It’s hard, right? But after a while you can do it quite well. To illustrate this: supposing you’re right-handed, try signing your name using the other hand. Aim to increase your range and flexibility, but also be aware that there’s a piece of the range that’s never going to happen for you. Just avoid that stuff.įocus on the middle, those things you’re quite good at, and make yourself pretty damn good at them. Honestly, don’t waste your energy on trying to build the skills at the bottom of your list. What you need to do is focus on the skills that are within your range. For everything in between, practise enough and you’ll get to a good standard.ĭon’t even try to be “completely new” or to follow a leadership formula. Over at the other end is probably something you’ll never be able to do.
So take a look at your range of strengths and weaknesses.Īt one end of the spectrum are things that come naturally to you. You’ve probably done a Strengthsfinder assessment already. You can’t change who you are and you can’t be good at everything. It’s very difficult to be world-class when you’re doing something you hate. It’s never, “I’m going in and I can handle anything.” There are a huge range of leadership challenges and if something is just not you, it’s really okay to say no. When the world comes knocking on your door saying, “We need you to do this,” stop and think carefully before saying yes. Want to land a leadership role where you’ll shine? This is a good place to start.
