Are you a listening, learning leader?

I spend a lot of time working with one-on-one leaders who are moving on up and committed to their individual development. They are taking on larger roles, moving to bigger organizations, accepting more complex responsibilities, entering the C suite. One of the common mistakes I encounter is this: they come into the new role ready to set the world on fire. But that’s not quite how you want to start. Try a different approach. Come in as a listening, learning leader. This will help you whether you’re movin’ on up to a new position or right in your current role.
