As leaders and change-makers seeking to make significant impacts, it’s easy to fall into the temptation of taking ourselves too seriously.
Now, that is not to say our work isn’t serious or that we cannot seriously care for the outcome of our efforts.
When we take ourselves too seriously, we can put up blinders. We can miss out on feedback, engagement, and most importantly, opportunity.
The way that we carry ourselves significantly contributes to our culture and how others enroll and partner with us on our journey.
Our work can be serious, but we should make sure we are aware of how we dance with our emotions related to our work. Otherwise, we could be missing out on a greater outcome.
