Moving from being Fearful to a Fighter as a Leader


Current leadership skill level: Fearful. Being a fearful leader is a sign of weakness to followers. Strong leadership has a significant role in reestablishing and maintaining goals and values of a team (Kerwin & Bopp, 2013). Leaders must fight for their team members trust to uphold the goals and values of the team.

How to build being a fighter as a strength: Leaders should ask the hard questions. Leaders can take on a mentorship relationship with employee from another department to test their fighter capabilities (Kerwin & Bopp, 2013). Leaders who seek out 2-3 opportunities per year to mentor and help develop employees and in return the leader will develop skills themselves.
