Summoning the Courage to Lead Change

Leadership transcends titles; it’s the courage to confront discomfort, collaborate on solutions, and take responsibility. Workplace culture thrives when individuals overcome the reluctance to be vulnerable and take risks for meaningful change. True leaders step into the unknown, acknowledging the need for improvement and saying, “Enough! I will give it my best shot.”

To foster change, one must reflect on their role in negative situations. Venting or blaming doesn’t help; instead, it’s about sharing a vision, saying “We…” and inspiring others to join in. Be the catalyst for change every day, even if the solution doesn’t work immediately. Embrace vulnerability, be patient, and accept the role as a change catalyst.

Becoming a leader means walking toward workplace obstacles with positivity, accepting the responsibility for change, and being resilient in the face of setbacks, despite your position or title. Every effort, imperfect as it may be, sets an example. As more individuals in the workplace take these steps, the culture becomes enchanting, fostering a collaborative and supportive environment. Summon the courage to change workplace culture collectively, facing fears, embracing vulnerability, and intentionally moving toward a positive future.

This where I can do my best work. This is where I want to work. Fortunately, this is where I work. You?

Always forward,

Kelly
