“Leadership is about the decisions you make at pivotal times. At these pivot points, your decision shows if you’re thinking like a Leader or a Manager or a Clock Puncher or a Wanderer. The problem is that at that decision time, you won’t necessarily know that your decision will be pivotal–oh, and no decision is a decision.” – Julia Tang Peters, interview with forbes.com on Pivot Points: Five Decisions Every Leader Must Make
Do you need to pivot and energize your leadership? Do you want to make more of an impact and develop the best leader you know you still have in you as a work in progress? Perhaps you feel constrained by daily demands and time pressures. By difficult personalities and team dynamics. Or, intransigent problems suggest you have a personal blind spot.
The highly personalized coaching of Julia Tang Peters has helped hundreds of executives be mindful leaders as they internalize the ways that make the work of leading very different from the work of managing. Here are a few ways that Julia enhances the work of mindful leaders.
- Cut through complexity and choose courses of action, from the strategic to the practical, that best fit your vision, leadership style, and company’s culture.
- Engage your team in true collaborative decision-making that increases ownership and accountability.
- Prevent emotional reactivity from clouding your judgment and decision-making.
- Calibrate your leadership behaviors to fit the situation and audience.
- Find the delicate balance in the paradoxes of leading:
- Act with confidence yet with humility.
- Have conviction yet be flexible and open to different points-of-views.
- Be in control yet not be controlling or micro-managing.
- Optimize how you work with a trusted advisor and sounding board dedicated to your success.
- Pick out from the noise the voices that matter, identify core issues, and clarify decision points.
- Stimulate fresh thinking about business issues, people issues and leadership issues.
- Hear what you need to hear.
- Fully internalize that the job of leading is very different from the job of managing.
