“Why am I as I am? To understand that of any person, his whole life, from birth must be reviewed. All of our experiences fuse into our personality. Everything that ever happened to us is an ingredient.” – Malcolm X
How can you map out your personal ingredients and key experiences to better understand your #leadership journey?
In this video, I reflect on the lessons of #leadershipeffectiveness taught to us by Malcolm X. Through his life his skillset of engaging and inspiring others was seen as both a gift and a threat. Despite this, he recognized he had to negotiate with a range of different people to achieve his overall goal.
This #BlackHistoryMonth, I ask you to take some time to reflect on which leaders you consider effective. Ask yourself, “When others think of leadership effectiveness, does my name come to mind?”
