This month the EOD team challenges you to rethink the word leadership.
At EOD, we believe that everyone is in a position of leadership. We define leadership as our ability to build what is called Informal Authority. Informal authority is not a title or position of power entrusted to us. It is based on a set of behaviors, no matter our title or position, that enable us to work effectively with people in order to not only get our work done, but to “play to win,” meaning to build success and harmony in our workplace.
The five Informal Authority Behaviors are (in no certain order):
We don’t always have control over everything that comes our way at work. But we do have control over our own behaviors. And by modeling these five behaviors, we will be more effective in our own career path and we will create informal authority.
Want to enhance your leadership abilities? We have two leadership offerings this month. First, take a quick bite of knowledge with us at our Hungry Minds Café and learn how to lead through coaching and mediating. Also, one of our most popular leadership facilitations will be offered as our Course of the Month- 6 Critical Practices for Leading a Team. Learn more and register below.
