In the simplest of terms, interdependent leadership means shifting your perspective to view the world through the lens of "we" rather than "I;” here are six truths to help you do that: Relying on other people does not equal weakness; it creates strength. When you create a culture that embraces collaboration, you draw on the highest and best use of each team member's talents. Everything and everyone is—or can be—connected. Interdependent leaders see the possibilities—no matter how obscure—in everything, and understand and how that connectivity can be put to use. Fostering and maintaining relationships is crucial. Your ability to connect with others matters, whether you're trying to collaborate or communicate with them. Empowering people builds trust. Micromanaging doesn't happen with interdependent leaders because they don't feel the need to be in control. Leading with positivity trumps leading with fear. Interdependent leaders tend to be confident, allowing positivity and openness to shine, which naturally draws others to them. Taking risks and embracing failure are opportunities to grow. Interdependent leaders know that failure and success aren't mutually exclusive; they're connected. #leadership #career #mindset #growth #relationships #emotionalintelligence …see more
