In this episode of The Present Professional, we dive into the second installment of our Lead from Any Level series, inspired by John Maxwell's "The 360 Leader." The focus is on the concept of leading up, which is essential for individuals at all levels of an organization, from new hires to top executives. John and Tony discuss the importance of contributing to the leadership dynamic above you and how doing so can enhance your leadership trajectory and the overall communication framework within your organization. A key takeaway highlighted is the role of emotional intelligence in leading up effectively. Listeners are encouraged to prioritize leading themselves exceptionally well, regardless of their position in the company.
Leading yourself effectively is the first step to influencing leaders and making an impact at any level in your organization. This means mastering emotional, time, and energy management while building strong relationships and fostering self-awareness.
By practicing these principles, you can "lead up" effectively, earning trust, alleviating burdens, and positioning yourself as a valued team member. Strong self-leadership creates opportunities for growth and builds a culture of collaboration and respect.
