“For me, with leadership, one of the big things is accountability… not just being someone that’s directing people, but being accountable.”
— Terrance Lee
Terrance Lee, AKA The Introvert Leader, had always avoided taking on leadership roles — until he had to learn the skills by necessity.
Terrance’s shift to leadership happened after college, while he was being mentored on the F16 program at Lockheed Martin.
When he had been there for just a few months, his mentor put in his two-week notice. Terrance was told that he was going to fill his mentor’s shoes at a big presentation — and speak to a group of experienced engineers and pilots.
Terrance nailed it.... and it gave him a giant confidence boost.
Since then, Terrance has taken on many leadership and management roles as an introvert, with incredible results.
Terrance believes that there are 3 key traits that make a good leader.
You must have the ability to own up to your missteps and model that type of behaviour for your team. “There are times where, as a leader, you make a mistake. You may not always get it right,” Terrance says. Being accountable to your team builds trust and raises morale.
