Session 9 Review

Amazing!

As we progress upward in our careers, the ability to change people's attitudes and behaviors becomes more and more critical. Last week, in Session 9A, we heard how we are taking action to make that happen without diminishing the enthusiasm of those around us.

Interestingly, as we see people advance, sometimes they become less flexible instead of more flexible. In 9B, our focus was on helping us break out of the rigidity that seems to happen to other leaders as their responsibilities increase. Paradoxically, greater flexibility enables our subordinates to approach us more openly (particularly those in a different generation) and give us the information we need to make better decisions in our businesses (and in our lives).

CONGRATULATIONS on taking a big step outside of your comfort zones. Of course, isn't that where the opportunities in our lives are?
