Three Leadership Myths


Myth – Leaders must have followers.

If you are a leader, expecting people to follow (instead of collaborating with you) may have stopped you from tapping their true potential. We need more of the leading and collaborating model instead of leading and following one.
:
Myth – A team is a group of people with a shared goal.

A shared goal does not turn a group into a team. A team is people who together adapt, grow, and change to reach common goals and a shared success. Without stating what you expect of a team you will experience the same old struggles in teamwork.

Myth – Morale just happens. You can’t lead it.

Bad morale happens when you don’t lead morale. If you’re not leading morale, you’re not leading anyone. Leading morale is all about dignity.
