The 4 C's to Growing your Leadership Capacity:

  1. Courage
  2. Clarity
  3. Connections
  4. Confidence

#2-C:  Clarity

"The fog of ambiguity is the default state in an organization." - Karen Martin

Leaders have to work at being clear in an organization.

Clear with our purpose, values and priorities.

Where you need to work on Clarity:

  • Purpose:  What is your WHY?
  • Priorities:  What are the 3 to 5 things in your organization that need to get done in the next 90 days?
  • Process:  Be clear on the key processes in your office
  • Performance:  Identify 10 to 15 performance metrics
  • Problems:  Are you working on the root causes of these issues, instead of only focussing on the symptoms?
  • Personal Clarity

 

#3-C:  Expand your Connections

"You are the average of the four people you surround yourself with."

  1. Is there a connection you need to cut from your life that is perhaps negative or brings you down?
  2. Ask and find a WHO to help 

 

#4-C:  Building your Confidence

More is never good enough.

  1.  Don't be so hard on yourself
  2.  Don't fall in the comparison trap.  Measure yourself against yourself; don't compare yourself to other people.
  3.  You have Time.  Think of how much you have grown. Don't underestimate how much you can do in 2 to 3 decades.

What you need to work on the most:

  • Forging your COURAGE
  • Improving your CLARITY
  • Expanding your CONNECTIONS
  • Building your CONFIDENCE

Lead well!
