I've been really engrossed in the ever-changing world of corporate leadership, and I recently stumbled upon a great read. It's an article from McKinsey called, "CEO Excellence: How do Leaders Assess Their Own Performance?" There's also a book with the same title, and both are absolute gems. If your reading list is already overflowing, the article does a superb job summing up the book’s key points. This article digs into what goes on in the minds of top executives and explores how they evaluate their own leadership. I found it super insightful — it lines up perfectly with what we often explore in my coaching sessions about the importance of self-awareness in leadership. One of the big themes here is the power of knowing yourself — your strengths and your weaknesses. The best CEOs have this down. They're always on the lookout for candid feedback to help them improve, something I stress a lot in coaching — introspection and honest self-assessment set the foundation for genuine growth. It also talks about the importance of having solid mentors and advisors. For any CEO navigating the complex business landscape, having a go-to person(s) for advice, guidance, and feedback can be incredibly valuable. And then there’s the point about being driven by more than just profit — thriving CEOs are those guided by a purpose and set of values that resonate deeply and are reflected in their leadership every day. They aim to make a real difference, not just hit financial targets. In our coaching sessions, we often discuss finding that purpose and aligning it with daily actions, which really helps in leading authentically and inspiring others. Both the article and the book are treasure troves of insights for anyone looking to sharpen their leadership skills. It’s not just about climbing the ladder; it’s about making a meaningful impact at the top. Make sure to check it out, and let it guide you to tap into your full potential as a leader. https://bit.ly/3w8QHqE #CEO #McKinsey #LeadershipAssessment #Feedback
