I recently commented on a CEO's post about leadership. I think it's something that might fit into ANY person's life, not just leaders. Maybe you can glean something from it, too. I pray so.
All of the things you mentioned in your post are about transparency. Leaders need to be transparent. When your employees see you succeed and fail they also see how you react to these events in your life. If they see you succeed and become proud, what do they learn about your character? If they see you succeed and give credit to where credit is due (God, employees, other helpers) then they call you a great leader!
Failing can work the same way. When we fail as leaders we need to admit when it was our fault and not place the blame on everyone else. A great leader takes the proverbial bull by the horns and does what’s right, not what’s best for themselves. Employees see that and realize you have integrity and character that they want to imitate. By sharing your failures and your successes with those you lead you bring transparency into the picture. They should be able to see God right through you.
So, been transparent lately? Try it. It doesn't hurt and it may help whatever situation you're in right now. Leaning on God in the ups and downs of life is what should be seen in your life. So lean and then look. Can people see God in you?
