#Beingaleader does not mean you are in control. Control is an illusion. If you think otherwise, you are probably delusional. And you probably have less control than you think. You can’t control your team, your project’s outcome or how people react to you.
#Beingaleader does not mean you can control your team. You can do everything right. Train them. Provide protocols. Show them. But in the end they still have to do it. You provide opportunity but you cannot control how they react or work with that opportunity. You can cajole. You can inspire. But it is still them that has to make it happen.
#Beingaleader does not mean you can control your project’s outcome. You can do everything right and it still fail. There are too many things that are outside of your control. For example, you follow every protocol but then life intervenes and now instead of working closely in teams you are remote and need to redo everything you’ve ever created. Or perhaps a pandemic sweeps through and leaves the results you were expecting in shambles.
#Beingaleader does not mean you can control how people react to you. Again, you can do everything right. Treat people right and fair. And still they attack. Still they don’t understand. Still they fail to work together. Are you okay with that?
#Beingaleader does not mean you are in control. The question is are you okay knowing that and still becoming an effective leader?
