Intentional leaders know who they are. They don’t pretend to be who they are not. They know that they are not perfect. And they are not afraid to admit their mistakes.
According to Jane A. G. Kise, ‘Intentional leaders have deep self-knowledge, and recognize that their strengths come with blind spots.’
‘Intentional leaders go beyond identifying their values; they ponder how they will put them into action.’
‘Intentional leaders explore how their areas of responsibility benefit from each side of the clarity/ambiguity lens.’
‘Intentional leaders keep trust in mind from the start of every new relationship, knowing it is easier to build trust than to rebuild it once mistrust permeates the workplace.’
‘Leaders need to empower those they are leading, not make them overdependent.’
‘People like to be recognized in different ways.’
‘Leaders who emphasize breath may assume that everyone thrives on every changing activities.’
‘Leadership requires looking outward.’
‘Humility allows us to not adjust acknowledge weaknesses but to manage them, which is key to developing leadership expertise.’
