Yourself as leader
What type of leader do you want to be? What is important to you? What do people say about you when you are out of the room? How does that sit with the culture and values of your organization?
Your practice
Are you confident in your business strategy? How dynamic is your practice? How resilient? What will you change? How will you draw in new and profitable business and build a reputation for exceptional client service?
How you work
How will you work productively and make an impact in this role? How will you recognize and leverage your strengths? What more can you NOT do? Who will help? How will you build support around you to ensure your leadership is a success? How can you scale up to make your practice sustainable?
Blind spots
What might hold you back? What skills do you need to build? Which are a priority and what will you do about it? What habits will you change? Do you have niggling doubts about your competence? What stories are you telling yourself?
Your team
How will you build trust and commitment in your team and motivate them to produce their best work? How much of yourself will you share and what will you hold back? What does authentic leadership mean to you? How will you celebrate success, show appreciation, manage under-performance, enjoy diverse ways of thinking and working, give and receive feedback? How inclusive is your decision-making? How thoughtful is your communication strategy?
Your energy
High achievers thrive on challenge and complexity but how do you avoid slipping over into stress and burnout? How will you build habits to retain psychological and physical health? Where will you make space for calm focused thinking? How will you hold onto what you enjoy and the deeply important things in life?
