Leader Garden-Helping firms Cultivate and Grow their Leaders

Symmetrical Leadership ideally identifies a leader who is in balance.  This balance provides for an even consideration of Outcome and Relationship when considering how work gets done.  It is inevitable the leaders get off-balance and become non-symmetrical.  The key is understanding when you are off-balance and also knowing how to get back in balance and restore your symmetry.

Leadership Self Awareness is a tried and true basic, but it is also one of the most widely ignored aspects of leadership by leaders.  On the flip side, it is one of the most instantly recognized attributes of leadership by the followers.  Every follower knows when their leader is out of balance and lacking in Symmetry.

Feedback is the breakfast of champions when it comes to Self Awareness, balance and Symmetrical Leadership.  We’ll talk more about how to restore this leadership balance which is the real core of Symmetrical Leadership.  You can learn more about giving and receiving feedback at the Center for Creative Leadership (CCL).   I have attended several of their sessions and have benefited greatly from these experiences.

Consider this:  What is the most signficant piece of feedback you have received in the last 30 days?  What did it relate to and how did you receive this feedback?
