“My team shouldn’t need hand-holding. They’re experienced leaders.”
I hear this often. And there’s some truth in it.
But… as leader, you have the power to draw out 10X performance from your team. You have the power to transform their leadership.
Indeed, it’s your very responsibility and your biggest opportunity.
But instead of holding conversations primarily about goals, projects and tasks, it’s going to require you to bring a new level of depth and challenge.
You’ll need to set in place some new elements that ignite your key people. And you’ll going to need to make sure you’re on fire yourself, first.
In short, you need to build what I call your “Leadership Crucible.”
This approach works. I do it every day with my clients, who themselves are extraordinary leaders with an incredible track record.
They’re more accomplished than 99% of leaders. And yet, together, I help them grow into their next level:
- B, who stepped up into an extraordinary CEO of a multi-billion company
- S, who stopped being a strong Managing Director, and became a true entrepreneurial CEO
- A, who is already an industry leader, but who has committed to building a business 10X the size
- C, who committed to shaping not just the future of his company, but his entire industry
- T, who is raising a billion dollars for his next fund
For now, let me ask you. What are the strategies you’ve put in place to ignite your leaders? And on a scale of 1 to 10, how effective are they?
