I enjoy going out for a good night of dancing. It can be intimidating though at times. More than likely there are people out there doing it "better" than you, perhaps you are in a place that is less familiar, or the music is not what you are used to, then there is the X factor of those around you. So many things going on at once! Leadership can be a complicated dance at times as well. What to delegate? When to step in? How do you make sure that you are not stepping on the other person's toes? When do you lead and when do you let the other person take the lead? Today we'll look at four ways that help you be effective in navigating those leadership moments.

The middle leaders are perhaps the most important part of an organization. They both serve and lead and without these leaders, the ability to get things done becomes hazy at best.

That concept may seem a little odd in your organization, but whether they realize it or not, they need you to leverage your full circle of leadership to impact the organization.
Today we talk through tips and strategies as you lead and influence your leader.

A great leader is a continual learner. They never arrive at their final destination and are constantly looking for ways to grow their knowledge and experience.

Encouragement with your friends and family is just as important as encouragement at work. As we get older, this one seems to slip away from us. Think back to your time in high school or college.

One of the common issues I see leaders face is that they identify too strongly with one aspect of their lives and ignore the other parts. It can be easy to fall into this trap because it typically starts out innocently enough as you pursue something that you enjoy or that is important to you. In the pursuit of more, we let other parts of our lives go neglected. We then begin to put all of our identity and worth into only a single aspect of our lives and we begin to lose that sense of fulfillment. Â
