Not the leader you wanted?

Perhaps this isn't your leader.
It might be the time to become the leader you need.

If you’re unhappy with the leadership you’re currently under, it might be the time to ask yourself these three questions:

  • Are you doing enough personally?
  • How might you take more responsibility?
  • How might you embrace and show leadership?

If you’d like to see change in the world
It’s time you take the initiative to lead the change you seek.

You don’t need to be elected to lead.
You don’t need to be asked to lead.
You just need a little courage.

Leading a cause or organisation that people care about.

Doing so with,
Conviction,
Audacity,
Bravery,
Vulnerability,
Willing to learn & develop your leadership skills further.

Start with one goal.
Making one change happen, is still an achievement.

Build trust.
The others will follow.

Change happens at the speed of trust.
Stephen M.R. Covey


Note: this is a rewrite of an article I wrote more than five years ago. Seemed like a good time to revisit.

Hi! I’m Michael

I’m an architect and coach, helping the professional culture of the architecture profession. I believe the best way to do this is support leadership development.

I’ve worked in architecture for almost 30 years, and ran my own practice for 14 years. I understand architectural practice from the inside out. Fun Fact: my NSW architect’s registration is #10 007 and I have a license to skill.

I help practices work on their leadership team and strategies. Supporting practices to become more open, fluid, and adaptable. Realising the collective energy, passion, and capabilities of their people.

Interested in hearing I can help? Let’s chat about the leadership development of you or your team.
