Hi! And welcome to my corner of LinkedIn!If you want to become a better leader, you're in the right place.Let me start with my core philosophy: The selfish should not pursue a leadership role.Leadership is about so much more than just managing tasks and results. It’s about creating a culture and environment where your people feel valued and trusted. They enjoy what they do and see meaning in it. They are able to succeed, personally and professionally.And if you aren't willing or capable of lifting others up, you won't be able to build high-performing and happy teams.I'm here to guide your journey. You shouldn't feel stressed, overwhelmed, or frustrated that you can't quite achieve the high-performing team you envision.Here are the keys of best leaders:✅ Engage✅ Educate✅ EmpowerThese have served as my north stars for 20+ years with a variety of teams. Whether it's been leading Customer Success, Curriculum Design, Sales, or other teams, every action taken has fallen into these categories.1️⃣ North Star: EngageA happy team is an engaged team. A positive, inclusive environment allows each person to feel connected, motivated, and valued.• How do I motivate my team?• Does my team feel comfortable with risk?• Are people excited about the work they do?2️⃣ North Star: EducateThere must exist a culture of continuous learning. New skills and knowledge prepare the team to meet both current and future, unforeseen challenges.• How do I create a learning culture?• Are goals aligned with long-term growth?• Am I focused on today's needs or tomorrows?3️⃣ North Star: EmpowerIndividuals should have the autonomy and trust to solve hard problems. Provide the right knowledge, tools, and support for them to own outcomes.• What's the right mix of delegation and support?• Am I setting clear expectations with the team?• How do I give constructive feedback and feedforward?When you facilitate all three, you win together.If these ideas resonate, let's explore how you can lead your team to success!Here's to your success and your team's!
