We have a problem with leadership. The problem is, is that the only thing we know about leadership is what we DON'T want.
Today, I'm going to revisit an episode that I did a while back about five key leadership principles for amazing results.
So if your only leadership examples are:
:::micromanaging
:::lack of guidance
:::narcissism
:::bullying
hang in there.
In this episode, I talk about:::
00:00 - The Problem with Leadership
02:54 - Five Key Leadership Principles for Amazing Results

These five principles -- competence, communication, character, clarity, and care -- can elevate your leadership, guide your supervisors and managers, or evaluate the leadership that you're under. You don't have to stay stuck, my friends.

Planning ahead involves having your resume ready and tracking your accomplishments. Being curious means paying attention to your interests and leveraging your strengths. Being selfish means prioritizing yourself and looking for signs of what you want in your career. By following these tips, you can gain more control and confidence in your career.

I love Brené Brown's teaching on being courageous through vulnerability. By her definition, being vulnerable is having the courage to lean in when things get tough -- to not quit when you're facing uncertainty or feeling exposed.
Being courageous in the sense of being vulnerable is so important.
Why? Because creativity, innovation, taking action is reliant on vulnerability -- on leaning in when it's uncomfortable.
So, how do you do it?
We do it with the three things I'm going to outline for you here. I believe they are key components of having a courageous career:::
03:04 - Facing Reality
07:42 - Listening to Emotions
11:00 - Unconditional Intention
Go out there and be courageous, my friends.
