S13E12 - A Role Model?
Manage episode 493634104 series 3397616
A role model is someone who is worthy of imitation — like your beloved teacher or a well-behaved celebrity. Just as a model is something that represents an inspirational ideal, a role model is someone who inspires others to imitate his or her good behavior.
Good role models typically exhibit the following personality traits or qualities: self-awareness, positivity, humility, empathy, professionalism, and integrity.
1. Ability to Overcome Adversity- Having a positive role model can be especially crucial when you experience adversity. During periods of difficulty, having a role model who has experienced similar situations can be helpful.
2. Desire to Help Others - A good role model has a desire to help others succeed in life. Building a sense of community uplifts others and creates onramps to success for generations to follow.
3. Life Experience - Your life experiences shape your perspective of the world and critical issues. Role models should encourage you to consider different perspectives and provide guidance. Whether in business, politics or academia, finding a mentor can make a big difference.
4. Ability to Inspire - Being able to inspire people to action is a great quality to look for in a role model. Inspirational leaders encourage positive behavior and appeal to people’s desire to have a positive impact on their communities.
5. Emotional Intelligence - Finding positive ways to express your emotions can help you succeed. A good role model should have emotional intelligence and be able to navigate challenging situations without resorting to negative behavior. This includes having self-awareness, empathy, an understanding of social cues and the ability to actively listen.
6. Authenticity- Being a good role model requires authenticity and transparency. It is important for leaders to be genuine with the people who follow them because it forms the basis of trust.
