If You Feel Alone, You Aren’t Alone

Leaders Direct, Guide, Manage, Decide, Counsel, Encourage, Challenge…

You think of others and the organization before yourself.

You think about tomorrow while those around you focus on today.

You know things others don’t and can’t know. You keep confidences.

You can’t spill your guts. You’re guarded even when you’re open.

You’re always on, watched and evaluated.

Engage people in the process early and often.

Avoid faking and pretending.

Develop authentic relationships with leaders outside your organization.

Expose your heart to someone you trust. Be selective.

Hire a coach. Be a coach. Have a coach.

Take alone time at least once a month. Weekly is better. Alone time helps with loneliness.

Clear your mind so you can think more clearly. Read, walk, run, exercise or go to a movie.
