Unlocking the Secrets for Successful Transition into Senior Leadership Transitioning to a senior leadership role can be an exhilarating, yet daunting experience. As professionals, we often find ourselves faced with new challenges and responsibilities that require a shift in mindset. It's not just about climbing the ladder; it's about embracing a whole new level of expertise, attitude, and knowledge. Having had the privilege of navigating this journey myself, I've come to realize that the true essence of senior leadership lies in a combination of intangible qualities and strategic competencies. One of the biggest hurdles I faced was shifting from tangible tasks to intangible leadership responsibilities. In this video I share my experience and lessons learned, and I provide tips to embrace intangible aspects of leadership and focus on high-value tasks for continuous growth and development. https://lnkd.in/e2PgtwYg Remember, continuous growth and development are at the core of successful senior leadership.

Struggling to develop your executive voice? Whether you are an associate manager or a senior executive, the way you communicate can make or break your leadership potential. Your “executive voice” is not just about performance—it's about strategic instincts and the signals you send in daily interactions. https://buff.ly/47uGBx0 #leadership #strategy #executive

Do you measure how your leaders are leading?   Leaders are accountable for certain outcomes and results. This is the case for CEOs, Managing Directors, middle managers with P&L responsibility and frontline leaders. Logically, the results and KPIs for which they are accountable are given much weight in performance evaluations and are key for promotion to the next level.   Whether the indicators are leading and lagging, whether the OKRs are complex or simple, evaluating results in relation to targets is usually a straightforward process. Revenue, operating margin, EBIT, and profitability can all be assessed.
It is more difficult is to measure HOW the leader actually achieved their results. How did they enable their teams to reaching or exceed their goals? We've seen many cases where a leader achieved great results through destructive practices, particularly when incentives support a short-term focus. However, most organizations do not look at the costs of achieving results through poor leadership, even if the consequences can be quantified. Rarely do we ask ourselves how much money we've spent on churn, burnout, and onboarding of new talent based on the poor leadership of certain managers. Or what this type of leadership will cost us long term if we were to measure our diminished capacity to attract, develop and retain talent.   Research shows that bad leaders cost the organisation as much as €500,000 per year, while true leaders saves the organization at least €100,000 over the same time period. What would our RoI be if we measured this, and also addressed it?

 We work closely with leadership development consultants to measure HOW managers at different levels of the client organization achieve their results.

Business results matter. However, we need to get better at measuring HOW leaders lead to achieve the results.

The competition for top leadership talent is fierce, and organizations with outstanding leaders will come out on top. Evaluating your organization’s management roles for absentee leaders and taking action can enhance your talent management strategy. #leadership #management #absenteeleadership

Leadership Actionable Insights 👇 Investing in personal growth is pivotal for senior leaders to enhance their performance and set a benchmark of excellence within their organizations. One effective strategy is for leaders to embrace continuous learning, seeking out opportunities for professional development through workshops, courses, and conferences relevant to their industry and leadership role. Additionally, cultivating a network of mentors and peers provides invaluable perspectives and advice, enabling leaders to navigate complex challenges with greater wisdom and insight.

“Positive leadership is not just about a company’s productivity or success, but about senior leaders working together to have a shared growth ambition.”    As executives, we must work together to ensure that our organization strives to run seamlessly. We should create a positive environment that harbors innovation and celebrates every win so that teams feel inspired to continue driving toward the company’s mission. https://lnkd.in/eTTTjuSt

Leaders often encounter two significant barriers to effective leadership: Fear of Conflict and Decision Paralysis. These issues can impede their ability to lead decisively, make necessary changes, and drive organizational progress. Understanding and addressing these challenges is key to fostering a more dynamic and effective leadership environment.

Effective, transformative leadership begins with who you are and how you show up. —As a leader and collaborator, what if I showed up with greater self-awareness this week? —What would that look like in my leadership? —How would it transform the way I engage, connect, and lead? This week, 22 mid-level and senior leaders from across North America—Toronto, Milwaukee, Denver, Golden, Dallas, Philadelphia, Elkton, Montreal, and Chicago—are coming together to answer those questions. We’re diving into mindful, authentic leadership by building the skill of self-awareness. Too often, leaders get stuck in the “DO MORE cycle”—doing more, trying harder, and pushing endlessly, which often leaves you and your teams overwhelmed. Here’s the truth: Effective, transformative leadership isn’t about doing more—it’s about showing up with greater clarity, connection, and confidence in the work you already do. Here’s what we’re focusing on this week: 👉🏾Building intentionality in aligning your actions with your values and purpose. 👉🏾Growing self-awareness about how we truly see ourselves and the impact we’re making. 👉🏾Leading authentically by breaking free from the cycle of overdoing and limiting beliefs/mindsets, to prioritizing BEing what matters in the work we do. I’m honored to represent BE What Matters® —trusted education & management consulting company—to facilitate this important work with incredible leaders who are committed to breaking free and showing up as their best selves.
