“It is your actions, not your title, that make

you a leader.” @HeatherEColeman

What can leaders do to create a culture of

leadership?

Employers:

Your “Open-Door Policy” should mean employees are confident

walking in and empowered walking out.

How are you creating a culture of autonomy, trust and

empowerment?

What can employees do to lead in their

workplace – and career?

Employees, ask yourself this question:

Are you offering solutions to problems – or just talking about

the problems?

How are you leading in your position and supporting the leadership?

There is a difference between listening and

just waiting to talk.
