#64 Setting Yourself Up For Success
What are the foundations for the direction and intention of your leadership?
Summary
Yes, an organisation and a boss have a responsibility to set you up for success. It might be training, definitely an orientation plan, maybe a mentor, and a reasonable, if not manageable, workload (I’ll pause while you all laugh).
And you have a role to play in setting yourself up for success. Getting the room ready for decorating and the walls ready for painting so the colour goes on well and evenly, so I can sit back and bask in the joy of a newly decorated and gorgeous room, is setting myself up for success.
It’s the same when you’re a leader.
This week, we’re into those foundations. Remember, new week, new job, new year, we’re all continual works in progress, and there are moments when it’s time and right to review these. You’ll need a different foundation than someone else, but you can’t neglect any of the 4 areas that I talk through in this episode of the Leadership Lounge.
