      <image:title>Newsletter - Vol 1. Leadership Lessons from Community Organizing</image:title>
      <image:caption>Organizing Is "Organizing is providing people with an opportunity to become aware of their own capabilities and potential." — Fred Ross Sr. I could interchange organizing, leadership, and managing in this quote and it would still capture the essence of my philosophy on leadership development. If a manager is committed to leadership development, they own that it is their responsibility to hold a vision for their team member's potential that may live beyond that team member's own current imagination. It’s definitely not about imposing that vision. It’s about inviting them into seeing it for themselves. This requires creating conditions where someone can step into their own capabilities, not just meet your expectations of them. It can be challenging to navigate the balance between providing guidance and vision and supporting autonomy. We want our team members to define and pursue their own growth and vision for themselves. But sometimes circumstances, experience, and fear can limit someone’s ability to dream big for themselves.  So what does this look like in practice? Imagine your new team member is a solid task-master– they complete their assignments well and on time and they are great at following your direction. But you see they have the capacity to develop the plan and vision for their work. They are ready to start providing their own direction, and you recognize their potential to deepen their strategic thinking and eventually lead projects from start to finish.</image:caption>
