1 Embrace Change

In your executive career, change is as inevitable as it is challenging. To stay relevant and effective, you must embrace change rather than resist it. This means being proactive in learning new skills, adapting to new technologies, and accepting that the strategies that worked yesterday might not work tomorrow. By fostering a culture of continuous improvement and flexibility within your team, you'll set the stage for sustained success and resilience in the face of change.

The real key here is being a continuous learner. Every week you should have a goal of something new that you’re going to learn whether it is expanding an existing skill or acquiring a new one. And don’t fall into the trap of only expanding existing skills. Very often over a career, a skill that seems very important in one decade becomes unimportant or unnecessary in another.

2 Decision Making

As an executive, you're the decision-maker, and with that comes the pressure to make the right call every time. However, perfection isn't realistic. What you can do is develop a structured decision-making process that includes gathering relevant information, considering multiple perspectives, evaluating the risks and benefits, and then making a confident choice. Remember, decisiveness coupled with accountability can turn even missteps into valuable learning experiences.

Procrastination in companies is so damaging and of course is never measured, those who hold people back are never called out. Trying something new or different, allowing your teams to experiment without criticism, leaders are there to inspire to encourage not to micromanage. You will always know more than you did before you ran an experiment or a POC, continuous learning is mandatory for organisations and their people if they want to stay relevant.

It is helpful to set a timeline for a decision. In some organizations, over analysis will lead to paralysis. Putting a marker on a calendar is often useful to combat this. Once you see that Decision Day is set, start working out a plan that will deliver a decision on time. Don’t be forgiving of yourself or others — push yourselves to make a decision by the date you commit. Ultimately, picking even an imperfect decision is better than not choosing one at all. Kodak, a company that used to be so central to photography and imaging, pushed the decision of when to focus on digital image technology far into the future because it didn’t want to hurt its film business. The market ended up making the decision for them.

3 Team Dynamics

The dynamics within your team can make or break your executive tenure. It's essential to understand each team member's strengths, weaknesses, and motivations. Encourage open communication and foster a sense of shared purpose. Conflict is natural, but how you handle it can either lead to innovation and stronger bonds or to dysfunction and low morale. Strive for an environment where everyone feels valued and heard.

4 Emotional Intelligence

Emotional intelligence (EI) is your ability to recognize and manage your emotions, as well as those of others. In your executive role, high EI can lead to better team management, improved communication, and more effective conflict resolution. Work on developing empathy and self-awareness. These skills will help you navigate the interpersonal aspects of leadership with finesse and can be the difference between a good and a great leader.

5 Strategic Thinking

Strategic thinking involves looking at the bigger picture and planning for the long term. As an executive, you need to anticipate future trends and challenges, aligning your team's efforts with the company's goals. This requires a balance between day-to-day operations and long-term strategic planning. By regularly setting aside time to reflect on your strategy and adjust as necessary, you can ensure that your team remains on the path to success.

6 Work-Life Balance

Maintaining work-life balance is critical for your well-being and effectiveness as an executive. It's easy to let work consume all your time, but this can lead to burnout and decreased productivity. Set boundaries for yourself and respect your off-time. Encourage your team to do the same by leading by example. A balanced team is a happy, healthy, and more productive one.
