Congratulations…you’ve made it to the C-Suite! But don’t think for a minute that you now have a free pass to sit back and take it easy.
You have new and weighty responsibilities and it is even more incumbent upon you to keep learning. You need to continue to learn new skills, not only to set the example for others, but to keep abreast of changes in the marketplace.
There are basically three ways to develop your leadership skills…on your own, with the help of a mentor and through training.
- 1. Spend Time Reflecting. Spend 10 minutes every day assessing your performance that day and reflecting upon how you could have done better. Put your lessons into action right away.
- 2. Get Honest and Frequent Feedback. Choose someone you admire to give you coaching in your new leadership role. If you can’t find a willing and available coach, seek feedback from all those you interact with. Encourage honest assessments and accept them with gratitude.
- 3. Grow and Build Key Skills. Take advantage of any executive training that is offered. Then be sure you find a way to accomplish the transfer of training to your unique strategy, culture and job.
