What makes a good leader?
This bloganuary prompt (what makes a good leader?) made me chip in mid week and roll over to Sunday. We are seeing more reports on successful leaders being able to follow a variety of elements within the organisation. Some of the elements include what their followers say is of concern. Leaders today also must follow guidance and advice from a range of stakeholders. Later you will read how important it is that leaders get the very soft and aesthetic elements right too.
Following rules for shelf styling. Clumping elements in threes, fives or sevens, Maximising the layers, using lighting, botanicals, colour and painting tactically to get an inspired feminine industrious vibe.
Zone into wellbeing elements like designer iconic candles and image on a brochure i liked.
This week I’ve been working with leaders that work in strategic relationships with organisations. And the key theme about creating engaging online meetings came up again in discussions. I was able to assist with advice on some of the deep soft skill and aesthetic elements around this reminding from my personal perspective. It is agreed that because we are working within a small screen we can pull on the artistry of those talents used in the big screen engagement (whether Hollywood, Bollywood or Nollywoord) and make them work for our online meetings. My head hunter acquaintances tell me that they are increasingly coaching senior organisation leaders around being more animated, smiling, eye gestures and having an engaging background.
Above you can see, I’ve inserted some images of snippets of my background that I have been working on using shelf styling rules and advice. I’m getting more a more energised as I got another compliment about my background from a senior leader in my organisation. And yes that’s another thing that makes a great leader. Indeed good leadership notices when employees go the extra mile and shows recognition of their efforts even if its an “I like what you’ve done there”.
