The Facts: Leadership can be learned and mastered if you are willing to do the work!
The Challenge: The skills, capabilities and expectations required for you to successfully lead yourself, lead teams and lead at the organizational level escalate as you advance in your career.
The Watch Out: Business professionals invest significant time and energy learning the technical aspects of their role, building their expertise and then look to use this knowledge as rationale for their promotions into higher level positions. Unfortunately while this experience is incredibly valuable they are missing a big insight and wasting precious development time that can hold them back later in their careers.
The Mistake: Executives often leave their leadership development, a focus on their soft behavioral skills for later, believing they are initially less important and therefore a lower priority. Thinking you can focus on these skills/behaviors when you need them is a high risk choice to make. These soft skills take time to learn and affect the quality of your relationships today whether you are aware of this or not. Your soft skills, or emotional intelligence (EQ), have also been consistently proven to be more influential to your career success and income than the technical aspects of your role! Your ability to influence and lead other leaders requires a high level of emotional intelligence as well as what we call “personal power” not just expertise or position power.
This is especially true if you want to advance beyond being a subject matter expert (SME) or individual contributor in your career and ultimately lead teams of people or secure an organizational leadership role.
The Opportunity: Investing in leadership coaching both early and continuously at the appropriate entry points, can be priceless to aspiring leaders as they learn how to influence, presence themselves and develop the talent around them more quickly. These skills are what will most likely distinguish a future team or organizational leader as a High Potential Talent so it separates them from the crowd!
You can significantly accelerate your career and leadership development by partnering with a leadership coach who will challenge you to grow into your potential. And remember that your “talent” is an asset that either appreciates or depreciates with time! So stop wasting time and invest time now where it matters most! The Choice is yours to make!

So where do you seek insightful advice and the straight-up counsel you need?
Colleagues, Friends and Business Peers are all good resources for “bouncing around” your ideas and concerns IF you can be transparent and vulnerable, which unfortunately is not always the case. In fact, the truth is that you might get more of what you want to hear and less objective challenging of what you need to hear regarding the risks and reality of your thinking. And here’s another watch-out, you may get “the best they have to give” based on their own limited experiences and that may not be enough.
