Self-Management for Leaders: Take Charge of Your Own Career

Are you fully aware of your own leadership capability? Self-insight and awareness can be informed by taking validated leadership assessments such as the CPI 260. Coaching Report for Leaders.

Most of my leadership coaching engagements incorporate instrumented assessments. They can help you create a leadership development action plan enabling you to self-manage your career.

Have you taken the Myers Briggs MBTI, FIRO-B or CPI 260? You may find these assessments extremely helpful in guiding your leadership development.

Leaders (especially those who believe they have undiscovered high potential) should take charge of their own learning and development.

Leaders should be aware of their specific talents and whether they’re being fully utilized and developed. If companies are under-utilizing them, they should actively seek environments where their talents can be used, recognized, encouraged and developed.

Identifying your potential requires introspection and brutal honesty. Functional expertise becomes less important than other leadership capabilities as you rise higher in a company.

This work is best done with an experienced executive coach who can help you find the optimal developmental opportunities and mentors within your organization.
