Knowing Your Leadership DNA
Truly knowing yourself as a leader is the starting point for effective and sustained leadership, continual growth and reaching your potential.
Problem:
When leaders do not know themselves—truly understand—what they bring to their team or organization as leaders, they set themselves up for a wide range of leadership challenges that reduce their effectiveness and limit their growth and development.
Some Common Challenges:
- No clear reference point to use as a foundation for adjustments and growth
- Misalignment between how they see themselves and how others see them
- Perceived as inauthentic leaders
- Asking for and reflecting on feedback
Navigating Transition Points
Transitioning into new leadership roles require skillful navigation. Highly effective leaders understand that transitioning into new leadership roles—at any level—requires thoughtful planning and preparation.
Problem:
Transition points are critical points in time for leaders. Leaders at all levels can often neglect to adequately prepare for this critical leadership moment, setting themselves up for unintended challenges as they start new roles. When leaders struggle from the start, it can be difficult for them to recover and the organization can lose confidence in their leadership abilities.
Some Common Challenges:
- Not developing a transition plan
- Shifting from expert or “doer” to leader
- Driving an agenda that’s misaligned with organizational priorities
- Trying to change too much too fast
Leading Near the Top
Leading near the top requires a different mindset, a mindset that goes beyond your own team or specific function. As leaders reach senior levels, they need to embrace and develop a broader organizational mindset that enables them to have positive influence throughout the organization.
Problem:
Leaders that are leading near the top of the organization often find themselves out of their comfort zone and overwhelmed as they lead in an environment and at a level, which requires a shift in thinking and mindset. They often struggle to build awareness and understanding of the “Big Picture” and have difficulty leading at the intersection of strategy and execution with competing time horizons.
Some Common Challenges:
- Developing “Big Picture” awareness and understanding
- Leading other leaders
- Influencing across the organization
- Operating in both current and future time horizons
- Building a learning organization
- Developing other leaders
Overcoming Stall Points
Leaders that continuously focus on their own development and improvement recognize when they are not performing at their best and take action—a Leadership Reset—to improve performance.
Problem:
For various reasons, sometimes leaders experience a, “Stall Point”, a loss of impact or effectiveness. If unaddressed, “Stall Points” can hold leaders back and have a detrimental effect on their team and the organization.
Some Common Challenges:
- Emotional Intelligence
- Delegation
- Time Management
- Burnout and Overwhelm
- Self Care and Resilience
- Communication (Up, Across, Down)
