/6
...have one 'leader' you have several; who each take their turn to lead when the cause and stage of work or nature of it benefits from it.

Would love to hear your thoughts

Stefan

Ps - I believe there are 5 states of leadership - more to follow

Leadership involves tough decisions; balancing ‘the many’ and ‘the few’.

No matter how difficult & uncomfortable those decisions are to make it’s not the ability to make a ‘tough’ decision which shows whether you are a...
leader. No. Leadership lies in the communication and application of the decisions you make.

Anyone can flip a coin; heads you win tails you lose.

But when you look into the eyes of the people and explain what you’re doing and why; they know whether that decision was made...
for, with or in lieu of the people.

It’s true that many will ‘buy’ the rhetoric. But put simply they’re the ones who aren’t ready to admit the truth. It will have to grab them with both hands first.
