Navigating the Ten Tensions of Leadership

As a leader, you want to be effective – to get results and empower your team. You want to be friendly and approachable...but also authoritative and respected. You try to lead on a macro level, but find yourself slipping into micromanagement from time to time. You want to be relational and yet hold people accountable.  If you’ve experienced these tensions, you’re not alone. Dealing with these leadership tensions is a necessary part of developing your leadership style and increasing your self-awareness. The more you recognize the natural tensions that go along with your leadership role, the better off you will be relationally with your team and you will accelerate your ability to make efficient and effective decisions.

  • Identify the 10 tensions of leadership.
  • Describe effective and efficient decision making as it relates to natural tensions of the leadership role
