Challenge #48 - 2023 WFLDP Campaign

 

Challenge #48: Servant-Leaders accept and delegate responsibility.

• Journalize your responses (Seven Pillars of Servant Leadership, p. 165).
• If I want others to give me moral authority:
• Do I really trust others to be responsible, or do I only trust myself?
• Am I generally “in integrity” with myself?
• Do I feel like a victim because others ask me to do so much? If so, how can I set appropriate boundaries?
• In the next week, will I accept the challenge to delegate two tasks that I prefer to do myself?
• Dig deeper on the Portal (http://ow.ly/jVBj50M1zKB).

IGNITE: Building a Strong Team

To build a strong team, you must see someone else's strength as a complement to your weakness and not a threat to your position or authority. - Christine Caine, author/speaker

Informal Leadership is Always Available

Over a year ago, I dove into the Wildland Fire Leadership Development Program self-study leadership level courses on the Wildland Fire Learning Portal. These courses have been a huge help in guiding me along on my current path. One of the first lessons I came across was the idea of informal leadership (specifically, leading up). At first, I didn’t understand or even know how to lead informally. With more reading, a lot of trial and error, and bumping and locking horns along the way, I felt ready to try to lead up and share what I learned with others.
