When you were promote to leadership, your title changed, but did your mindset shift as well? Thinking like a leader starts with understanding your purpose, your "why", the impact you want to have on your team. With this clarity and self awareness, your actions become authentic and genuine as they are purposeful.
Finding your why is your reminder of why you do the things you do? Why do you work for your particular company? Why do you lead a team? Why did you choose this path? Getting crystal clear, invites a deliberate, intentional experience with your team. Sharing your why highlights you as a person, the layers that make you human allowing your team to connect with your true self. This is what trust is built on.

Assess your leadership style. How does your team see you? The executive team? How do you see yourself? What are your strengths and weaknesses? Do your conversations focus on the other person or yourself? Is there room for a deeper dive in your behaviours, habits, thoughts.? Gaining clarity on why we do things the way we do, exposes our motivations. Do we want to be liked, feel more secure, overcome imposter syndrome? Becoming aware of our thoughts and feelings is the first step towards growth.

Are you coaching from the sidelines? Giving them the play by play script? or are you asking probing questions to get them thinking for themselves, inviting them to tap in to their own experiences and come up with a solution. This pattern builds confidence, self trust and conviction. Avoid a dependancy model and build a team with strong critical thinking and decision making skills.
Empowerment strategies to avoid giving your team the answers
Facilitate discussions vs dictate and provide responses
Have you ever said "I'm not sure, what do you think we should do"?
Instill a strong sense of self by asking the right questions, promote self reflection, increased awareness and trust. Over time these behaviours becomes automated.
Some times difficult conversations are inevitable, it's how we handle them that will preserve or end the relationship. Are we first seeking to understand? Understand the motivation behind the occurrence, the intent. Being firm, yet respectful, not attaching someone's character is critical.
