Leader Wanted: You Must be Confident and Collaborative

RESULTS in Magnifying glass on blue background

At times, the daily grind of the job may slowly overshadow your true personality. If you want to lead with impact, you must be genuine. What does that entail? Your behavior must be consistent in both word and deed. You may not realize it, but people are counting on you and want you to succeed. Here are three easy “C’s” for greater success.

Confidence – Take time to weigh your decisions and include input from others in the process. Take time to ask questions or hold a mini-meeting to gather information. People want to be able to trust that you are hearing them and have their best interest at heart.

Collaborative – While people are responsible for their productivity, they may also have a block or two at times. Make yourself available to answer questions and help anyone who struggles in problem-solving. You are viewed as trustworthy and supportive simply by your willingness to help find solutions.

Compassion – There are times when the workplace can produce great amounts of stress. One simple way to reduce stress is to encourage people to have healthy conversations about what goes on in their lives outside the office. Research tells us that discussions about family, children and hobbies bring about a sense of bonding and stress levels decrease. Taking care of ourselves is important in all areas of life. A confident and collaborative leader models the way to be more successful in reducing stress for self and others.

Are you Ready to Change?

What’s the best way to change me?

As a coach, I have yet to be asked that question. Yet, that’s exactly what people want when they take a class or work with a coach. Enrolling in a program is a desire to improve your knowledge and skills. Asking for help is a request to do the same. Something isn’t working, so please show me, teach me, or help me to be better.

Start your change! – Clear out, organize and prioritize.

Identify what you want or need and write it down. All of it. The good, bad and ugly. Organize it into three buckets. The STOP bucket might include habits or people. The KEEP buckets are your strengths and creativity; what you have been putting off or dreaming of doing. Circle, star, and underline what you will START doing. If it feels right, then “yes”. If it feels like a big challenge then it is a “YES”!

Your plan.

Talk is cheap, action is everything. What will you do first, then second, etc. Write it down. And before you fold up your list, pinpoint potential blocks that you might encounter for each item. Time? People? Money? Fear of failing? Identify ways you can overcome the block. Don’t skip this part; it’s an absolute essential.

What’s the hard part?

Accountability! Share your plan with a trusted friend or colleague. Research tells us that our goals are more likely to be achieved when we write them down and share them with someone else. Your actions tell everyone what you value. When you fulfil on your plan, you can be proud of the changes you made to achieve it. And it feels good!

One way to change your professional skills is by attending the Registered Corporate Coach program. This is a strategic course designed to increase your skills using a proven structure to become a top-level corporate coach.

What to Look For in a Corporate Coach

Corporate Coach at work — “You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers. You can tell whether a man is wise by his questions.” Naguib Manfouz

According to an Executive Coaching Survey released by Stanford Graduate School of Business in 2013, most CEOs express feeling “lonely at the top”. In fact, according to the report by Professor David F. Larcker and his associates, an overwhelming number of these men and women do not benefit from outside leadership advice – but nearly all of those surveyed would welcome it!

Making Positive Connections with Difficult People is an Attainable Goal
