Did you know that awareness is a key leadership skill?
It is a Next Level skill that a leader must be able to master. Leadership has a relational component...think about it, the whole deal about leadership is leading someone...a person and it requires us to see deeper that just the task at hand and to be aware of what's going on with those we lead.
This is hard to do because we can get so wrapped up in the task that we lose the connection with the real reason we are doing all this and that is to help everyone on the team to navigate the step they are now currently taking.
Many who are new to serving wrestle with so much....New at the task...pressure to do it right....entering into a place where everyone else already knows each other and feels a little out of the loop. Trust me this is a difficult time for a new volunteer and we as leaders need to be aware of that and walk alongside every new volunteer even if it slows down the task.
We need to introduce, explain why, connect with and celebrate with every person who takes that scary risk of taking that step to join our teams!
We have an incredible team don't miss out on your chance to grow as a leader and it starts with growing your awareness.
Whoop! Kev
