Choosing Your Leadership Path
Leadership is not just about the outcomes we achieve; it’s about the journey we create along the way.
Every day, we face choices that define how we show up for those we lead.
Path 1: The High-Demand Leader
This path prioritizes output and immediate results. While productivity may spike initially, the constant pressure can drain your team, leading them to view their work as a mere transaction rather than a meaningful journey.
Impact: Goals may be met, but the sense of fulfilment diminishes, and team morale can suffer.
Path 2: The Empathetic Leader
Now, imagine leading with empathy and generosity. By fostering trust and encouraging open conversations, you create a supportive environment where everyone feels valued for their unique contributions.
Impact: Your team feels seen, motivated, and inspired to perform at their best from a place of purpose — not pressure.
You become a leader who genuinely uplifts and empowers others. In Healthy Rhythms for Leaders, I wrote, “Leadership isn’t about driving others; it’s about walking alongside them.”
Each choice shapes who we become as leaders — whether we build others up or drive for results. I coach leaders like you who understand the transformative power of empathy, kindness, and generosity.
Let’s choose a path that values both growth and connection.
