There is a gap between what we are expected to do, and what may need to be done. Sometimes we feel this as a tension, in our integrity or sense of authentic action.
This is because systems hold different truths of what is ‘right’ - what is right for each individual, for the Organisation as a whole, and for society more broadly, and these ‘rights’ do not necessarily align.
In this sense, Social Leadership does not simply take place at the intersection of systems, but also at the intersection of ‘truths’, and it speaks to how our role is to navigate, with integrity and transparency.
Leadership is not about giving everyone what they want, but it is about clarity, fairness, and a willingness to shift our balance.
Use your sixty seconds today to consider this in the context of your own leadership.
Our community exploring Social Leadership in our everyday practice continues to grow: if you know anyone who may value this reflective work, please do share it.
