Good leaders ensure that roles are clearly defined for each person within their team/across the company. CLG uses a GiANT Role Clarity Tool to help leaders get clear about the roles and responsibilities of those they lead.

Whether new to a role or in a role for a while, people do not know what their roles and responsibilities are and what winning looks like.

Are the roles and responsibilities of your employees clear at every level of the organization?

Does each person have a defined job description, goals, and know who to report to?

Where are the gaps? If the ball gets dropped, where does that happen most often? This may indicate lack of clarity or resources/leadership.

How do you pursue a path of growth?

Network. If you do not already network with other business professionals, do it! This does not mean you have to attend a mixer or coffee hour - although both are good for the right people - you can join a business group with
like-minded professionals. Find your niche and get c***ected.

Read inspirational/educational/trending articles and books. This is not a lump sum strategy. It is a habit to form and pursue over time. It is also beneficial to read just for fun.

Brainstorm and problem-solve. We should all embrace challenge when it comes our way. Imagine all the things you would have not otherwise learned if you had not been challenged. Approach problem-solving with a "can do" attitude and brainstorm with a "no limit" mindset.

These tips are just a few of many in pursuing a path of growth. What other things can you think of that are helpful here? Please share in the comments.

“Whether you think you can, or think you can’t…you’re right”, is a famous quote by Henry Ford.

Have you ever considered what it is like to be on the other side of you? Your body language, words, and tone? Being self-aware is not easy.

07/26/2024

We are talking about self-awareness this month and have asked the question, “What is it like to be on the other side of you?"

So where do you start on your journey to become more self-aware? CLG has several self-aware tools we use to coach people. One of them is called the Leader Mirror.

The Leader Mirror leads you to evaluate yourself in three areas:

1. Where are you on the scale of being reactive or proactive?

2. Are you leading yourself intentionally or are you being intentional?

3. Are you consistent or inconsistent?

Take a few minutes to consider and answer those questions and write down your answers. Things look differently in writing than they do in your head. If you want to be brave, talk with someone close to you about your self-awareness revelations.

We want to take people on a journey to become leaders worth following. Hop on board with us today. We have the tools and experience to make your journey life-changing for you and everyone around you. DM us today!

We are talking about self-awareness this month and have asked the question, “What is it like to be on the other side of you?”

There are many similar yet different definitions of what self-awareness is. In general, self-awareness is having clarity about your actions, thoughts, values, words and how you say them, body language, and what you do and do not do well. In addition, self-awareness is also understanding what it is like to be on the other side of you.

Remember that angry email you sent that you wish now you could take back? After you realized how it felt for the receiver, you wished you had not sent it and promised yourself to not do it again. You became more self-aware in that moment.

We are talking about self-awareness this month and have asked the question, “What is it like to be on the other side of you?”

Dr. Tasha Eurich conducted a five-year research program on self-awareness. The results are astounding. Eurich and her team discovered that although 95% of people think they’re self-aware, only 10 to 15% actually are. The study also uncovered several consistent behaviors of un-self-aware individuals:

· They won’t listen to, or accept, critical feedback.
· They cannot empathize with, or take the perspective of, others.
· They have difficulty “reading a room” and tailoring their message to their audience.
· They possess an inflated opinion of their contributions and performance.
· They are hurtful to others without realizing it.
· They take credit for successes and blame others for failures.

Do any of these traits reflect your behaviors? We can help!

Even though self-awareness—knowing who we are and how we’re seen—is important for job performance, career success, and leadership effectiveness, it’s in remarkably short supply in today’s workplace. Researchers have found that although 95% of people think they’re self-aware, only 10 to 1...
