Challenge is abundant for leaders and mastering one's “inner game” is a critical skill for any leader.
Without a healthy awareness of ourselves, leaders can become trapped in a reactive cycle of fire-fighting, taking control of tasks that their team should own, upsetting people unconsciously. When the accumulation of challenge exceeds our capacity to handle it then our inner game is compromised and our effectiveness diminishes rapidly. This is a vital aspect of leadership development.
Focus: Awareness of Self
- Emotional Regulation: Recognise inner thoughts and feelings, how to respond when triggered, how to make mindful decisions.
- Leading through VUCA: Most environments carry elements of VUCA and leaders need to know how to adapt themselves.
- Core Strengths & Blind Spots: Using Enneagram to unlock insights that we then use to craft a personal leadership mission statement.
- Shifting paradigm: Stop thinking like an IC and start thinking like a leader of ICs, accessing new approaches and retiring old ones.
