Why individual star performers often make mediocre managers? 👇👇👇 Because very often, the very same things that made them successful as an individual performer are working against them when they become leaders: 🔹Stellar performance record that put these star performers on the map often means that they rarely needed coaching, so often they lack experience in coaching and developing others. 🔹Ambition and drive that got them to the “star” level usually mean that they have no idea how to deal with people who lack motivation. 🔹A high success rate often translates into a limited experience of reflecting on and learning from failures. Skills that got them promoted to the leadership position will not make them great leaders. 🏆 Leadership requires a different skillset and a real behavioral and mindset shift, which starts with developing self-awareness and creating a leadership roadmap. What do you think is the biggest challenge of switching from an "individual performer" to a "leadership" mode? #leadership #humanresources #leadershipdevelopment

So, my question to you is this: Are you seeking feedback or avoiding it? Leadership isn't about dictating a direction from a single vantage point. Many believe that leaders are the sole source of wisdom, but the truth is, the best leaders actively seek input from a wide range of perspectives. Over the years, I’ve noticed that the most effective leaders I’ve met consistently ask for feedback—from colleagues, employees, and peers, regardless of status or position. Why? Because they understand that their current role and experience can create blind spots. No one person sees the full picture. Great leaders marinate on the feedback they receive, evaluate it carefully, and make the necessary adjustments to guide their teams more effectively. #Leadership #Feedback #GrowthMindset #ContinuousImprovement #Teamwork

🌟 Leadership Lessons from Experience 🌟 In my journey so far, I’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse range of leaders—some rigid, some flexible, some truly inspirational, and others who seem a bit lost in their roles. Each experience has taught me valuable lessons about leadership dynamics. However, the most challenging interactions have come from those who are unpredictable, entitled, and immature. Interestingly, I’ve found that even the more arrogant and rigid leaders can be easier to navigate because their decision-making is consistent, even if I don’t always agree with it. In contrast, engaging with unpredictable and childish leaders can be quite a puzzle. Establishing clear communication with them often requires constant adjustment, making it a unique challenge. What are your experiences dealing with different leadership styles? I’d love to hear your thoughts! 💬 #Leadership #ProfessionalGrowth #Communication

Listening to various team leaders, I can now confidently say that great leaders navigate paradoxes, and not polarities. For example; Being decisive yet open to feedback. Control vs. Empowerment, where setting direction is crucial (control), but micromanaging the team stifles innovation. Effective leaders delegate and trust their team. How do you balance these tensions in your leadership? #leadership #management #growthmindset #Power
