What is leadership?

Just a small question. With a million right answers. 

Here’s a start.

Understanding what’s going on.

Figuring out what needs to happen.

Working with people to make it happen.

You need all of those parts. Understanding the context you’re working in. Charting your course. Working with your team to steer the ship to get there.

Lot’s of “how to do leadership” content focuses on the last bit. Working with people to get stuff done.

Don’t forget the first two.
