Are there aspects of your leadership that you could improve? Good leaders know that we all can.
Yet, amidst the countless demands on your time, it is sometimes hard for a leader to make the time for their own development. There is no doubt that managers and executives share a unique and often burdensome role. The constant giving takes its toll and slowly leaders lose touch with the leader they once wanted to be. Are you:
-
Getting home later and starting work earlier, yet still have more to do.
-
Finding less time for the things you truly enjoy.
-
Disconnecting from friends and family.
-
Not smiling and laughing as much as you used to.
Harvard management author Richard Boyatzis describes how many leaders fall into what is known as the sacrifice syndrome and the chilling reality that allowing yourself to start on such a slippery slope has a harmful impact on both you and your staff.
The good news is that there is hope. You can get off the treadmill of mediocrity and disillusionment. Yet, if such efforts are to be sustained, it takes far more than your traditional rest and relaxation. You need to rediscover the leader in you and let the authenticity that is so critical to leadership effectiveness, start shining through your day-to-day behaviours.
