Checklist for Human Leadership Skills

A simple question set for reflecting on leadership skills needed for 2024 and beyond

Even if you’re on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there – Will Rogers

Leadership is not one or two courses or away days, it is continually learning, evolving and growing.

Leaders are at the core of how organisations will flourish into the future.

Leaders need to be focusing on the human experience of work with their people, teams and departments as well as with clients/customers.

This is a simple self-reflection check list to see how you would rate yourself on the latest pioneering approach to leadership learning.

Why use it?

• You may be a leader who has been focused on getting through the challenges at work and not revisited your own development for some time. This could help refocus on what is important now as a leader and remind/prompt some new discussions for you with your team.
• You might be starting in a new leadership role/team/organisation and want to consider where to focus your attention in your leadership development journey.
• You might be stretching yourself to progress into your first leadership role and want to test yourself on the most relevant approach to leadership with your new team/department.

Ways to use this checklist?

• You may like to go through the questions prior to a 121 or team meeting simply to bring these important elements to the forefront of your attention.
• You may like to share with some peers and share results to learn together where you can support each other to learn and grow as a leader.
• You may like to focus your learning with what is available to you at work and beyond to improve your lifelong learning as a leader in line with areas you feel less confident in.
