Ready To Grow Your Career as an Introverted Super Leader?
Lift your leadership effectiveness to extraordinary results.
Leadership lift is a learning journey coupled with real world situational group coaching to help you to become the leader who leverages your natural introverted personality into the most amazing, impactful, leader for your reports, peers, and senior management.
Most people haven’t been through any leadership training, let alone any program that’s highly effective as to how to apply what you learned especially for people who may not be naturally outgoing conversationalists.
Most leadership and communication trainings promote extroverted outgoing personalities and they are the ones who also seem to get the recognition and promotions more times than not.
Today’s introverted leaders struggle with a myriad of challenges they’ve never specifically been trained on to turning their reserved personality into their superpower.
Here’s how you do this:
Trust
It starts with creating, and having a high level of trust and respect. If these two critical areas are missing, you’re dead in the water before you even begin. They are the core ingredients for high level effective leadership and communication. Effective leaders focus their attention on how to establish trust, keep it at a high level and get it back if it is broken.
Goals & Skills
Leaders are clear in communicating outcomes and can distinctly share the goals and tasks with their reports, specifically based on the situation. Impactful leaders have the ability to accurately assess the team member’s capabilities and determine what exactly is needed in terms of their own leadership approach going forward.
Direction, Coaching & Support
Knowing how and when to give direction is one piece of the pie. Great leaders are the most flexible in their approach and choose the right type of leadership style, depending on their report’s individual development capabilities when it comes to specific goals and accomplishing specific tasks.
Team Performance
Team Leadership is about developing a team of people to maximize their productivity as a cohesive group. Effective team leadership allows the team to have clear direction and to be able to work through conflict to eventually become self-sustaining where team member’s support and direct each other. The end result is a highly productive and motivated team that essentially can lead themselves.
Communication
Effectively Communicating expectations is a key component of leadership. Communication can be tricky and can have disastrous results or achieve greatness. The best leaders foster and use proven communication tips and tricks that create the most desirable outcomes.
Studies suggest that introverts make up around 25-40% of leadership positions, showing that they can be successful in leadership roles despite societal biases favoring extroversion.
If you’ve found yourself constantly facing the same challenges over and over again including:
Challenged Building Relationships - Uncomfortable Connecting with reports, peers and leaders or presenting in front of a group of people
Avoiding Conflict - You stress over addressing conflicts or difficult situations and cringe at the thought of getting into these situations.
Hiding Around Execs - You struggle with Executive Presence in order to show your true self that offers visibility of your ideas and your unique strengths.
You HATE Networking - to promote your personal brand for future career growth opportunities
Slow Team Growth - Your reports and your team continue to experience no or slow growth of knowledge and skills to work independently. This eats up your time available as you are continually having to give direction and support and CAN’T JUST DELEGATE tasks and goals.
Struggle To Communicate Effectively - You want to be able to influence outcomes and feel comfortable in small and or large groups, yet your inner critic is screaming retreat, retreat!
Overcoming all these challenges are critical to your success as a manager and a leader of leaders, if you want to meet and exceed your career growth opportunities and to really make some significant positive impact to your organization.
Using your unique personality and applying them in a way that makes sense to you and feels comfortable is the key to your success. Not to become someone you are not.
Turn your introverted tendencies into your leadership superpower.
Most current managers and leaders of managers don’t know where to turn to, to not only gain the actual proven skills they require as quickly as possible, but know how to apply them in real world situations.
To become a powerful introverted leader, you need to really master these 5 skills: goal setting, action planning, developing reports, time management and effective communication …
… and feel natural when applying them.
Imagine if your team not only were highly motivated to meet and exceed expectations but actually want to make you proud as their leader.
