Happy New Year from The Leadership Haven! 🎉 As we step into 2024, our guiding word is "Discipline." Leadership Discipline is vital because it ensures consistency, fosters trust, and drives sustained success. It empowers leaders to set clear paths, make tough decisions, and inspire others through unwavering commitment. This starts with taking the time to do a little self-inventory: Reflecting on 2023: What did I learn? What held me back? What made me happy? What made me proud? Looking forward to 2024: Am I willing to stay the course? What do I need to change? Who else can I touch with my divine gifts? What’s the most important thing right now? May Discipline in leadership guide us to greater heights in the year ahead. Here's to a year filled with growth, resilience, and impactful leadership! #theleadershiphaven #leadership #happynewyear2024 #happynewyear #discipline #leadershipdiscipline

Empathy is the cornerstone of exceptional leadership. As people leaders, we must walk in our team's shoes to understand their journey. Maya Angelou once said, 'People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.' Let's make our teams feel valued, understood, and supported. That's the path to greatness. #Leadership #Empathy #PeopleFirst"

This quote resonates deeply with me and my mission. The greatest leaders are the ones who listen and engage their associates. The greatest leaders develop their team. They give their associates opportunities to be visible. Because they know their associates are their most valuable asset. I'd love to hear your thoughts on what leadership means to you. Share in the comments. Let's learn from each other and keep making waves in our careers and beyond. Your unique perspective matters. Together, we're unstoppable. P.S. I changed President Reagan's words from "he" to "they" to include everyone. #leadershipdevelopment #womenleaders #leadershipquotes

Bhagavad Gia Quote: When leaders become heroes True leaders become heroes when they courageously tackle tough situations and make sacrifices for what's right. Leadership isn't about external power but comes from understanding yourself, staying disciplined, finding satisfaction within, and serving others selflessly. Even when hard choices lead to conflict with those we care about, standing firm in virtue is what defines real leadership. #leadership #BhagavadGita #Heroes

Agree? This quote applies to all of us, while we keep yearning to be at the mountaintop all of the time, the journey in the valleys can be the most transformative, grounding and maturing experience. True leadership is not just about conquering peak moments of success, but also about navigating the challenges and setbacks encountered in the valleys of our journey. These valleys, often marked by adversity and obstacles, are where we truly learn, grow, and refine our character and skills. Embracing these trials with resilience and grace is what sets mature leaders apart. We can emerge from the valleys stronger, wiser, and better equipped to inspire and guide others to greater heights. Let us remember that the journey to leadership excellence isn’t just about the view from the top but the transformative power of the journey itself. Wishing you a week where you are not afraid to walk through the valley!! Much love, Barbara #matureleadership #maturity #barbaravercruysse

Being groomed as a leader in the military emphasized the importance of taking care of not just your team, but also their families. This experience underscored that true leadership involves understanding and supporting the holistic needs of those you lead, recognizing that caring for their families is integral to their well-being and effectiveness. This principle of comprehensive care has deeply influenced my approach to leadership, reinforcing the value of empathy and fostering a culture where every team member feels supported both professionally and personally. #securitymanager #security #leadership

The few sentences in this post are so powerful. I firmly believe a leaders role is to develop and support the people around them. Something I’ve learned over the last 15 years of managing people is that empathy and kindness are key to top performing teams. Help people see the value in each other and themselves.

Dear Leader, How you describe and address your team members before others is a reflection of how grand your leadership is. If you describe and address them as “Boys and Girls”, that makes you a leader of “Boys and Girls”. If you describe and treat them as Men and Women of excellence, that makes you a Leader of Men and Women of excellence. Imagine describing them as some of the brightest and smartest people in the world. What does that make you? In elevating your team members, you have automatically elevated yourself. In acknowledging the greatness embedded in those working with you, you automatically acknowledge yourself as one who is blessed to be their arrowhead. Now that you know this, how would you describe your team members? #T.W.O #leadership #leadershipcoaching #leadershipdevelopment #leadershipexcellence
