Her Seat at the Table: What got you here, won’t get you there
Many professionals get stuck at a certain level of success. For instance, they manage to climb to a middle-management position at their organization, but always get passed over for promotion to the executive level. Research shows that when a professional’s career stalls in this way, it’s usually because they’ve slipped into bad behavioral habits. In other words, you’ve started to treat your colleagues poorly and you might not be aware of that. You are cancelling yourself out.
For instance, you may become so self-important that you refuse to listen to anyone else’s ideas. Or you might be seen as the overly critical in the team. Or you might be trying to please everyone around you. Or you might be constantly in overdrive and might be losing people on the way. Either way, while engaging in these behaviors may have been beneficial in the past and has helped you to get “here”—to your current level of success—they won’t get you “there”—to the heights of success that you ultimately aspire to. There is a different type of leadership needed.
In this webinar we will:
- uncover where do these ‘bad behaviors’ come from and how to change them
- we will also touch upon the difference between the most effective leaders and the least effective ones
- see how the overuse of your most important strengths may become your biggest weakness when it comes to climbing the corporate ladder
