Moreover, what areas should you focus on to increase your effectiveness that will have the biggest impact? A great example to use in this case is a football or basketball coach. If they are not effective at producing wins the end result is usually them being fired. They are perceived by many to be an ineffective coach.

What Is Your Leadership Journey?
Establishing Your Leadership Journey Will Only Help You Become A Stronger Leader
If there is one thing that I know to be true when it comes to leading, it is that leadership in all essence of the word is a journey. Your leadership journey starts at the point in time you begin to lead, no matter if it is simply leading yourself to greater accomplishments, or leading many. Your leadership journey is just that, a journey in which it will take you to high points, low points, and every point in between. Leadership should always be considered a verb, not just a motionless adjective that entitles a person. So what is your leadership journey currently? I have been refining mine over the past several weeks and have boiled it down into three buckets to help me stay focused. Keep on reading to see what my leadership journey is and how it stacks up against your leadership journey.
