If I can’t lead myself, how can I lead others? The best leaders lead by example, modeling the behavior they desire to see in others.
Ever wondered what makes a truly effective leader? Jan McDonald has some eye-opening thoughts on the matter. In this episode of 'A Quest for Well-Being', Jan chats with Valeria Teles about her book, 'Fruitful Leadership: Leading by the Fruit of the Spirit'. Jan's philosophy is simple yet profound: the hardest person to manage is yourself. If you can't lead yourself, how can you expect to lead others?
She argues that the best leaders are those who model the behavior they want to see in others, embodying the qualities listed as the Fruits of the Spirit—Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self-control. Jan dives into why self-awareness is crucial for effective leadership. It's not just about managing a team; it's about managing your own thoughts and actions first. She believes that by cultivating these spiritual fruits, we can become better leaders and happier individuals.
The conversation touches on the magnetic nature of leadership—how we attract who we are, not who we want. This means that to bring high-quality people into our lives and organizations, we must first exhibit high-quality characteristics ourselves. Jan also discusses the strong link between leadership and personal well-being. She shares her belief that personal growth is an essential part of happiness and effective leadership. By changing our mindset and overcoming limiting beliefs, we can unlock our full potential.
Jan encourages us to be patient and gentle with ourselves as we grow, emphasizing the power of faithfulness and trustworthiness in building strong relationships. Throughout the episode, Jan shares personal anecdotes and practical advice that make her insights both relatable and actionable. She leaves listeners with a clear message: if you want to lead others effectively, start by leading yourself with the Fruits of the Spirit.
This episode is a treasure trove of wisdom for anyone looking to enhance their leadership skills and personal well-being.
