Question of the Month
The fast pace of today's workplace is very challenging. Do you find it difficult to keep up with all the unwritten rules that seem to suddenly surface without any warning or communication?
To survive the continued turmoil that will be in place in 2010, you must quickly hone your ability to be ahead of the curve by improving your awareness of the environment. Your objective is to discern opportunities within your environment where your leadership is viewed as a beacon of light as everyone deals with the constant change.
Here is the Challenge:
Your leadership skills must constantly be demonstrated at a high level of performance in order to ensure your value proposition stands out. Even on the days when you think no one is looking. You must have constant awareness of what people are saying and thinking within your department or team.
Focus on viewing the work environment as an opportunity to show off your skills versus just a place where you work. For example, are you aware of what the organization's priorities are for the 1st quarter? You must have a level of awareness within your environment to the degree that you are constantly in the loop. The goal is to ensure that your behaviors are always in alignment with the organization's current focus. More important, what are you going to do to help achieve the priorities?
Strive to show up every day demonstrating awareness of the priorities of your department or team through your behaviors and communication.
Awareness of the environment is a necessary element you must quickly master. If you desire to learn more about this dynamic, contact me to set up a complimentary 30-minute coaching consultation by phone.
