Strong leadership is contagious, but are you creating the environment for your team to shine?
The Challenge: Many executives haven't critically assessed their own leadership style. This can create blind spots that hinder leadership development across the whole organization.
Empower Growth Through Self-Reflection:
Here's a powerful self-assessment exercise for executives to identify areas for development, both for themselves and their teams:
Rate yourself on a scale of 1 (low) to 10 (high) in the following areas:
Personal Performance: Assess your ability to translate vision into actionable goals and hold yourself accountable for achieving them.
Leading Performers: Evaluate your effectiveness in delegating tasks that challenge and develop your team's skills while providing the support they need to excel.
Extend the Reflection to Your Team:
Now, use these same two categories ("Personal Performance" and "Leading Performers") to assess each member of your leadership team. Encourage open and honest conversations during this process.
Building a Leadership Development Plan:
By reflecting on your strengths and weaknesses - both individually and within your leadership team - you can create a targeted development plan. This plan should include resources and initiatives to address identified gaps.
Take Action:
Schedule time for self-reflection.
Lead open discussions with your leadership team using the self-assessment categories.
Develop a leadership development plan tailored to your team's needs.
Seek out leadership development resources for yourself and your team.
Together, let's build a community of leaders committed to elevating their teams.
