Leadership is not the person it is the practice of mindsets and behaviours that helps people work together to accomplish a goal.
Effective leadership has profound benefits for performance (efforts + outcomes + experiences).
It requires a range of skills including
self awareness (Me)
social awareness (We)
situational awareness (Between)
a sense of possibility (Beyond)
Good leaders understand this, while great leaders harness this with a willingness to learn and adapt with their team.
