Confidence is critical in leadership, but it can be misleading. Elizabeth Holmes’s story shows how over-confidence can lead to disastrous outcomes. Here are 5 pitfalls of confidence to keep in mind: ✅ Confidence doesn’t always mean competence. ✅ Confident people aren’t always right. ✅ Over-confidence can hinder listening. ✅ Confident explanations can be inaccurate. ✅ Passion doesn’t guarantee truth.

As a small business owner one of the best ways to build your authority online is contributing to articles in your industry. It shows Google and potential customers that you're qualified, reputable and trustworthy.

I'm not a great fan of the term "soft" skills - it inevitably conjures up an image of "nice to have" skills, which is wholly misleading. However, it was interesting when Forbes Coaches Council invited me and my fellow members to share our thoughts on how some of these skills could help any leader to succeed. #leadership #skills

MANAGING YOURSELF To continue the journey of sharing leadership wisdom with all of you business owners and entrepreneurs, here are next 5 traits you need to work on to manage yourself well before you manage your teams and ultimately your business: 6. Give yourself a leadership task and work up Many of us wait until we are sick to see a doctor. However preventive medical assessments have been shown to improve health, save lives and reduce medical costs. As a business leader, it’s vital to ask your people working with you for feedback about what’s working and what’s not. Be sure to understand their expectations and work accordingly. Having a complete understanding of where you are as a leader gives you a greater sense of control and power to shape your future. 7. Work on your backhand When you are particularly god at something, it’s easy to reply on that strength. For example, if your forehand is your stronger stroke, you will position yourself to use it much more often. But turning weaknesses into strengths will give you a competitive edge and make you a more effective business leader. Focus energy on improving your weak points. There is no better way to impress than to reveal a killer backhand when everyone is expecting your forehand. 8. Shed your excessive need to be you One of the worst habits a business leader can have is excusing his behaviour with claims like, “That’s just the way I am”. Stop clinging to bad behaviours because you believe they are essential to who you are. Instead of insisting that you can’t change, think about how these behaviours may be impeding the success of those around you. Don’t think of these behaviours as character traits, but as possibilities for improvement. You will be surprised how easily you can change when it helps you succeed. 9. Be open to criticism Constructive criticism is essential for creativity, innovation and problem solving. Since leadership require all three, leaders need to be sure not only that they are open to criticism, but that they actively seek it out. Don’t simply ask for general feedback but ask people- direct reports and customers- to poke holes in your ideas and approaches. Critique can be a useful approach to test ideas and keep your teams accountable. 10. Listen better Good listening isn’t just about making the speaker feel respected and heard. It’s also about making sure you understand what’s truly said. Think, review and listen are three key tips to remember and follow. #leadershipskils #listen #criticism #forehand #hbrleaderahip #manageyourself #think #review #listen

YOU ARE INVITED TO THIS GREAT GROWTH OPPORTUNITY! "Everything rises and falls on leadership." John C. Maxwell Leadership can be a blessing or a curse.

It’s a feeling it’s a sense. It’s something in the air. As Pep Guardiola describes Carlo Ancelotti, he also describes himself. He will be remembered when his time is done as one of the greatest coaches that ever led in the world’s greatest game. Feeling emotion sensitivity creativity the best absolutely attached to this. Which ironically is the direct opposite of everything that’s taught in Coach education. Never mind leadership education where you will find cookie cutter eight points to leadership six points to leadership nine keys to leadership everywhere. For me it always has been and always well-being nonsense. Nonsense. Yes, you of course can work on leadership skills. I have no doubt for me. Leaders are born. There’s something in them. I’ve always been one, in all the sports teams now in my business and now working with all the leaders I’ve worked with with in the last decade. I see it in my daughter. I see it in my son. It’s a hell of a burden. Nothing will ever be enough, the relentless pursuit of more more more standards which cripple you and can have the ability to cripple everyone around you. Highly sensitive highly emotional, feeling everything. However, hanging on to the very gifts that separate, your leader is simply the hardest thing we will ever do. The relentlessness is dragging as constantly into nothing is ever enough holding people accountable who are quite happy in the mid lane, dragging people up, noting everything that the highest standard and all the time, so feeling sadness to a height and level fear to a height and level compassions height and level it’s a hell of a combination. The best hang on. They are not seduced by clever leadership strategy selling companies. They’re not seduced by the latest data and science they’re not seduced by all the noise they remain anchored in the two truths of which they’ve been blessed and of which make the greatest difference. Nothing will ever be enough. It’s relentless. Highly sensitive in tune with their emotions feeling everything What a combination I felt it a mission 13 years ago after my career finished and I was so tired I’ve been emotionless leaders for 20 years, destroying the souls of all the men around me, including my own. No needs ever met no emotions ever allowed. It was time to make changes. I’m not sure Carlo Ancelotti Pep Guardiola Jürgen Klopp could really articulate could really break down how they do what they do. The gifts they have are exactly that the level of the level of emotion that gifts not everyone has that. How can we take someone from a three out of 10 and get them up to a six to a seven deep understanding of these tools. WithoutDoubt we can. When I wrote my Education in 2018, it was for exactly this reason. I felt huge empathy to many ex teammates. I saw going to leadership positions and get fired in months. I’ve watched it again this season in and out in under 12 weeks families to feed ambitions to fulfill now jobless.

Being a great leader is more than just being good at leading people. You must truly know yourself. A leader can not help others realize their strengths and better their weakness if they cannot do the same within themselves.

Continual growth

Simple but so true. Leaders need to be as vulnerable and open to our own weaknesses and strengths as the ones we lead.

It's all about to understand the acronyms.
