Could You Identify 1, 2, 5, 10 Things That Aren't Giving You Freedom Or Helping You Stand Out From The Crowd?
I recently spoke with a CEO and asked the question👇, and nothing could be identified.
The truth is that it does require us to be honest with ourselves- concerning our:
- habits
- processes
- mindset
- feelings and emotions
- strategies
- bottlenecks
- communication
- conflict resolution skills
- strengths and weaknesses
- business/teams/culture etc
- and results
What makes it hard for many to measure themselves realistically is that many :
👉🏻 Measure themselves so unbelievably hard, with the most insane expectations, that the measurement is based on perfection... an impossible goal.
👉🏻Don't want to admit flaws, mistakes, or uncomfortable truths because they feel it threatens their self-worth and value, so they avoid it.
👉🏻Don't have self-awareness and aren't aware of certain aspects of themselves (blind spots) holding them back.
👉🏻Get caught up in the daily operational demands and urgent tasks, and see using the time to measure as non-essential.
👉🏻When a business is highly profitable, leaders believe the assessment is unnecessary, leading to complacency and missed opportunities for improvement. Assuming their intuition and experience are sufficient is a blind spot.
👉🏻Have a self-serving bias where they attribute positive outcomes to their actions and adverse consequences to external factors. This helps maintain a positive self-image but distorts their perception
The power of regular self-assessment is an essential habit for the top 1% of leaders:
🔥 Improvement is only possible with measurement. Creating a culture of trust and psychological safety is essential for resolving conflicts, achieving collective success, and easily attracting and retaining top talent.
🔥They identify the strategies and behaviours that lead to more tremendous success. This ongoing process of self-assessment (business, conflict resolution, team, etc.) and adaptation fosters continual improvement and superior performance.
🔥Understanding and managing emotions (EQ) helps individuals handle responses effectively, take different actions when fearful, empathize, and build relationships. These are crucial for high-performance leadership and conflict resolution.
