PHIL KEIL, from page 1
map out a plan on how to improve. Th ere are a number of leadership styles and there is not a perfect one for every situation. I’m not talking about styles, though. I’m speaking of who you are at your core. Th at is something that is much harder to change, but it can be done. Start with qualities like trust, integrity, commitment, and empathy. Th en, look at skill sets that a ff ect environmental or behavioral things like communication, decision-making, inspiration, creativity, or accountability. My final challenge to you is this: Elevate your thoughts and actions. Take the time to look inwardly and examine who you are and why you do what you do. With rare exceptions, everyone comes to work every day striving for success. Everyone wants to feel fulfilled and desires professional satisfaction. Let’s challenge ourselves to buck the precepts of how things have always been done. We are the leaders now and it’s up to us to define how we’d like to lead so that we can create a legacy where the industry, and more importantly the people within it, can serve at the highest level.
