Here's a couple of simple but 'trust me' not well understood points about LEARNING, LEADERSHIP & RELATIONSHIPS:
- If you are (which we should discuss :) an effective, solid, seasoned manager/leader - likely you still struggle at least a little bit with your most significant leadership issue: ‘your horizontal & vertical relationships’. *For Execs/Senior Leaders, this is the #1 issue affecting not just YOU and your success, but all those down below that you lead (left dealing with the impact of your ineffective relations)!
- The #2 barrier to real behavioral change & growth in LEADERS is this: ‘90% of all you ever read, hear or otherwise sense about Leadership is about the ‘what’. Learning & change happens so rarely in leaders because there is no focus on the ‘how’. We all have heard all the great perspectives of ‘what’ a leader or leadership is…………. ‘How’ do we create & develop the ‘what’ – what a leader is supposed to be?
These two dynamics are your keys to growing you & your success as a senior leader. They are also the keys for those leaders you are supposed to be growing...
My new book, out very soon, focuses heavily on the first issue above and the 'waste' involved; while my other four books focus on the second.
Talk soon!
