‘The Rising Leader Podcast’
High Achiever ≠ Effective Leader
Leadership is a learned skill and that learning is never ending. “What got you here won’t get you where you want to go,” an uncomfortable truth Fast Rising High Achievers run into at every level of their career. In fact, what got you here won’t even help you do your new job effectively.
Every step up the ladder requires a new level of leadership and “people skills.” Because “people” are now your job.
On your way to the senior leadership team, you will need to master skills on four fronts:
LEADING UP - You are now a trusted advisor. That means you are a sounding board, speak truth to power, help your CEO get their job done, all while getting your job done.
LEADING ACROSS - You are peers are the power players in the organization. This is the team you are on. Your job is to lead from within that team while being a part of it. You are now a student of the Art of Co-opetition.
LEADING YOUR TEAM - You’ve spent a career honing your leadership skills and now have even less direct impact on how things get done. Your success will only come from your team’s success.
LEADING YOURSELF - Relentless pressure, ambition, burnout, sleepless nights, and resentments, are the price you may be paying for your lofty position. Mastering your emotions, perspective, health and relationships are essential to make this fun and sustainable.
Join us each week as we bring you experts, skills and insights that will help you thrive as you climb the ladder of success.
