Focusing

This Leadership Development Compass is a guide for your leadership journey. As with navigating over land, we cannot explore every leadership direction simultaneously. Progress requires us to focus on one region of the compass at a time.

Where you focus for now, will depend on what is important to you in the leadership roles you play. Your profile reveals where you and your peers think you are already strong. Think about areas of your profile where you are weaker. What would it mean for you and those around you if you could grow your capacity in those parts of the compass.

You may already know where you are ‘playing safe’ and you want to be challenged and grow. Our experience is that leaders have a sense of their blind spots. These are revealed at times when you feel out-of-your-depth and unsure how to address challenges with the people around you. Ask yourself what elements or leadership practices will help at these times.

While narrowing your focus is critical, significant leadership growth will always include inner work. You will keep returning to the Leading Self element and particularly “Reflection” practice.
