Is It Time For Your
Leadership Booster Shot?

By Chris Waugh

Our county Emergency Preparedness Planner was delivering a presentation at our chamber of commerce meeting about the immunization program and the upcoming flu shot schedule.

“A booster shot gives your body a renewed capability to recognize and respond appropriately to a threat or disease,” she explained. In other words, we need to be reminded to react efficiently and effectively.

Leadership training is like a booster shot. We all know more than we use in terms of appropriate communication, teamwork, supervision or conflict resolution. The knowledge we have is buried under a mass of other stuff we have think about. So, our responses become knee-jerk.

It helps to be reminded of other perspectives, other applications and other responses. We need that for our leadership development.

Give yourself a booster shot frequently! Maybe it’s time to pull a book off the shelf – the one on working with other personalities or whatever – and read it. Or, spend five minutes a day reading an article that will help you be more effective. Or, listen to professional development tapes on your commute to work. Or, take a workshop. Keep learning. Keep growing. Keep boosting yourself. Keep boosting your staff.
