Part of being a good leader is knowing what your strengths and weaknesses are and surrounding yourself with people who compliment those areas. So far we have discussed the WHO and WHAT of developing your leadership philosophy, today, we are going to address the WHEN.
Understanding WHEN you are at your best and WHEN you are not can help you recognize the areas you need to improve in as a leader and in what areas you excel. Also, understanding your WHEN helps you know what situations you may not be the most effective leader you can be. You may also learn that you thrive during crisis situations! Take some time and really be honest with yourself about when you are an effective leader and when you are not. I have included a few of my personal answers to the questions down below.
1. When do you need to lead?
a. Teaching new concept.
b. Group lacks direction.
c. Feel uncertain or unsure on next steps. Help organize and create action plan.
d. Group lacks confidence and needs a boost.
e. Finding a solution to a problem.
2. When are you most effective at leading?
a. When overprepared and clear plan.
b. Comfortable with material.
