Show notes

The "Strengthen Your Leadership Series" is a companion to the free email course bit.ly/STRENGTHENYOURLEADERSHIP

The world needs stronger leadership. Strengthen Your Leadership so that you can lead yourself, your team, organization, or business through these unusual times.

Leadership Competency Model May 11, 2020

Show notes

The "Strengthen Your Leadership Series" is a companion to the free email course bit.ly/STRENGTHENYOURLEADERSHIP

The world needs stronger leadership. Strengthen Your Leadership so that you can lead yourself, your team, organization, or business through these unusual times.

How do you measure effective leadership?

“I know it when you see it,” isn’t good enough and is hardly a fair mechanism to rate others in your organization.

Many teams do not have a picture of success for leadership, so how can they possibly measure if there are improvements or weaknesses being made? Many can’t -- they guess. That’s a bad strategy.
