How to Lead Like a Girl When The Team Can't Wait For You

Have you ever wanted something so much that it almost blinded you? In fact, the wanting is so strong you almost forgot how you thought you could get it in the first place? And then one of your girlfriends comes up with an idea that makes you say, "Why couldn't I think of that?!" And by the time you know what's going on, she's already taken a step on your behalf to push you closer to the goal she knows you're trying to achieve.

Who's leading who?!

Whether you're leading a team or yourself, sometimes other people just can't wait for you to act on the possibilities they see. And that's ok.

Leading like a girl has a bit to do with believing in the brilliance of others and knowing that leadership is a dance that sometimes means you have to follow (but not always like proper dance etiquette might suggest).

So when your batteries are running low and you don't have the energy to direct, lead or even suggest to people what they need to do...sit back and let them surprise you with their creativity. It might be some of the best leading you'll ever do!
