"Great leaders don't have a single leadership style. They have a Swiss Army knife of styles, that are based on the individual, the team, and the intent."

Having a single style, demonstrates rigidity. And to be impactful, we have to know and want to adapt.

How confident do you feel as a leader?

Not a bad question. Many leaders get little training or direction. Even “fake it till we make it” feels like imposter syndrome.

"Leadership without a vision forces our teams to fumble in the dark."

It's essential that we understand where we are and where we want to end up. That vision of the future that all the work and decisions are working towards.

If we don't, our teams will feel disconnected to the value of the work.

Home now.
Crazy jet lag but working through it. Excited to dig into Year 50.
Thank you to all those who were following our Thailand adventures and who reached out.
Community will be a big focus for the year ahead and I’m grateful for the reminder of the connections I already have.
Thank YOU.

Four of my favourite shots from Railey Beach, Thailand.
Hard to believe this was already 2 weeks ago. Still not a shabby place to start my 50th year.
