Outstanding leadership is a philosophy that people choose to practise. It is a result of deep self and situational awareness and it comes from within. When demonstrated, it becomes contagious to teams who experience it, leading to greater engagement, motivation and a willingness to go the extra mile for the cause.
When a leader doesn't understand the impact of their style and shies away from being open, honest and showing vulnerability, teams and organisations fragment, trust depletes, communication falters and results suffer.
