There may not be an “I” in team, but there is an “I” in disengaged.

What does this have to do with leadership? Well, regardless of what, why and where you lead, you — as the leader — are directly responsible for the engagement of those who follow you.

Whether you’re leading a family, a class or a corporation, leadership means inspiring others to achieve certain outcomes. And it’s up to you to decide whether you are leading positively or negatively — and whether you choose to focus on engagement or merely output.

Leadership can often be equal parts high confidence and self-esteem and worrying if you’re doing it right while continually searching for answers. Whether you’re a leader in an organizational setting or have high influence in some other capacity, improving your leadership begins with a focus on improving what you’re already good at.
