Starting your day by thinking about what kind of leader you want to be can make you more effective at work, a new study finds.<\/p>\n


\n <\/section>\n

“It’s as simple as taking a few moments in the morning while you’re drinking your coffee to reflect on who you want to be as a leader,” said Remy Jennings, a doctoral student in the University of Florida’s Warrington College of Business, who authored the study in the journal Personnel Psychology<\/i> with UF management professor Klodiana Lanaj.<\/p>\n

When study participants took that step, they were more likely to report helping co-workers and providing strategic vision than on days they didn’t do the morning reflection. They also felt more leaderlike on those days, perceiving more power and influence in the office.<\/p>\n

The effects also extended to aspiring leaders.<\/p>\n

“Leadership is really challenging, so a lot of people are hesitant to tackle leadership roles or assignments,” Lanaj said. “Reflecting a few minutes in the morning really makes a difference.”<\/p>\n

And unlike being given extra responsibility or leading a team project, a morning reflection is under the employee’s control.<\/p>\n

“They’re not dependent on their organization to provide formal opportunities. They don’t have to wait until they have that title that says they’re a leader to take on leadership in their work,” Jennings said.<\/p>\n
