#Beingaleader means you have to deal with contradictory information. Should you make decisions quickly (https://beingaleader.blog/2022/05/10/quick/)? Or slowly (https://beingaleader.blog/2022/05/17/slow/)? Well, it depends. If it was only one answer than leadership wouldn’t be hard. But leadership is hard. And it means you have to deal with these contradictions.
You are constantly being pulled in different directions. The way you successfully did it before might not guarantee a success this time. The facts might have remained the same but you get a different result. How nimble are you to change your ways of deciding to allow for the new situation?
So how do you handle contradictory information or make decisions which might work one time but not the next? Well, you have to be a risk taker. Someone who is willing to make mistakes in order to move the ball forward. To take chances. To do new things. Or new ways of doing things. Are you able to handle making mistakes? They are bound to happen. And you need to be fine with that. Learn from them and move forward. #Beingaleader and standing still are incompatible.
#Beingaleader means you have to deal with contradictory information. Make the decision anyway. Move forward in confidence.
