I knew I'd find a helpful article somewhere to kick off 2023!
This one addresses self-awareness in a leader, what to look for when reviewing your own actions, and how you can use that to become a better leader. HOA board members and advisory committee members are leaders in their community (whether they believe it or not or want to be one), and ultimately, the underlying issue in half of the stuff on this website is relationships. It's easy to say all HOA board members are wanna-be Nazis or the average HOA homeowner is a spoiled bobblehead, but if we're going to find a way to get along, all of us need to take a hard look at ourselves and see if we're doing or have done something to muddy the waters to the point the only way it gets resolves is be throwing hands in court. Sometimes, that IS necessary, but if we can reduce the number of conflicts to where this is rare, that would be a great start.
Like most publications, Forbes' website has a limited number of articles you can read for free, so keep that in mind if you've read their stuff before and click on this one. Enjoy!
