What does leadership look like?

Colleagues,

​The following thoughts are for those of you who are either new to a leadership position or are working with people who are new to leadership.
 
What does it mean to lead?
 
If you are a regular reader, you might suggest that leading is:

• Influence
• Aligning an organization
• Growing others

 
All of those things are components of leadership, but what does leadership actually look like in action?
 
What does it look like to…
 
…influence? 
…align?
…grow?
 
If you can describe concrete behaviors, then you can help someone learn to lead. 
 
Do good and be well,
 
Frederick
