Confident Leaders
Grow your impact by growing your ability
Whether you lead a team, an organisation or even a cause, how effective you will be depends on your leadership ability.
Leadership expert John Maxwell describes leadership ability as the ceiling (or ‘lid’) that always determines your effectiveness and the maximum impact of your team or organisation. He goes on to give an example, that if your leadership ability is, for example, a 5 out of 10, your team or organisation will never grow beyond a 4 out of 10. Unless, of course, you invest and grow your leadership ability.
There are no quick fixes to improving your leadership skills.
Leadership development requires a steady, consistent approach – like going to the gym to improve your fitness. The good news is that every leader can grow if they put in the time and effort.
Emotionally demanding workplaces can amplify the challenges facing leaders. Having the right support and tools by your side can transform the stress of leadership into opportunities for you and your organisation to thrive.
Having a coach who has been in your shoes and a network of trusted peers to call on as a sounding board, are invaluable supports for overcoming and growing through the complex challenges leaders face.
