...IF you learn to translate your innate leadership strengths into tangible action.
The Miranda Priestly in you is not going to relate to the management advice and books out there. So you figure, you'll just sort it out through trial and error.
Your expectations are laid out from Day 1 and your team feels secure in what is expected of them.
You prioritize boundaries, and create a "by the book" work environment.
You are intentional and decisive, and you find it easy to make hiring decisions.
You lean into data, and feel confident in backing up your decisions with cold hard metrics.
You're an extremely fair boss.
You can be rigid in your decision making, and your more creative team members may not thrive under that type of rigidity.
You may find it difficult to see multiple sides of a situation or conflict, it makes your fairness driven brain short circuit when there isn't a clear answer.
It may be harder to recover from discipline or conflict at work, which can result in turnover (expensive!)
You may not always get straight answers from your team which can be difficult when making more nuanced decisions.
Some team members might check out when they aren't motivated or bought in, and might feel like these emotional concerns will annoy you if they are brought up.
Modern leaders have grown out of the traditional leadership resources out here. Throw in a rapidly changing work environment, and unpredictable and unprecedented business challenges, developing ourselves as leaders that celebrate differences and diversity is the last thing on our "Must Do Today No Matter What" list.
WIthout team support, our companies can't last. Without confidence, our teams won't deliver. And without modern leadership education, the journey to build a successful team feels impossible.
