    How are You Showing Up as a Leader?

    Let me ask you as question...do you swoop and poop?   Join me as I answer what that means and take you through five evaluations areas to help you reflect on how are you showing up as a leader: How do you work with teams? Are you a swoop in pooper, or an aligner and calibrator. What's your typical energy as a leader? Are you a bring- it-downer, or a lift-it-upper How do you communicate with teams? Are you talking at your people or are you actively listening and having conversations with them? How do you operate as a leader? Are you a complain, blame and ignore, or are you coming with constructive honesty and solutions? What results are you generating with teams? Are you a waster, or a creator?  Contact Darn Good Leadership: Email contact@darngoodleadership.com
