The Present Professional

In the second episode of our Lead From Any Level series, inspired by John Maxwell's The 360° Leader, we unpack the next layer of the three-part series, "Leading Up." We'll discuss our favorite strategies from our work-life perspectives so you get something to take into the office and home with you.

It all starts with how well you lead yourself. Especially if you're new to an organization as an entry-level or experienced hire. Before you lead anyone at any level, you'll want to lead yourself exceptionally well. This relates to your daily practices, saying no to protect your energy, and developing self-awareness. Then, give yourself some grace and do your best when you step into a new role or organization.

Embrace your ignorance, and know that your perspective is unique no matter where you are in the organization. Sometimes your thoughts are exactly what leadership needs to hear because they're distanced from the ground floor. Your leadership will thank you as you lighten their load and develop a relationship grounded in trust. You make their job easier, and they'll never forget you. We'll say this for any 1-up, 1-down relationship.
