Indispensable Workplace Competencies: Getting to the top

Episode #251 // There are a range of competencies required to forge a successful career. On this podcast, of course, we focus predominantly on how to develop and improve your leadership capability to uplift your team’s performance.Leadership competency gives you leverage: it enables you to multiply and accelerate the results you can achieve through others. And the higher up you go, the more valuable this capability becomes. But there are a number of other vital ingredients that I speak about from time to time, that are crucial building blocks in your success ecosystem. In this episode, I take a more holistic look at what I consider to be indispensable workplace competencies: from business acumen and work ethic, to politics and influence.I also look at what the most ambitious, up-and-coming MBA students at one of the world’s top business schools perceive to be critical competencies for 21st century business… and I integrate all of this into a simple checklist of development areas so that you can work out what to focus on to produce sustainable performance.Source MaterialEconomist Article:What the World's Hottest MBA Courses Reveal About 21st Century BusinessNo Bullsh!t Leadership Episodes:Ep.138: It's Not What You KnowEp.5: Using Power WiselyEp.243: Credibility: The Hallmark of Great LeadersEp.168: Political Sabotage at Work————————FREE 5 DAY LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE: Want to boost your leadership capability?
