BUSINESS EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES

Susan Rozzi’s candid thoughts on teams and leadership…

Last month in?What Got You Here,?I shared that most good leaders succeed despite their various flaws. Yet, excellent behavioral competency, not technical skill, is what most often separates great leaders from good leaders. What’s a leader to do when they discover a place that hinders their ability to be a great leader and want to change?

As we wind down the year and start thinking about 2023, I thought I’d offer you some suggestions.

• Limit your scope.?Focus on one or two vital issues that could be most impactful for growth in your current role.
• Establish your “To Stop” list. Sometimes, correcting the behavior does not require polished skills, elaborate training, arduous practice, or supernatural creativity. All that’s required is the faint imagination to stop doing what you’ve done in the past – in effect, to do nothing at all. Example, “I am going to stop being dissatisfied when things aren’t done EXACTLY how I would do them.”
• Start apologizing.?Start with these three words: “I am sorry.” Don’t explain it. Don’t complicate it. Don’t qualify it.
• Finish with telling what you are going to do about it.?Define what you are going to do if you forget “to stop”. Example, “I am sorry for interrupting you. Please continue. I will wait for you to finish.”
• Follow Up.?Follow-up is how we acknowledge to ourselves and others that getting better is an ongoing process. Simply ask the question, “Am I getting better at … ?” This makes us aware of our progress. It gives us the momentum, even the courage, to go beyond understanding what we need to do to change and actually do it. Engaging in the follow-up process allows us to see that we really are changing.
• Get a coach.?If your leader is not supporting your growth, then find someone who will. You are worth it!

Great leaders are always learning,

Susan
