Module 12, Lesson 1: Radical Self-Honesty
As a leader, being your own executive coach can be a game-changer, and we're here to help you unlock your full potential!
We cover 3 main topics:
1️⃣ Identify Areas of Avoidance & Ignorance: Radical self honesty starts with acknowledging the areas where you tend to avoid or feel ignorant. By shining a light on these blind spots, you can begin to take proactive steps towards growth, improvement, and more effective leadership.
2️⃣ Clarify Your Vision & Goals: As a visionary leader, it's essential to have a clear North Star guiding your business or division that you lead. Take the time to clarify your goals and ideas, as they will shape the trajectory of your organization for the next 24 to 36 months. Having this clarity will not only align your team but also attract the right people to help you achieve success.
3️⃣ Leverage Hearts & Minds of Others: You don't have to carry the weight of your business alone. Leverage the hearts and minds of your team to achieve the desired results. Being honest with yourself about what you want most in terms of leading and managing your team will allow you to effectively communicate your vision and create an environment that supports growth and success.
