Your ability to lead directly impacts your results. The recent string of leadership scandals has caused you to evaluate your effectiveness as a leader. However, don’t equate leader effectiveness with being a remarkable leader. It isn’t enough for someone in a leadership position to simply sit in the chair behind the desk and profess that they get things done, or to simply achieve things. A truly successful leader is one who accomplishes goals (competence), and also has good character.
I’m always amazed by what leaders will do for their organizations. So many will spend countless late nights in the office, endure long and grueling business trips, and sacrifice their financial resource to increase the likelihood, even slightly, that their enterprises will succeed. Sadly, these efforts often come at the expense of their health, families, and their sanity.
Talent development is a perennial issue for CEOs, but this year, it’s more prominent than ever. According to PwC’s 2013 Global CEO Survey, the shortage of key skills ranks second (behind higher taxes) among the threats to growth in 2013.
