Wouldn’t it be great if, on a daily basis, you felt like a bold, energized, purpose-driven leader? If you navigated organizational politics with ease? If you inspired people to do the best work of their lives?
Instead, you may be struggling with things many leaders face:
Overwhelm, fire drills, and no space to think creatively
Re-orgs, layoffs, and endless pivots in company strategy
Weak alliances or competition with cross-functional partners
Organization-wide underestimation of your team and function’s capabilities
Direct reports who are order-takers rather than strategic influencers
Inconsistent accountability in the colleagues on whom you rely
A leadership team that lacks cohesion
How, then, do you shift the dynamic?
The answer: Take a more intentional approach to leadership.
