Where do you find your leadership motivation?

I turned to today’s page of the My Daily Coach calendar. It reads, “Where will you find inspiration?” In today’s times, leaders need a little more inspiration or motivation to help them lead their teams, department or business.

 

You probably don’t have the luxury of taking a lot of time off to recharge and find the inspiration you need, so find it in small doses where you can.

Here’s one idea:

 

Connect with peers. One of the best sources of leadership motivation comes through connections with other leaders. If you’ve been out of touch with some of your peers, now is the time to reconnect.

 

Let them know some of the challenges you’re facing and, more importantly, what you would be most excited to accomplish. Leaders are often motivated by achievement. Gain ideas from other managers or leaders within and outside your industry to help you achieve your business and personal goals.

 

Reciprocate. Ask about their goals. Offer ideas of your own that will be of value to your peers. It's not a new concept, but worth remembering that by keeping your focus on how you can contribute to the success of others, you'll build your own.

 

Let me know where you’re looking for or finding your leadership motivation or inspiration. Your ideas will help others.
