In today's tech-driven world, we must take intentional steps to build genuine connections beyond surface-level interactions. There's no way around the fact that if we want to build strong communities and authentic relationships, we have to regularly set aside time to do a self-check on how we choose to interact with those around us. To help you on this journey, here's a list of books (in no particular order) that provide practical tips, strategies, and inspiration for enhancing your leadership skills and challenging your perspectives. Each one introduces you to an author who highlights real-life situations where things got a little messy or complicated, but it's through their challenges that we can grow and transform. I hope that through their stories, you'll find new insights to help build thriving communities, enhance your leadership skills, and deepen your understanding of what it means to serve others.

Leadership isn't about being in charge. It's about taking care of those in your charge. - Simon Sinek We often get caught up in the notion that leadership means asserting authority and making big decisions. But let's not forget, leadership at its core is service. It’s about empowering your team, fostering trust, and creating an environment where everyone thrives. Here are three practical ways to lead by serving: 1️⃣ Listen actively: Make time for one-on-one meetings and truly hear what your team has to say. 2️⃣ Develop others: Invest in their growth by providing resources and opportunities for learning. 3️⃣ Show empathy: Understand that everyone has unique challenges outside of work; be supportive. How do you ensure you're leading through service? Let’s discuss!

Co-Founder - COO at IM Strategic Planning | Implementation Specialist and Business Strategist | Guiding visionary blueprints to build a solid foundation for success
I just came across this enlightening article that speaks 📢 volumes to the untapped potential within introverted leaders. As someone who identifies as an 🅸🅽🆃🆁🅾🆅🅴🆁🆃 or a somewhat an occasional 🅾🅼🅽🅸🆅🅴🆁🆃, the challenges of conveying my thoughts and ideas in a corporate setting were all too familiar. Despite excelling in my finance role, I often held back valuable feedback that could have enhanced my job and overall team efficiency. The reason? The daunting task of having to 🆂🅿🅴🅰🅺 directly to management which, at the time, felt overwhelming. This article sheds 💡 light on essential strategies that businesses can adopt to empower their quieter achievers. Reflecting on my own journey, I recognize the strides I've made in my communication skills. Starting my own business was a leap towards finding my voice, and yet, I admit, the challenge of being able to voice my opinions and ideas still lingers occasionally. (I am a work in progress, lol 😅 ) Companies stand to gain immensely by creating more inclusive environments that nurture diverse leadership styles, especially those who may not naturally take the floor but have profound insights when given alternative avenues to express themselves. As we aim to harness the full spectrum of leadership potential, encouraging silent superstars to share their unique perspectives can lead to transformative outcomes for any organization. I know my company will surely provide avenues for all of our employees to share and thrive 🌟! Read the full article: (https://lnkd.in/eq4Z-DiK) and join the conversation on how we can better support the introverted leaders among us.
