In this Episode, Lisa talks about the most important characteristics of what makes a Transformational Leader.
What makes a leader? A leader wants to see things changed. A leader is a person who can envision how something can be and has ideas about how to take action to get to that place, that change in a family, in an organization. So leaders have vision and leaders can inspire. And by inspire, I mean, they come around, rally people and say, “Hey, look, come on. We can do this. Come on with me. Let’s go there.” And they paint the picture. They point the way.
When you think about your leadership, when you think about what you offer, when you think about the goals that you have for yourself personally and professionally, change is a big part of it. And here’s what I want to tell you about change. It’s hard. You’re experiencing it right now. You know that change is hard, but if you’re willing to look for the opportunities that change brings, change can be good. Change is hard, but change is good. So leadership is a part of who you are. And you know that this is a time to lean in, to let go of the things that have held you back from truly believing that you’re a leader and lean in toward the unique call that God has on your life. I like to think of the passage of Matthew 11:28 through 30, where Jesus talks about and invites us, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”
As you continue to grow and you let go of self limiting beliefs and the things that hold you back, you are going to become more of who he intends for you to be. So that leadership call is priceless, it is precious, and it’s profound. Lean in my friends.
