As
a leader, you need to be able to tell your team what needs to get done and know
they’ve got it handled, right? You have more important things to focus on than
micromanaging your team, don’t you? So how do you keep your team informed AND
inspired?
When
I asked myself these questions, I discovered something that I just couldn’t keep
to myself.
While
it was clear that the Command model of leadership was ineffective on its own,
the directness of the Command model can be extremely effective. Similarly,
trying to influence my team members by becoming their friends slowed down
production, yet knowing what was important to my team members helped me inspire
them effectively.
The
more I reflected on what I’d experienced in leadership, the clearer the answer
became.The most effective way to lead a team is through Comfluential™
Leadership, a harmonious blend of Command and Influence that delivers the best
of both worlds:
- Command
is the masculine side of leadership, organized, focused, and taking action.
- Influence
is the feminine side of leadership, engaging with your team as people, learning
what inspires them, and connecting with them about what really matters in their
lives.
The
Comfluential™ model of leadership is all about inclusion, engagement, and
fostering connection with your team. Creating a collaborative environment where
everyone is able to work in their genius zone, doing what they love - all while

team?
