#TipForTuesday – What is Leadership?

I made a commitment at the beginning of the year to dedicate the second Tuesday of each month to a post regarding leadership.

Selecting three cards at random from the Developing the Leader Within You deck, this month’s leadership words are:

• Simplicity – lack of complexity, complication
• Balance – balancing time and effort between work, home and hobbies
• Efficiency – producing results in a timely manner with a minimal of waste, expense or unnecessary effort

I really do just randomly select these cards and this month’s all fit perfectly together, don’t you think?
We all talk about work/life balance but it is a rare thing to actually be able to accomplish it fully. As a leader, if we demonstrate this daily balance to our team members and lead by example,if we focus on simplifying our lives, saying yes to what’s important and being ok with saying no to what’s not,  work smarter, not harder, I think we can begin to the find that balance.
