5 for Leadership is a collection of weekly posts focused on the topic of leadership. This week there are posts covering leadership gratitude, first-time leaders, knowing when your leadership time is up, an interview with Max Lucado, and what millennial women think of leadership sacrifice. There is plenty to ponder.

“As an individual contributor, your focus is on doing the work, getting projects done, and meeting deadlines.

“Leadership is temporary. Our responsibility is to steward it well while we have it.

Brian takes some points from a recent USA Today piece on Peyton Manning and makes some great leadership applications.
What Is Leading With Gratitude?
“Each of us has many things to be grateful for in our imperfect personal and professional lives. Although it may be easier to look at what is not working, it is more empowering for leaders to identify what we are thankful for. As Thanksgiving approaches for many of us, let’s explore ways to show our gratitude.” Terri Klass shares 10 great ways to show leadership gratitude on her blog Terri Klass Consulting.
There are the 5 for your Thanksgiving week. Take some time to truly reflect on your leadership journey this week–and give thanks!
