TRIPLE III TIME: The Absence of LEADERSHIP

May 23

Posted by

One topic area we have not ever addressed in our special blog format, is finding progress during The Absence of LEADERSHIP.

Think real hard about what is being stated in the TRIPLE III TIME opening sentence… The Absence of LEADERSHIP.

I am NOT referring to times when certain people are on vacation…dealing with an extended illness or having to address a special personal issue that requires a longer time away from work than planned.  No…I am thinking about the fact that we are all leaders in some way-shape-or form in our workplaces (no matter the position we hold)…and how do WE respond to The Absence of LEADERSHIP situations.

And just for the record-books…I will admit that I have had my own The Absence of LEADERSHIP moments.  Are they frustrating…kind of numbing…and sometimes even anger-generating when you are unsure of who to look to for guidance. However regardless of the feelings…finding the best way forward is totally on YOU!  But in case you need a little help…consider and appreciate these unique TOP 10 factors:

  1. Admitting you need LEADERSHIP help is progress.
  2. Realizing even the greatest leaders you admire have needed LEADERSHIP help on occasion.
  3. Appreciating that people in your circle really do rely on you for LEADERSHIP growth.
  4. Understanding extended LEADERSHIP stagnation can become a bad habit quickly.
  5. Trying even baby LEADERSHIP steps…is better than zero steps.
  6. Reaching back into your network for reliable LEADERSHIP help is always a good strategy.
  7. Not ignoring that you are often someone’s special LEADERSHIP example-setter.
  8. Prolonging LEADERSHIP absence results in unrecoverable development-time shrinkage.
  9. Delegating to a colleague for inspiration is an acceptable LEADERSHIP absence recovery option.
  10. Accepting new LEADERSHIP priorities is a critical part of your professional responsibility.

I hope this TOP 10 helps reverse The Absence of LEADERSHIP for you.
