Successful leaders understand the difference in leading with influence versus leading with control. Leaders, if you want to to have a healthy team environment, you must learn to control less and influence more. Have you been in an environment where influence is dominant? Take your pick.

These potholes can become deep, and when they do, and you hit them, you can literally lose your leadership influence. The leader afraid to challenge will create an environment where mediocrity, chaos, and unhealthy team environment prevails – and eventually it will bite them. I’m referring to them as potholes.

The leader afraid to challenge will create an environment where mediocrity, chaos, and unhealthy team environment prevails – and eventually it will bite them. When a leader becomes “too good” for the people trying to follow – they stop serving a team and start managing people chasing a paycheck.

You can’t influence people if you haven’t invited them and welcomed them once they’ve arrived. I prefer to think about leadership as influence. I need to get people in a place where I can influence them. I want my team to want to go where I’m trying to lead them. Moral leaders lead in moral ways to moral ends.

Frankly, I’d be comfortable leading by email, but how healthy would that environment be? There has to be an environment with all leaders that encourages people to think for themselves. It’s not easy being a leader, but it is more manageable when you discipline yourself to allow others to help you lead.

I protect my family time and try to create an environment that allows that to be a value for everyone on the team, but when we know where we are going and who is responsible for what — when we are at work — let’s get it done. Limited need for oversight - I can’t stand micro-management.

You may not have much influence. I didn’t realize the importance of time management, showing up for work, and injecting passion into the routine. You gain support – I understand some leaders create toxic environments and it’s just not healthy for you to serve under them for too long. We are leaders.
