Dignified

#Beingaleader means you need to be dignified. Not crass. Not vulgar. Not boorish. Not overbearing. Dignified. Calm, impressive and deserving of respect.

So how do you react to stress, bad things happening or difficult people? Are you calm, impressive and deserving of respect? Or do people cower and resent your involvement?

Too many people equate being a bully with leadership and decision making. In actuality, you are not a leader if you are a bully. You’re just a bully. Certainly not respected.

To be dignified means you take things in stride. Not ignoring the pain or difficulty, but handling it. Dealing with it appropriately. In a dignified manner. Not lashing out with words and actions your mama would disapprove of.

#Beingaleader means you need to be dignified. Act like it.
