Leadership Differs by Level
How do you measure up to the demands of leadership at (and above) your level?
One of the most important things you can know as you plan your professional development is that (and how) leadership differs by level.
Things that change include:
What you’re being paid to do
% of time spent on operational vs strategic activities
What identity elements you retain…and which you must add
What you must stop doing
What aspects of business, financial and strategic acumen you must demonstrate.
If you pay attention and take action you will shine as a viable candidate for advancement and/or other opportunities (e.g. development experiences). If you do not, your success in place will be limited and you’re likely to get stuck where you are.
Read ON! for the full list of elements that change and how they change as you progress from individual contributor to supervisor/team lead to manager to senior manager to executive.
