There are moments when you won't get inspiration, direction, or vision from your leader. This is why you need to have some go-to questions you can have in your back pocket to help you lead yourself when you need to the most. The first question you can ask yourself is: Why Am I Doing This? The second question you can ask yourself is: What Credit Can I Give Away? The third question you can ask yourself is: What Mistakes Can I Own? The fourth question you can ask yourself is: Who Knows Who I Really Am? Celebrities often become celebrities by being themselves, but to remain one, they have to become who others need them to be or risk losing something. You need a space in your life where you can be you. Authenticity is important for who you're becoming. Being known is one of the best things we can do for our own mental health and leading ourselves well.  You never want to be faking it publicly remaining privately broken.  If you’re struggling with depression, who knows? If you’re having suicidal thoughts, who knows? If you’re having an affair, who knows? If you’re fudging numbers to look better, who knows? If you’re drowning in debt, who knows? Everybody doesn’t have to know, but somebody does. For more show notes and episodes, go to ryanleak.com/followership.

The first question you can ask yourself is: Why Am I Doing This? The second question you can ask yourself is: What Credit Can I Give Away? The third question you can ask yourself is: What Mistakes Can I Own? When things are going well, everyone volunteers to get their piece of the success pie. When things are going south, everyone scatters because most people don't want own their piece of why things aren't working.  Two of the most powerful words that can help you lead yourself well are: I'm sorry.  What will make you more attractive to high-level leaders is when take ownership for your area. We should be generous with credit and hogs with the blame.  What colleague could you call, message, or email today to apologize for something you've done in the past 6 months? What do you need to own that maybe you've been ignoring? For more show notes and episodes, go to ryanleak.com/followership. 

There are moments when you won't get inspiration, direction, or vision from your leader. This is why you need to have some go-to questions you can have in your back pocket to help you lead yourself when you need to the most. The first question you can ask yourself is: Why Am I Doing This? The second question you can ask yourself is: What Credit Can I Give Away? Don’t you love it when you give an idea in a meeting and nobody likes it... And then someone else gives your same idea 3 months later and people think they’re a genius? We're tempted to grab as much credit as we possible can because we’ve all been on the end of not getting credit we deserved. So here’s why this question is so important… So you can be the opposite of what you’ve experienced in the past. Reply all emails are the perfect opportunity to give credit to other people when we're tempted to make ourselves look better.  We have an infatuation with being self-made, but in all reality, every "self-made" person had help along the way. They read a book. They had a friend. They listened to a podcast. They watched a Ted Talk. Would it hurt to give them some credit? Not getting credit is the best thing for our pride. Giving credit is good for our relationships. How much credit do you think you deserve for your department’s success? It's often over-inflated. It's always better to err on the side of giving more credit to others than taking more credit than you actually deserve.  For more show notes and episodes, go to ryanleak.com/followership.
