Most people find themselves in a leadership position because they were good at a technical job and received a promotion. Few enter a leadership role with the knowledge and skills they need to be a great leader.
Leadership is often described as a ‘soft skill’ yet it is the most challenging role we will ever have and the role we are least prepared for (after parenting)!
To be a good leader, you need to be self-aware, understand your emotions and how they are triggered, know your leadership style, the culture you want to create, how to seamlessly integrate change, handle difficult conversations with employees, executive teams and boards and know how to follow.
It’s a daunting list and one that needs continuous work and practice. A leadership coach can help you navigate all these areas and help you become the best leader you can be. We will make you work, challenge your beliefs, make you think outside the box and support you as you try new tactics. You will also feel more empowered, get better results from your teams and be happier in your role.
