Bowls of Porridge
I don’t like porridge! There, I have said it! But shhh, don’t tell my kids! So far, they are more than happy to eat it and it is a luxury to them with frozen fruit and honey all over the top.
They eat porridge a few times a week because I know how good it is for them, and I eat it too. This is something we have to do as a parent so we don’t want to influence the children to avoid a varied diet!
As business leaders, there are so many things that we may have to do that we don’t enjoy and is not natural to us; if you are a creative, maybe you don’t like being bound by plans but we KNOW that this is good practice. If you are a more controlling type of leader, you engage stakeholders because this is the good practice you have to show your team that all ideas get results. We all like diversity, we like different points of view and we know what is right! What do you have to do to ensure you are setting a good leadership example but is not natural to you? What is your porridge?
