At this morning’s Like-Hearted Leaders gathering we had an interesting discussion around what leadership is or could be.

It was an interesting, intricate, circular discussion.

But in the end, I think what leadership could be might be best summed up in the LHL values:

• Real conversations, even if they are difficult.
• Courage to be vulnerable.
• Growth & Learning comes through thoughtful feedback.
• Freedom of expression, where everyone is worthy of contributing.
• Amplify others.
• Trust grows in balanced relationships of give and take.

It’s an interesting question though.

What does leadership mean to you?

What does it mean to whoever you lead?
