Does your leadership have a season?
A nature-inspired leadership lounge - preparing for what's coming, noticing what is going on and creating more time in your day.
As with nature, we all have seasons of energy. We can’t be in full summer mode all year long. Noticing the value in the different seasons, we look at the ebb and flow of energy and how this matches with being a leader and leading others.
Spring is in the air and I got to wondering if leadership has seasons. And of course, we have seasons as leaders, time for high energy full on summer and times of more reflective and considerate winter. What does this mean for you, your team and the organisation you’re in? What season are you in right now?
I get into the gardening theme and think about how we create the environment for growth and nurture those developing their skills in their first leadership role.
We take that into the practical day-to-day setting and the natural flow of energy through the day means you are more suited to certain types of work at certain times of day. The leadership lounge challenge is to notice those different moments and make the most of them.
