Why I'm Passionate About Leadr

At Leadr, we all have a story of a poor management experience that led to our passion for people development and desire to work at Leadr. We call these our Nigel stories.

Nigel is a fictitious character we’ve worked with or for in the past with unhealthy leadership tendencies. We all have those tendencies within ourselves, and they can emerge unintentionally, impacting those around us. 

We are all Nigels, or know a Nigel, and Nigel is why Leadr exists. Here’s Kalle’s Nigel story. What's yours?

Nigel started serving in leadership roles at an early age. In fact, Nigel can rarely recall being a normal student in her church youth group or being a regular attendee to a church small group. Eventually, she moved on to leading volunteer teams of people that were much older and experienced than her, as well as leading her department team, etc. By no means was Nigel qualified for these roles, leadership-wise, or experience-wise, but she was very responsible and good at her job, so naturally she was put into these roles. 

Nigel wasn’t necessarily a bad leader, she just wasn’t the leader that challenged others to go to the next level; she was simply efficient at creating teams. 

Nigel was me. 

We’ve all had this kind of leader in our lives. The kind that are good team members, but don’t invest or challenge the teams that they lead. This gap actually makes them a bad leader. 

I chose a career at  Leadr because I believe that leaders have the opportunity to make a difference in a person’s life. A life-altering difference that changes the trajectory of their lives and their families. As much as we want bad leaders to become healthy and better, I also want average leaders to become great leaders and make a difference in people’s lives so that they can then be replicated.
