MenuHow are you balancing your need for self-care with the demands of providing stable, confident leadership through this time of upheaval?
This question has no further details.
Answers
Tip: Always have a revenue stream you manage as a single person (no other people required) which produces 3X your monthly living expenses.
What you're asking relates to niche/business.
For example, for a cafe manager this question makes no sense, because during a Pandemic (I'm guessing this is what you're talking about) a cafe manager is at home.
A project manager working managing people working from home, will have learned how to accomplish this from years of experience, custom crafting how they do this to the exact team member personalities being managed.
In general, far better to hire people which require little or no leadership/management. People who simple do their work with no oversight, producing stellar work product.
If a team consists of this type of people, they lead themselves... for the most part...
Use as many online services as possible to maintain the quality of your business or case. Keep in touch with your community and customers, show concern and interest about them, and then your leadership position will be maintained, and possibly even strengthened.
I think a big part (perhaps the biggest part) is adjusting to the new normal. When you recognize that things have changed, you are better able to adapt to what comes next. I talked about this on my podcast here in June: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMWCwJvVwG4 and here in October: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AMT1FeURFk
I believe that in this time of upheaval balancing is extremely essential. There are three essential qualities that helped me as a leader:
1. The Desire to Lead-Without the desire to lead, you will not be willing to do the work that it takes to become the leader of the team.
2. Commitment to the Mission and Vision of the Organization: The first leaders of any organization were those that first created it.
3. Integrity: Integrity can be defined simply as being true to your word, being authentic in your actions and speech, and demonstrating the kind of behaviour that you would like to see your employees have.

What to expect from (and how to find) a business coach?
1. Have very high expectations that they will be your coach, not necessarily your friend (though many of my clients have become my friends, my first responsibility is to be their coach and focus on their business growth). 2. Ask around to the people you know who have a coach, Google "business coach in (your city), or RSVP to the many coaches who have posted answers here (myself included: I offer a free strategy session to see if we're a fit, email brad@bradwarren.com) 3. Ask what their business background is, and are they a "pure" coach (who only asks you questions and never gives advice) or are they a hybrid coach (like me. I make a distinction between coaching, consulting, and training, and I do all three depending on what you the client needs). 4. Depending on whether it's by phone or in person, the frequency, their level of expertise, etc., the fees can vary from $400 to $2000 or more per month. Hope that helps. Again, email brad@bradwarren.com for a no-obligation session with me over the phone.Brad Warren - Business Coach brad@bradwarren.comBW

What are some of the most important leadership trends of Today?
Your question and your question detail are quite different. First, your question: The most important leadership trend is that the nature of leadership is changing. People want more autonomy and less oversight and direct management. Do you currently have a team? By the details you provided, it sounds like you are asking this question in hopes of being prepared to lead *when* you have a team, not asking about the team you have to date. Either way, leadership is much like parenting. Everyone has an opinion of how you should do it, but you will do what feels right to you, which is a process of much experimentation and feedback. Don't overthink the issue of leadership, especially in very small teams and companies. I'm happy to talk to you about specific issues you're dealing with or worried about to provide you very direct responses to those concerns.Tom WilliamsTW

What's the right stock compensation package for an advisor board?
Most advisors get between .25% to 1%. 1% assumed they are VERY important and will be active in either recruiting or raising capital (2 of the most important areas). Advisors don't do it for the equity - at least they shouldn't - what they want more than anything is recognition from you publicly that they've been helpful to you + feedback loop (follow up) that you're listening and implementing their feedback. Hope that helps.Dan MartellDM

How do you differentiate yourself from your peers?
Hey, This is a great question that can be answered with many answers. Simply, and as cliche as it is, it is to believe in yourself and promote your true self. Simon Sinek wrote a book called "Start with WHY" and it is about finding out WHY you do things and start with telling people why you do things instead of what you do. Mostly everyone promotes WHAT they do and HOW they are different from everyone else who does the same thing they do. I firmly believe Sinek is correct when he says to start with telling people WHY you do what you do then tell them how you do it. Once you start to apply this to everyday life, you will notice yourself become different from your peers. It will be subtle but this is a way to stay true to who you are and what you believe and you can be a leader with that. Good luckAlec J. WitkowskiAJ

Does anyone know a simple game or activity to teach leaders how to delegate?
Try designing an activity where the leader has to describe to his team members how to build something or complete a certain task, with his back facing the team so he can't see what they're doing. Succeeding in this type of activity will require that the leader is able to use clear communication without being directly involved or micromanaging the situation. It will also require trust from both parties, and will force the team members to work together & help each other as they try to work out the specifics of carrying out the task. You can follow the activity with questions about what the leader did well and what he could have done better, and also what was frustrating for the leader. Push them to articulate how this activity translates to work in their organization. Here's a great example of this activity with a bit more detail: https://prezi.com/i1w8-bnyso-l/activity-to-teach-delegation/Sarah BrodySB
