be a better leader
I'm in my first leadership position 2 years ago

I’ve never done anything remotely like this before, so it’s been a huge leap for me. Sometimes I think I can’t take it, but I’m getting better. Anyways, since it’s my first, I haven’t been doing a great job at leading other people. I’ve been focusing so much on my own self-improvement that I’ve neglected to focus on the people I’m leading. I went to a leadership conference, and they said that leadership is not about being a good leader, it’s about bringing out the leadership in the people you’re leading.

Leadership

Leading is to bring someone to another level of thinking. When you lead, you yourself learn. The more you learn, the better you get.

misslead is 30!!!!

I totally agree!

I’m in my first leadership position as well, and I feel the exact same way you do! Sometimes the stress of my job makes me wonder if this is really the path I want to take. Those few and far between comments from your peers that let you know you are indispensable can make all the difference in the world! : )
