Episode 7: “Take Control of Your Boundaries”
What are boundaries?
Why is it important for leaders to have boundaries?
Boundaries define us.
When you take responsibility for your life, your life opens up to new options and choices.
What is at stake if no boundaries exist?
Boundaries help us know how to carry them (burdens) in a way that is helpful to others, but not debilitating to us.
What are some boundaries every leader should have in place?
REFLECTION QUESTIONS:
How do you know which boundaries are useful or necessary?
Define boundaries that are going to:
That’s what people who follow you are expecting you to do. They expect you to make correct directional decisions and make their lives better.
QUESTION: Can someone determine appropriate boundaries alone?
ANSWER: No, you can’t.
As leaders, we have to remember that we don’t do anything alone. That’s what leadership is. It’s doing life with other people.
REFLECTION QUESTION: Who in your life is helping you find the leadership boundaries?
When you don’t have boundaries you continually push people away.
If you don’t say “no” to the good, how will you know when the great comes along?
“Busy” is not a badge of honor. The last thing that your people want to hear when they come to you, as their leader, is that you are too busy to help them fix their own problems.
Leaders fix problems, but more importantly, “leaders are dealers in hope”. - Benjamin Disraeli
REFLECTION QUESTION: Are you a dealer in hope?
MO’s Final Thoughts:
Do your best to create boundaries so that your people know what you stand for and how they can reach out to you as a leader to make their lives better.
