You've Got This

“This is your Monday morning reminder that you can handle whatever this week throws at you.” ~ Unknown

You are a better leader when you are self-confident. Make sure you get what you need to feel that way.

For some people, it’s a gut-check thing. “No matter what happens, I can handle it.” But they are a small percentage of the full population.

For others, it might be arming yourself with facts and data. Read the manual, or run the analysis, or fill in that spreadsheet. If that’s what you need to feel confident in your decisions, do it.

For many people, confidence comes from the reactions of other people. Do you have team consensus with the plan of action? Or perhaps you need to know that other people have your back. Again, figure out what you need to feel confident, and get that.

Since we also want our team members to step up, consider what THEY might need to build their confidence, as well, and help them get that. It often surprises people that others don’t need the same things we do.
