What will they say?<\/p>\n<p>What will they say about your leadership? What do you want them to say? Why does it even matter?<\/p>\n<p>If you lead people, you are automatically building a leadership legacy, whether you want it or not. It\u2019s not just about how you excel at your profession, it\u2019s also about the impact and impression you leave on other people &#8211; &#8211; your employer, employees, colleagues, and customers. You want to leave a legacy where people speak your name in a positive light, even when you\u2019re not in the room, and think about you for opportunities that will take you to the next level.<\/p>\n<p>Take a moment to reflect on the past week. Write down three words that describe how you made the people you lead feel. Do the same for whoever you report to and then, for your colleagues and customers. The words you wrote down likely reflect what you value in your leadership and relationships and what will shape your leadership legacy. Do the words you wrote reflect your intended outcome? If so, great. Keep improving what you\u2019re doing and keep these words visible to help you stay aligned with what\u2019s important to you. If not, you have some work to do.<\/p>\n<p>Climbing the leadership ladder does not come with instructions on how to do the very thing that will make you an effective leader: building relationships that connect, inspire, and motivate people to act. If you\u2019re lucky, you have a mentor, coach, or someone in your life who intentionally supports your growth and development and keeps you grounded and accountable. Leading people is an exercise in patience and flexibility, but if you do it \u201cright\u201d, your people will have your back, know their contributions are valued, and think twice before doing anything that jeopardizes the integrity of your relationship. These attributes embody a leadership legacy rooted in the core values of compassion, integrity, and accountability and are the keys to building a healthy, diverse, positive, and productive workplace culture and a legacy to be proud of. Here are a few ways to make them work for you.<\/p>\n<h4>Build a culture of compassion<\/h4>\n<p>Not long ago, effective leadership primarily meant inspiring an environment that created exhausted, stressed, burned-out employees competing to be seen, heard, and valued. But the \u201cgreat resignation\u201d has quickly taught us people would rather quit their job than be subjected to those conditions. Compassionate leadership on the other hand has gotten a bad rap over the years. It\u2019s getting better, but when some people think of leading with compassion, they think it just merely means being nice to people. That\u2019s part of it, but there\u2019s more to it. A leader who builds a culture of compassions allows everyone to leave the conversation with their dignity, integrity, and wellbeing intact. They see, hear and value the people they depend on to make the organization, team, or project successful. They let people know that they don\u2019t just see them as<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 2\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>objects that produce an outcome, but that they see them as humans and as an integral part of the organization\u2019s success. Acknowledging, celebrating, and coaching instead of criticizing and demeaning are ways to lead with compassion. The Takeaway: Build a culture of compassion by being a leader with compassion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.22&#8243; background_color=&#8221;#f7f7f4&#8243; min_height=&#8221;721px&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;2_3,1_3&#8243; use_custom_gutter=&#8221;on&#8221; gutter_width=&#8221;1&#8243; make_equal=&#8221;on&#8221; column_padding_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221; module_class=&#8221; et_pb_row_fullwidth&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.25&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; width_tablet=&#8221;100%&#8221; width_phone=&#8221;&#8221; width_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width_tablet=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width_phone=&#8221;&#8221; max_width_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px|&#8221; make_fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; custom_width_px=&#8221;680px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.25&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.careersingovernment.com\/tools\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2-6.jpeg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Emotional,Quotient,Eq.,Head,Silhouette,And,Gears,Around.&#8221; show_bottom_space=&#8221;off&#8221; force_fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; align_tablet=&#8221;center&#8221; align_phone=&#8221;&#8221; align_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.14.4&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;-39px|||||&#8221; animation=&#8221;off&#8221; sticky=&#8221;on&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.25&#8243; background_color=&#8221;#efefe9&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.careersingovernment.com\/tools\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/3-5.jpeg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Empathy,-,Word,From,Metal,Blocks,-,Concept,Sepia,Tone&#8221; show_bottom_space=&#8221;off&#8221; force_fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; align_tablet=&#8221;center&#8221; align_phone=&#8221;&#8221; align_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.14.4&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;-40px|||||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|||||&#8221; animation=&#8221;off&#8221; sticky=&#8221;on&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text disabled_on=&#8221;off|off|&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.14.4&#8243; text_font=&#8221;PT Serif||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#818178&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;24&#8243; text_line_height=&#8221;1.4em&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;10.8%|10%||10%||&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;0.7%|10%||10%||&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>A leader who builds a culture of compassions allows everyone to leave the conversation with their dignity, integrity, and wellbeing intact.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.14.4&#8243; text_font=&#8221;PT Sans|on|||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#888888&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;12&#8243; text_letter_spacing=&#8221;2px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;20px||20%|&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;20px|||&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>CAROLYN O.

This is an important step to building a culture of integrity. Establishing yourself as a leader who keeps their word is imperative to building a team that can rely on you to do what\u2019s right. Even when they may not agree with you, they\u2019ll trust you, support you and be an ambassador for your decisions. This work takes intentional, consistent, and frequent communication so that you create an environment where people feel comfortable to be open and honest to respectfully speak freely without fear of retaliation. The Takeaway: Build a culture of integrity, by modeling behavior that establishes you as a person who can be relied upon to do what\u2019s right and be open to feedback.<\/p>\n<h4>Build a Culture of Accountability<\/h4>\n<p>You\u2019re an expert in your field of work and are used to doing things on your own. But leadership requires a different mindset, even if you\u2019re leading a team of one. According to the New York Times bestseller, The Oz Principle written by authors Roger Connors, Tom Smith, and Craig Hickman, accountability is the \u201cpersonal choice to rise above one\u2019s circumstances and demonstrate the ownership necessary for achieving desired results\u201d. So, as a leader how do you build a culture of accountability within your organization? One way is to learn to delegate.<\/p>\n<p>Learning to delegate is one of the hardest transitions for leaders, especially if you\u2019re going from leading none to some. To build a culture of accountability, first openly demonstrate self-accountability. Then, trust that, given clear direction, your team will deliver quality results. It\u2019s important for you to be the example. Make sure people see you start what you finish, produce professional high-quality results, and take ownership to quickly recover from mistakes. The Takeaway: Set the tone for accountability, demonstrate it and convey your expectation for the same.<\/p>\n<h4>Your leadership can literally change someone\u2019s life<\/h4>\n<p>The power of your leadership is huge. From impacting someone\u2019s livelihood to impacting the type of leader they may one day become, the way you decide to lead can literally change someone\u2019s life. That\u2019s why your leadership legacy matters.<\/p>\n<p>Remember the words you wrote down earlier? Use them to level up. Create statements of intention to clarify the intentional impact you want your leadership to have on people. Finally, embrace what you value, practice what you intend, and grow a leadership legacy you can be proud of.
