Leadership From Behind
At this moment, I was the guy in the back and the guy in the back has the opportunity to see what all the guys in the front were doing.
And one of the things they pointed out, a weakness in me as a leader was I wasn't giving clear guidance to the guys in front of me.
I could see what was going on where they couldn't.
I mean, I literally could see in the back everything going on and I just wasn't telling people what to do with very specific orders.
And one of the things they asked me was, where else is this showing up in your life?
And I was like, wow, me as a leader in different areas of my life, this is definitely showing up.
I can see what's going on, but I'm not clearly taking the time to articulate what I'm seeing to other people and opening my mouth and calling people, working through all the issues and working through all the problems and literally connecting the dots.
This behavior occurring right here connects over here in this other area of my life.
How I show up in my life sometimes with that log is how I’ll show up in my relationships, in my body, in my spirituality.
What pattern is showing up in one area of your life you would like to change?
And how is that same pattern showing up in other areas of your life as well?
