Welcome to Season Three of The High Road to Leadership. Your host, Beverly Lewis, will focus this season on identifying and developing the skills you need to create job satisfaction and build a healthy workplace culture. Leading yourself well is the door to leading others well, so we’ll keep it personal. Who you are now is more important than who you were. Leadership is not so much about where you've been as where you are going. Who are you becoming? What is your vision? If clarity is your goal, you're in the right place. We’re going forward together! What's in Your Pack? You are encouraged to print the leadership packing list here > http://beverlyspeaks.com/packinglist/ This list is one way to assess what’s in your pack and what you can do to prepare well for the future. Consider ONE attribute you want to focus on developing or improving. Then, be accountable to do the work. Accountability ChallengeI challenge you to put the packing list, with the starred items you are focused on, in a place on your desk where you see it every day. Each morning when you come in, look over the list and focus on what you need to do to live up to your leadership philosophy today. At the end of the day, score yourself on how well you did. If you don’t want to do this exercise daily, then at least do it weekly. If you’re really serious about growing, give your list to those on your team and ask them to hold you accountable. Ask for feedback – especially if you fall short on one of the items you are working on. On a quarterly basis, ask them to score you on a 1 to 10 scale on those skills, attitudes, or attributes. Raise Your EQEmotional Intelligence or EQ, is a quality in high demand in today’s top-level leaders. It is the capacity to be aware of, control, and express one’s emotions, and to handle interpersonal relationships empathetically and wisely.
