My absolute biggest struggle is learning to slow down. My assignments in the military were almost all very fast paced, with a sense of urgency. 

From the time I wake up, till the time I go to sleep, there is an action that must be completed, initiated or reviewed. 

When there is not, I often become worried I am missing something and begin to review areas or things so what can be updated, or fixed. It's an obsessive pattern, but it has helped me be successful in my career, it most likely can be pinned to a few pinnacles points in my career that were embedded by a somebody, or a situation that left life long impressions. Some of them great, some of them terrible. 

While those have shaped me to a great extent, I still learn today and regularly have to check myself. 

Do I lead based off how I was lead through out my career and those impressions?

or 

Do I lead based off how the people I lead desire to be led? 

This is a trick question in today's environment. Some will say to lead properly  you lead based off the way the people are most receptive and desire. 

I would recommend, that you lead this way: 

A. Have you been here before? Did you get the desire effect? Did you lose people? Address the Why's. Correct and execute

B. New Territory? Do you know anyone that has been here before? Reach out. They most likely can offer advice. Even bad advice can be good advice.

C. This is a hard one and usually requires someone else in your life to check your 9 (ego) and you be open to it).  Are you leading for glory, or are you leading in love. 

You can lead in a way that people are not always receptive if you can communicate and then facilitate. 

There were lots of times I was not open to how things were being led, or decisions being made, but after the arrival and completion, I learned this way actually turned out for better (there were just as many times it turned into a disaster 🤣 ..lesson still learned)

Be open, Ask open ended questions, and Go Lead!
