I have a confession to make. There was a time in my career when I was a horrible boss. When I was 26 years old I was appointed as the General Manager of boutique public relations firm and while I was technically great at my job and had nothing but good intentions for my team … I had no idea how to bring out the best in others.
Unfortunately I’m not alone. Studies suggest that 63% of managers say their leadership skills are average or below.
The problem is most leaders are appointed because they’ve been technically successful. And while some of us are given training in communication, negotiation, budgeting and legal compliance, we’re almost never taught how people’s brains and bodies are wired to perform at their best. As a result in an increasingly complex and uncertain business environment many leaders are struggling to bring out the best in themselves and their teams.
So as one CEO recently asked me: “Where’s the roadmap to becoming a positive leader?”
