A NEW LEVEL OF LEADERSHIP REQUIRES

A NEW APPROACH TO LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

 

You take your role as a leader seriously, striving to be the best leader you can be and investing your time and energy into learning new things that will help you do that.

 

But the truth is, you don’t need to constantly be filling in gaps in your skill set, reading every new business book out there, or listening to a leadership podcast episode every day in order to advance your leadership capability.

​

Up to this point, you’ve been successful by doing more, working harder, and learning new things. 

 

But as you climb higher in your organization and take on new levels of leadership, you no longer succeed through what you are doing. You succeed through HOW you are leading.

 

Now, being the authentic and effective leader you want to be is no longer about what you are doing. Now, it’s about WHO YOU ARE BEING... because your team is always observing and taking their cues from your actions, not just from what you are saying to them.

​

In a world where you succeed through your people, the single most important thing you can do as a leader is role model the culture you are trying to create.

​

Role modelling the culture this means that you have to be willing to face your own hard truths and tackle your own biases and blind spots. And I’m not just talking about the big ones that you discovered in your last leadership assessment. I’m talking about the ones that show up in the seemingly small moments that hold you back from leading authentically and effectively each day.

 

The voice that compels you to send just one more email when you know you need the sleep.

 

The urge that drives you to “just do it yourself” instead of delegating a new project you know you should pass on.

 

The thing that leaves you going to bed each night feeling like you didn’t do anything as well as you wish you could have.

 

These seemingly small moments add up, and they are much more visible to your team than you might realize. 

​

And while these patterns showing up in our lives can feel common or inevitable, there are often actually deep-rooted desires, fears, and motivations that drive us to do these things – and they are deeply personal.

​

The voice. The urge. The thing.

 

The exact behavior that may have helped you be successful in your career in the past may be the same behavior that is holding you back from being the leader you want to be now.   

 

The good news? You can change the voice. You can resist the urge. You can shift the thing.

 

When you can create awareness and clarity around these deeply personal patterns, you CAN change them.

 

Shifting those seemingly small moments allows you to be the leader you know you can be.

To show up authentically and to lead effectively.

To role model the culture you want to create for your team.
