3 Mistakes That Stop Managers from Asserting Themselves and Grabbing an Office in the C-suite...
Hesitating to share ideas
Doubting their own value
Avoiding confrontation
The 3-step solution:
STEP 1: Practice Assertive Communication
Role-play scenarios with a trusted colleague or friend.
Practice asserting your ideas in a clear and compelling
way.
Gain confidence through rehearsal and constructive feedback.
STEP 2: Highlight Your Value
Create a portfolio of your successful projects and
their undeniable results and impact.
Use this tool to help you define, clarify and communicate your value.
Showcase your value and
contributions clearly to decision-makers.
STEP 3: Seek Supportive Feedback
Ask trusted mentors for advice on self-assertion.
Be intentional about
communicating more assertively.
Learn, watch, and listen from accomplished leaders on how to improve.
We may not always be aware of it, but the way in which leaders communicate can significantly impact
success in business conversations including interviews, meetings, and presentations and yes, when we are networking.
Even small changes in word choices and using precision rather than vagueness can make a difference in whether or not others see us as a confident a leader.
LEARNING CHARISMA...
"Leaders need technical expertise to win the trust of followers, manage operations, and set strategy; they also benefit from the ability to punish and reward.
But the most effective leaders layer charismatic leadership on top of transactional and instrumental leadership to achieve their goals."
