A Leadership Challenge for us all today - What have you done to earn your Leadership today?

It is critical to remember that being a Leader is a privilege that requires work every day to get better....as Leaders we owe that to our people to EARN that privilege every day.

While a broad range of views can be had on Michael as a Leader, one thing is not in dispute...he worked hard each and every day to earn his role as a Leader.

Leadership is a series of ongoing challenges to execute, perform and grow.

Getting into a Leadership is the first challenge, the bigger one is to re-earn that right on a daily basis.

A good way I find that the CEO's I work with reflect on this is...."If someone watched me developing and performing as a Leader yesterday, would they be excited to select me for the role today?"

In short, did I earn my role as a Leader yesterday to justify my privilege of being the selected Leader today?

This mindset means that we see our Leadership as a never ending daily development opportunity on our path towards being a great leader.

This is a great challenge to yourself and your leaders to develop a truely best practice Leadership culture.

So the key question that you can ask yourself today is am I earning my Leadership today so that I deserve that privilege tomorrow?

Have a great day all and I hope this Leadership mindset tip is a good 2 minute opportunity to reflect on your Leadership today.
