Figure skaters know their strengths. If your triple axel is shaky, you feature your lutz. You build your program around what you do best.
Leaders need that same clarity.
But here's what most leaders miss:
- The very strengths that got you promoted can sabotage your leadership when they run on autopilot.
- Your perfectionism delivered flawless work as an individual contributor. Now you're the bottleneck.
- Being the expert got you the promotion. Now you jump in to solve every problem instead of coaching your team.
- Your hyper-responsibility made you reliable. Now you're working nights and weekends while your team waits for direction.
Great leaders know their strengths AND know when to interrupt the autopilot habits that come with them.
