Great leaders navigate a unique role, and inner-security is essential.
I reckon everybody has a desire to be part of a pack of some kind.
The more secure you are in yourself, the more your choice of pack becomes a conscious choice to maximise your impact, so that you enhance your life, the lives of your team, and the lives of the people your business serves.
Leadership is not trying to belong to a pack to fulfil an insecure ‘need to belong’.
This solid self-security, or inner-belonging, seems crucial when it comes to leadership.
Why?
Because as a leader you’re meant to be different. You’re meant to stand out. Stand up. Show people the different future you can create together.
AND
At the same time, you need to switch into being exactly where everyone else is right now. You need to see, understand and recognise the current reality, exactly as it is. You need to show you get it. You need to listen to the concerns, and resistances, to the change.
You are a human bridge from where we are, to where we could be.
You are the epitome of holding both: the future AND the understanding of now.
You are different.
There’s no two ways about it.
You are different. And you’re meant to be.
To be different, you need the inner strength and stability to stand up and stand alone.
If you want to be a great leader, it requires inner self-security.
For the vast majority of people that takes work.
The work we do together removes the internal interference causing you to default to a pack to try and stay safe.
The result is your inner-security is restored.
So that your pack choices become conscious.
When you feel secure in yourself, you create the bridge to a better future.
This is the role of a great leader.
