Leadership is a Journey

In this weeks Vlog post I explore how becoming a leader is really a journey and one that can differenciate a manager from a leader. It is that moment when a manager recognizes their own gaps in knowledge or ability, and while working on improving their own competencies, finds members of their team who can fill them. Not only has that individual shown leadership by being transparent about their own capabilities, but they have solicited the help of the team to complete them and have demonstrated that learning is a continuing process — that by demonstrating their own process of continuous learning, they become an example for the others to follow.
