THE 5X5 CHECKLIST FOR LEADERS
Carmen López Hernández
CEO at Carmen López | LEADERSHIP & STRESS EXPERT: Do you want to succeed as a leader? Do you need to reduce your stress?| PSYCHOLOGIST | Executive Psychologist | Human Resources Consultant?? German-English-Spanish.
It’s very difficult to be a leader. If you are one of them, you know that. There are hundreds of urgent things you have to care about every day, so it is very easy to lose sight of the important stuff.
I help leaders focus on that important stuff so they and their teams can perform at their best. They achieve clarity and purpose while reducing their stress levels. Every case is different, and my sessions with them are tailor-made, but some points are helpful for all kinds of leaders.
Here you have my list with those points. I call it the 5x5 Checklist For Leaders.
This is how to use it:
The best thing about the list is that you don’t have to work on all points at the same time. Just working on one point will make a huge difference in your leadership. Share it if you find it useful.
