Are you acting and thinking like a leader?
One way to act like a leader and create a new future is to make stretch commitments that take you outside your comfort zone and propel you into action.
Leadership
How would you like to be remembered?
Researchers from the Harvard Business School found that one of the things that contributes to people being successful and happy over the long term is leaving a legacy. In my father’s case his legacy is the example he gave us of his unlimited compassion for others. How would you like to be remembered?
Is your vision and strategy alive and well?
What is missing that strategies that look elegant on paper seem to fail in their execution?
Are you developing your talent?
Businesses have high expectations of their technology leaders, but seem unwilling to invest in developing their leadership capability. It is surprising when the evidence shows that those companies that develop strategic leadership capability in their technology leaders will outperform their competitors in the marketplace. In fact, developing the talent pool of technology leaders is surely fundamental to the competitiveness of every business.
You need to stand for something to change the game
Progress toward a stretch objective does not always go in a straight line. It is like tacking a yacht; you are constantly adjusting your course to reach your destination. Having a stand for a bigger future helps you stay on track.
