What are you like when you are at your best?

As a leader, your impact goes beyond just steering the direction of a group or organization. You also shape the culture of the environment, both consciously and subconsciously. Culture is like the personality of a group, made up of values, beliefs, attitudes, and behaviours learned through interactions with others. The leader is the key influencer of this culture, and their personality can tell you a lot about the environment they lead.

Culture is a set of unspoken and unwritten rules for acting together, which can be experienced through different formats like spoken and unspoken languages, decision-making processes, daily activities, and reactions to crises. Your leadership can either build up or deteriorate the culture, which can be costly for everyone involved. Changing a culture is challenging, yet understanding your unconscious mind as a leader and its influence makes you more accountable for your success. A business coach can help you to access your blind spots, subconscious decisions and manners to achieve this understanding.

To become an objective observer of the culture in action, as a leader, you must also watch for people's emotions, which are significant indicators of values and belief systems. You must also be vigilant to identify any conflicts that may exist. Once you understand the current situation, you can plan for where you want the group or organization to be.

Transformational leaders understand the impact of their influence on the culture and work to improve their belief systems, values, behaviour, and attitudes. Working with a business coach can be an effective way for you as a leader to gain insight into subconscious decisions and behaviours that might be taking place in your leadership.
