Why You Do It –
Very few people in the world are doing something no one else has ever done before. For you as a leader, the likelihood that your what and how are unique is slim. However, you have a special story that has led you to the point in your journey when you are finally called to lead.
It is often an accumulation of deeply personal experiences and other circumstances. Environmental factors also play a major role in the “why”, such as the socio-economic, cultural, familial or even political dynamics that birthed and shaped you.
All of these things culminate in the material that builds a narrative which can be bought into.
A leader does not have to be in a traditional position of authority. Anyone walking in their purpose or seeking it, is a leader. To be an effective one, however, you need to have clarity on the motivations for your journey.
