“This is too personal” & other myths that hold leaders back from getting results…
I was brought up in the era of business where leaders were told:
“Check your personal life at the door.”
“Remember this is business, it’s not personal.”
“This is about the numbers and results.”
While there is value in:
-Focusing on results
-Being objective in making decisions
Leaders who still operate with this impersonal “command & control” leadership style are finding themselves frustrated and are struggling to remain effective in engaging today’s workplace.
As leaders today, we’re faced with much greater business complexity like the need to:
-Innovate & adapt quickly
-Do more with less to succeed in a global marketplace
-Lead a changing workforce comprised of almost 40% millennials
This complexity requires us to adapt WHO WE ARE and HOW WE LEAD.
That means asking questions deeper questions of ourselves as leaders. READ HERE to explore a few self-discovery questions…
Answering these questions & growing as a leader gets REALLY personal.
What will you choose? Are you willing to do the challenging & ‘personal’ work of growing your leadership?
