The Power of Empowerment:  How Great Leaders Grow Leaders

Every school, business, and organization is full of “untapped” potential, and it is the privilege of leaders to discover and develop the greatness inside of every person on our team.  As leaders, oftentimes it isn’t the desire to empower others that holds us back, but rather it is our perspective and understanding of how to create and sustain a culture where we are maximizing the potential inside of every person. 

When we are willing to look inward, invest relationally, and empower our people with authority, our team, our culture, and our impact will grow exponentially as a result! 

Developing the Authentic Leader Inside of You

Our world is in desperate need for authentic leaders - leaders who live from their values, lead with relational transparency, invite feedback into their life, prioritize what matters most, and foster self-awareness to grow into their best, healthiest selves.  Everything rises and falls on leadership, so it is more important than ever that we cultivate our personal growth for the sake of our teams and those we lead. 

Research shows that authentic leaders build high levels of trust, steward powerful cultures, and grow resilience, hope, and optimism in those they lead.  But, it all starts with the inner work first.  Become the leader you have always desired to be for the sake of your team, your family, and the legacy you desire to leave. 

Creating a Culture that Lasts

Everyone wants to be a part of a place that they can’t wait to walk into every day.  But, to truly foster that positive culture in your organization or on your team, it comes down to the ownership we are willing to take and our commitment to those we serve.  Powerful cultures consist of people who are passionate about their personal growth, develop their mindset, embody the collective values and beliefs of their team, and create spaces that are catalysts to move people towards their fullest potential. 

It’s time to stretch and grow into a high-impact leader, team member, and champion for those that we serve each day by building a culture that truly lasts.
