Leadership is Poise

PoiseMore than mastering any particular skill, our leadership journeys consist of learning to function with poise.

Poise is being comfortable and secure, balanced and free. Poise derives its strength, not from the trappings of positional power, but from the beauty of one’s professional integrity. (i.e. being whole and consistent in both character and competencies.)

Poise is being free to enjoy work and working hard. Poise is prepared to confront crisis, work through problems, and face down difficulties without losing one’s footing. Poise is being able to learn from everyone, even our worst critics, without fear.

Poise in leadership is a form of being fully alive and totally available for the task we have set for ourselves. Poise in leadership is a magnificently beautiful and deeply fulfilling stance.

When do you feel most alive and secure at work?

On your side,
