Leadership is not about being perfect. It is about being okay with your imperfections.
It is about making peace with yourself. It is about showing up for yourself. It is about building a community. It is about nurturing your people.
It is about beating your own path. According to Jo Owen, ‘If you follow the herd, you will never get ahead of the herd.’
‘It takes great self-confidence, self-awareness and humility to admit to not being good at things.’
‘It is greenest where it rains the most.’
‘Your career is a marathon, not a sprint.’
‘Boxes are for the dead, not the living.’
‘Th best way to communicate is to shut up.’
‘You can drive performance better by focusing on development.’
‘Fighting emotions with reason is like fighting fire with petrol.’
‘No leader gets ticks in all boxes.’
‘Honesty is not just about morals and ethics. It’s about survival.’
