Here’s a really simple way to measure the strength of
your executive leadership skills. Ask your people to name 3
important reasons why they enjoy working with you.

Most leaders find it acceptable to be viewed as a “nice”,
“friendly” or “clever” person.

Others prefer to be “hands-off” - you know the type of boss
who lets us do our work the way we choose to do it - the
leader who wants our work done and doesn’t care to be
bothered with the hows or whys of our doing it.

When people make a decision (either consciously or unconsciously) to follow
your leadership, they do it primarily because of one of two things: Your
Character or your Skills. They want to know if you are the kind of person
they want to follow and if you have the skills to take them further. Yes,
there are other variables but these are the bulk of the matter. This week we
focus on the kind of skills that cause people to follow your leadership,
specifically things that an Extraordinary Leader doesn’t do!
