The 6 Reasons Most People Fail to Meet Their Leadership Potential:

Open AllClose All

Being great at your job does not necessarily = being great at leading people

Talented individual contributors are often promoted to management because of their hard work and success.

The technical skills of the job do not translate to knowing how to hold employees accountable or foster inspiration.

Thinking being a leader means being a "A BOSS"

People often make the mistake of assuming that dominating or intimidating others, and being considered the smartest person in the room, are attributes of a great leader.

Their resulting behavior often causes them to demotivate and frustrate their direct reports, sometimes to the point of quitting.

Having limited or no opportunity for growth from an employer

Perhaps their own leader isn't giving them the feedback and development opportunities they need to develop their leadership skills.

Focusing on finding and developing strengths... while ignoring weaknesses

Knowing strengths is critical to reaching potential as a leader, yet employees should not be left to endure a leader's weaknesses.

Merely hoping to get better with time

Regardless how seasoned the leader may be, most of the individuals we've worked with are unaware of the ways in which their communication and leadership style is creating a disappointing work environment, high turnover, and low productivity and engagement.

Believing an advanced degree qualifies people for a leadership role

While college can provide valuable education on how to perform a trade or run a business, that education is rarely, if ever, coupled with training on how to lead in a way that balances inspiration and accountability of others, or how to have difficult conversations with confidence and respect for others.
