The best leaders are attuned to themselves and their relationships with others - they understand who they are as leaders, what their strengths and weaknesses are in a role, and how they affect followers. ~Robert Kelley

Leadership is Everybody’s Business. Whether you’re a parent, or whether you’re the president. 


I want to ask you a question. As a Leader, are you a thermostat setting the temperature? Or are you a thermometer reflecting the temperature? 


It’s important to understand those two distinctions: A thermometer picks up on the anxiety, the anxiousness, what’s going on, and it reflects it. A thermostat stays steady, sets it, and it stays there.


What we need today in our society, are people who are self-differentiating … like a thermostat … it knows where its going, it stays steady, it doesn’t move. 


Your people, whether their your children, your employees, your constituents are asking three questions:


1. Do you know where you’re going?
2. Can you get us there?
3. Will you honor us along the way?


As a Leader, you need to understand Who You Are, What’s Your Design, How Do You Do What You Do, Why Do You Do What You Do, How Do You Behave … That’s very important, because that will tell us how you’re going to be as a Leader, how you’re going to set the temperature. 


I want to help you understand how to be that kind of Leader. Self-differentiated. Not affected by what’s going on, but able to move people to a better place.
