The fact that you're asking is a sign that you care about your role and your team.  In case you need, here are some inspirational thoughts to reassure you’re doing a good job:

  • Receiving Positive Feedback? Yay!! This is a strong indicator that you're on the right track. Take the compliments and be proud!

  • Your Team is Growing! When your team members are acquiring new skills and taking on more responsibilities, it's a reflection of your effective leadership.

  • A Happy and Motivated Team is a sign of good leadership! High spirits often indicate a positive and supportive work environment.

  • Consistently Meeting or Exceeding Team Goals is a clear sign that you're leading effectively. Celebrate those achievements – do I see a happy dance going on?

  • Building Strong, Respectful Relationships with team members is a hallmark of good leadership. If your team feels comfortable approaching you with ideas and concerns, you have a trusting and open environment. There’s no better feeling! 

Questioning your effectiveness as a leader is a sign of a true leader. It shows that you care about your role and the people you lead. Leadership is not about being perfect; it's about being authentic, empathetic, and committed to continuous improvement.  

So, keep doing what you’re doing and give yourself a break now and then. You’re probably doing better than you think!
