As this article says, being a leader, and staying there, is tough, and it’s getting tougher.
The author’s tips for surviving as a leader include:
- Know yourself
- Play to your strengths, and
- Avoid your derailers (that is, the behaviours that take you off-track and jeopardise your success)
That’s why it’s absolutely critical for all leaders, whether they’re just starting to lead a team, or they’re leading a big corporation, to use 360 Degree Feedback and coaching to get a really clear picture of their strengths and weaknesses, and how other people see them.
