LEADERSHIP isn’t just reserved for people with fancy titles, or in hierarchical positions of power.
No matter your role or experience… if you can influence and impact others, then you are in a position of leadership.
So in the spirit of encouraging all of us to evolve as leaders…
Below are what I call the four V’s of powerful leadership:
- You must be VISIBLE. This simply means that you have to be intentional on how you “show up” and be “present” when necessary. If you’re not available, then you can’t lead.
- You must be VOCAL. It’s critical as leaders to communicate your thoughts, ideas, and messages of influence in various forms. Your unique voice is powerful. Don’t underestimate it.
- You must be VISIONARY. Powerful leaders are purpose-driven and focused on taking people from here…to THERE. They look beyond the present, inspiring others to dream big and pursue greatness.
- You must be VALUABLE. This is the “most important” element of powerful leadership. It’s all about having a diligent commitment to helping others within your network.
So I truly hope this helps you on your journey to powerful leadership the rest of this year and beyond.
