Part 4: Developing Yourself as a Leader

We have been talking about developing organizations, developing employees and developing teams. What are you doing to develop yourself as a leader?

Ironically, it is often the last place leaders think to examine and yet the logical place to start. And so you need to ask yourself questions as well.

Do you feel fully used by your organization? Is your fulfillment level as high as it could be?
Are you asking for the resources you need from your supervisors?

Take a moment to consider:

  • Where do you want your career path to go over the next 5 years?
  • What can you do in your career that will connect you to your passions?
  • What skills do you need to do work that is more fulfilling to you?
  • How can you acquire those skills?
  • What resources do you need to acquire those skills (time, money, skill development or training)?
A culture of development means every person within the organization believes they can make a difference. They can make a difference in their own work and their own lives and thus can make a difference in the organization and the world. Take the time to consider how you can create a culture of development within your organization.

How can you contribute to your organization by tapping into your own excellence and passion?
