Print

Leadership McKinley, class of 2018, shares seven must-do habits to move your leadership to the next level. Developing self-awareness and knowing your team means forging connections that count. Self-aware leaders are more effective because they foster communication and invite feedback, make efforts to inform themselves and others, synthesize ideas, and take action.

It’s TIME to become self-aware and move your leadership to the next level!

Part 4: Sharing the Vision
Contributor – Anthony Dimas Jr.

Self-aware leaders integrate past experiences with the present in order to succeed in the future. To understand where you are going, you need to know where you are coming from and how you got to where you are today. Without understanding your failures and successes of yesterday, you will not be able to succeed tomorrow and lead the next generation of leaders.

The integration of past experiences and current opportunities inform your “leadership vision” within any organization. Self-aware leaders possess a deeper understanding of what is required to succeed, this deeper connection ensures the “vision” will continue to grow and prosper into the future.

When you share “leadership vision” you cultivate young leaders in your organization to succeed. Building the next group of visionaries through mentorship, empowerment, nurturing and leadership cultivation you ensure continued growth and success long after you are gone.
