Leadership Development

Building confidence is essential to fighting imposter syndrome and silencing your inner critic. Do you doubt your abilities and feel like a fraud in your own life? There are five common competence types of imposter syndrome. The perfectionist, the superwoman/man, the expert, the natural genius, and the soloist. Learn to change these negative thought patterns and replace them with positive ones. Find validation from within and surrender to not knowing everything. Fight the fear of looking incompetent and know that there is strength in asking for help.

In leadership as in life, only practice makes perfect. Habits are powerful. They can lock us into negative behaviors (like snacking and smoking) or train us to act automatically in ways that benefit us (such as putting on a seat belt). Routines quietly undergird large portions of what we do and how we function. Habit formation can speed success in the workplace as well - even in complex areas like leadership. The Leader Habit spotlights 22 essential leadership abilities, breaking them down into a series of small, learnable behaviors.

Imagine walking up to a stranger on the subway and asking them for their seat. What about asking a random person on the street if you could borrow their phone? If the idea makes you squeamish, you're not alone - social psychologists have found that doing these very things makes most of us almost unbearably uncomfortable.

And that's a good thing, because every day in the modern, uber-collaborative workplace, we all need to know when and how to call in the cavalry.
