4 Crucial Skills that Separate a High Performing Leader from the Rest
Did you know that in an article from Insider, it found that the top three reasons why people do not like their jobs (62% of responses) were all communication-related and all due to a lack of CLARITY.
As a business owner, one of your most important responsibilities is to give yourself and your team the CLARITY needed to thrive. The clearer you are about what you want, the more easily you can share it. And, for employees, the degree to which they can understand the tasks they are meant to be doing, and the more easily they can perform their role, the higher their level of performance at work will be. It’s a WIN WIN!
When we speak about High Performers, there are four areas that differentiate them and separate them from under performers and give them an amazing ability to GET CLEAR on what they are after.
A High Performer Has:
Clarity about Self: they know how they want to be and who they are.
Clarity around Social Interactions: they know how they want to show up in situations to get the outcome desired.
Clarity around Skills: they understand the need for development and find ways to improve their skills in order for them to thrive.
Clarity around Service: they know the importance in helping others and going above and beyond in situations.
‘A lack of clarity could put the brakes on any journey to success.’
-Steve Maraboli
