NEW environments require specific preparation
Past success is no guarantee
- Executive roles come with new, highly visible, often unfamiliar responsibilities
- Strengths propelling leaders in years past may not serve them in the future
- Established behaviors get in the way of new, critical new skills
Leading while learning, a challenging balance
- Leaders face an incomplete understanding of people, situations and responsibilities
- Mastering assertiveness and vulnerability present a difficulty in the early days and have long-term implications
Protect or progress, the daring decision
- Rising leaders are aware of inner barriers holding them back
- Deciding to embrace the barrier and progress versus rationalising it and protect, is elemental and impacts the leader, team and business
- New environments magnify barriers, specific preparation is essential
