What would your leadership report card look like today?
“What would your leadership report card look like today? A’s across the board?” asks Antonio Garrido, CEO of My Daily Leadership and author of the book My Daily Leadership – a powerful roadmap for leadership success. We discuss the surprising power of journalling for success for leaders.
Journalling for Success
“If you aspire to leadership start journalling” he advises. “You’ll stumble at first trying to understand what you want to write, how much time to invest in your journal. You’ll wonder about the ROI (it may be worth calculating the COI (cost of inaction), how and if it will help you. You’ll never know until you give it a go” He invites you to ask yourself, “Am I future-proofing myself, my people and my business? How close to achieving my full potential am I? How close to our full potential are we achieving collectively as a team? How do I know I am learning what I need to learn?” Antonio highlights 4 core components in need of a leader’s special and consistent attention:
* People
* Company
* Self
* Strategy
Bring a notepad and pen, turn on “airplane mode” or “Do not disturb” and learn. Antonio learned his leadership skills in the trenches at the feet of a great leader. He describes an economy of effort and the achievement of success through concerted collective effort. That comes from deep reflection and understanding of the circumstances, the context and choices to be made. Keeping a calm head whilst those around you are losing theirs marks out those who might lead.
