It’s been a monumental few days. Many of us are feeling exhausted, elated, or a combination of both. I have to say, I had a BIG sigh of relief after hearing Biden won the election. I am feeling hopeful again.
Yet, others are feeling despair.
It’s hard to ignore when 50% of our country has an opposing view of our own. It’s a wake-up call. To put it in perspective, what if 50% of your company, team, family, non-profit or other organization you’re involved with, had a drastically different view than your own? What if half of all the people you came into contact with on a daily basis – at the grocery store or on a zoom call – held different beliefs and opinions?
Even though we may want to, we can’t make the other side or person wrong.
Whether you have an opposing political opinion or see things differently than your boss, partner or friend, in every conversation and interaction, do your best to:
1. Accept, not reject, opposing views and feelings
2. Be open, curious, and receptive
3. Respect, be humble and kind
Getting on the same page may be A LOT to ask of us right now – but we can try.
Let’s lead the way forward.
To realize our full potential, it’s imperative to step fully into our confidence, define our authentic leadership style, be clear about our purpose and take aligned action so we can have the greatest impact within our companies we serve.
