Deciding How You Turn Up

I dive into the concept of intentionality and the various ways you can choose to show up in professional settings, whether it’s a board meeting, a team catch-up, or a town hall.

I discuss the power of choice in leadership roles and the misconception that leaders need to maintain a consistent approach in all interactions.

I introduce the psychological theory of internal family systems, adapted for business, which I liken to having an internal board of directors. This framework allows leaders to engage differently based on the needs of the situation—whether being directive, inquisitive, or supportive. This flexibility can enhance team dynamics and overall business success.

I share practical examples of how varying your leadership style can positively impact your team’s performance and the organization’s direction. By understanding and utilizing your “internal board of directors,” you can choose the most effective persona for each scenario, leading to more strategic and thoughtful leadership.

I encourage leaders to explore and embrace their full range of capabilities to optimize their interactions and leadership effectiveness. If you’re curious about discovering your internal board of directors and how this concept can change the way you lead, join me in this conversation to learn more.
