For your organization to soar and accomplish its goals, you need your team to be highly productive and driven to honor the mission of your company.
As a mission-driven leader, there’s no doubt that you’re pulled in many directions and coordinating many projects. As you’re going about your day and executing the tasks that are next on your agenda and trying to create plans for the future, it can be easy to forget this simple truth:
What feeds you, feeds your team.
Your team looks to you for vision and guidance. You project to those around you, whether you realize it or not, the ideas, feelings, emotions of what fuels you. It’s important to allow time for yourself to refill your cup so that you may share it with your team. If you’re not mindful of what your fuel sources are, you may inadvertently feed your team with things you didn’t intend.
Your team will feed off fear, anxiety, struggles that may be weighing heavy on your shoulders. Or they can feed off past successes, accomplishments, and vision for what’s next.
Giving yourself the right fuel not only motivates and inspires you, but it also fuels your team to see beyond their day-to-day tasks and share in accomplishing your mission.
