This Week's Student Leadership Lesson
Successful leaders CONNECT rather than DIRECT.
- Connecting is collaborative, while directing is authoritative
- Connecting is listening, while directing is talking
- Connecting is side-by-side, while directing is top-down
- Connecting is empowering people, while directing is enlisting people
- Connecting involves more understanding, while directing involves more assuming
- Connecting asks questions, while directing gives answers
- Connecting prioritizes others' agendas, while directing prioritizes your own agenda
- Connecting involves standing on others' ground, while directing involves standing on your own ground
