Everyone should be aware of how they respond when triggered and how they work best. That takes work! And it takes the assistance of a trusted circle of advisors and peers.

How founders and other senior leaders fail to lead…

 

#7 They don’t invest in their own development.

• Invest in developing other team members, but not themselves.
• Are not aware of current leadership practices and norms.
• Don’t fully understand the product, customers, and financials.
• Don’t create or fully understand the strategy.
• Don’t prioritize their physical health.
• Don’t address their mental health.

 

TOUGH LOVE: When you fail to identify and regulate your emotions, your communications and interactions may create a dysfunctional team.

 

#8 They become insulated and lonely.

• Don’t create a trusted peer group to cross-pollinate ideas.
• No trusted circle of advisors.
• Don’t work with a coach to help them through challenging times and accelerate their growth.
• Don’t’ attend conferences with peers.

 

TIP: Founders should know other founders. Senior leaders should know senior leaders at other companies.
