Find a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed and, just for a few minutes, think about how you would describe your leadership style. Dig deeper... ask yourself what type of leader do want to be? Where do I want to take my team and how am I going to get them there? Are you really able to recognise specific strengths and weaknesses? Do you really know yourself as well as you thought?
First and foremost you have to have a clear idea of who you want to be as a leader. What do you want to be known for? What legacy do you wish to leave? Can you identify the leadership skills you lack? Are you really clear about what type of leader your team – and indeed the whole organisation – needs?
