As a leader, you may believe that those who follow you expect you to perfect and exactly right all the time.
Leadership, at its core, is built on relationships. The core of a relationship is trust. Trust is built between people not by being perfect and right all the time but instead by being real and genuine.
Your team, whether consciously or subconsciously, seeks from you as a leader the answer to these two basic questions.
-
Do you actually care about me?
-
Can you help me?
More than perfection, your team seeks your help and appreciation. Give yourself grace in feeling like you must have all the right answers and demonstrate what you can do to serve your team and how you can help guide them.
