Shape

#Beingaleader means you shape the direction of your team. Shape the emotion around your team. And shape the team’s impact.

Shaping the direction of the team is critical to its success. You often impact how it starts, how it moves along and where it ends up. You cannot underestimate the impact you have on shaping the destiny of your team. They look to you. Get their direction from you. Make sure you are pushing the team in the right direction.

You also help shape the emotion of the team. The mood of the team is greatly impacted by the mood and emotion of the leader. Your steady hand will bring calm. Your fear will paralyze the team. Your thoughtfulness will set an example to others while your thoughtlessness will do the same.

#Beingaleader means you are shaping the team’s overall impact. Impact on the team itself and also on those you serve in the community. The team’s effectiveness is greatly impacted by the leader. If you are a positive impact on your team, they will have a positive impact on others. If however, you are negative, it can affect those on the team and those they are supposed to serve. Sometimes a struggling team is just a successful team looking for a change in leadership.

#Beingaleader means you shape the direction, emotion and impact of your team. Be aware of your impact.
