Prioritize Wellness and Self-Care. Kim starts with a crucial reminder that leadership begins with taking care of yourself. In 2024, it's essential for leaders to prioritize their physical and mental well-being to avoid burnout and stay focused. Kim explains how wellness directly impacts your ability to lead effectively and how small daily practices can make a big difference.
Don’t Make Decisions Out of Pressure or Desperation. In today’s fast-paced environment, many leaders make rushed decisions due to external pressures. Kim discusses the importance of pausing and evaluating choices carefully, avoiding knee-jerk reactions. Good decisions come from a place of clarity, not desperation.
Before Hiring, Evaluate How Your Needs Have Changed. Hiring is a critical aspect of leadership, and Kim stresses the need for reflection before bringing someone new onto your team. Leaders should assess how their organizational needs have evolved and be intentional about the skills and values they need in new hires, rather than simply filling a role.
Consistently Show Appreciation for Those Who Consistently Show Up for You. Gratitude is a cornerstone of strong leadership. Kim emphasizes that showing appreciation to those who consistently support you can strengthen relationships, boost morale, and create a positive, loyal team culture. Leaders should never take their supporters for granted.
Be Mindful of "Friends" Who Fail to Applaud You Publicly. Kim wraps up with a powerful lesson on the importance of surrounding yourself with people who genuinely celebrate your success. She advises leaders to be mindful of those who don’t show public support or acknowledge your accomplishments, as their actions can reveal more about their true intentions.
Whether you’re in a leadership role or aspiring to be, Kim’s insights are filled with practical advice for leading with integrity, self-awareness, and a deeper connection to your team.
