I am sure you have heard the saying “It takes a village”. Most people use it in reference to raising kids, but the concept applies in countless other scenarios. In the last few weeks I have noticed how much I rely on my peers in leadership, looking back it’s been a big part of my leadership growth. Whether it’s getting feedback on tone, talking through my talking points for a difficult convo or even role playing. If I need support or guidance, they are there for me and I do the same for them.
Having an engaged leadership cohort is KEY to being able to grow and support your leaders growth. In the right environments, it can even expedite your growth as a leader. Don’t shy away from asking dumb questions, don’t be embarrassed because you don’t know something. The best way to learn something you don’t know is to ask someone who has done it before.
You are strong as a group than any one individual ever will be. Lean into each other and grow together.
