Re-leading: Fixing Broken Organizations

Re-leading involves stepping into a leadership role in an existing organization or context where things are broken or struggling. It requires a discerning eye to see what is broken and the ability to understand what it takes to fix it. Re-leaders have the skill of logical progression of thought, seeing the next steps and potential outcomes. They see how different departments or areas of the organization are connected and can strategize accordingly. They also possess patience and perseverance to navigate and bring about change in complex and sometimes challenging situations. They focus on building trust, engaging in effective communication, and creating a new culture by challenging and changing the way people think and behave. Re-leaders also have a deep understanding of the original purpose and calling of the organization, and they work to maintain and progress that vision. While re-leading can be a challenging endeavor, it is a valuable calling for those who are passionate about transforming broken organizations into thriving and impactful ones.
