Take a look at her 5 “C’s” as you reflect on YOUR leadership style….
· Competency. Stand out from the pack and be a lifelong learner. Remain ahead and abreast in your field.
· Courage and Confidence. Speak out. Establish your knowledge base and be confident in it as a leader.
· Communication. Over-invest in written and oral communication. Leaders constantly have to motivate the troops.
· Consistency. Remaining steady, reliable, and determined allows for credibility and a baseline to measure your successes and failures.
· Compass. Integrity is critical in this job.
Remember…leadership is a skill which we must constantly and consistently, refine while we purposefully reflect on our own leadership style.
Be good to yourself…
