You have a good job and salary, but desire a future where you’re having a bigger impact and advancing up the ranks as a leader. This is not selfish or egotistical. The leaders who excel in leadership roles to have the most impact on their people are the leaders who identify their wants, determine how to achieve those wants, and then take accountability to manifesting it into reality. This means moving past external motivators and living into your true desires for your life. Gaining what you want that is internally motivated comes from a place of abundance, freedom, and accountability. Today, I’ll show you exactly how to make this happen in your leadership career and your life. #Leadershipdevelopment #leadershipgrowth #careeradvancement #leadershipmindset

I’m replacing “failure” with “growth experience”...because that’s what it is. Success and failure produce the same opportunities for leaders. Both offer an opportunity to learn and grow. I’ve hindered my growth for too long considering my past actions as failures. All of it…good, bad, successes, dumpster fires…it’s all growth experiences for growth-minded leaders. Without every single experience, I would not be who I am, And leaders who excel are the ones who embrace every experience. #Leadershipdevelopment #leadershipcoaching #careeradvancement #leadershipinfluence

Start by asking yourself if your decisions and actions are done as acts of service for the people who work for you.Leadership the a result of a series of acts of service.If you’ve found yourself leading outside of this principle, invest in your leadership development to get back on track.Leaders who continually sharpen their skills and lean into a growth mindset have the most impact on their people. Through 15+ years in leadership roles, I’ve learned a lot about driving my leadership development.As I rose through the ranks of management, I struggled at times to stay focused on what mattered the most to best support my team.Self-doubt, fear of failure, and imposter syndrome got the best of me at times.Now, I work with leaders who experience the same obstacles as they rise through the leadership ranks.They have a high desire to elevate their influence but…just need the developmental support to propel them to the next level.Leaders who take control of their development and realign on strategies to strengthen their leadership…Are the leaders who excel in their role and elevate their level of influence.The result is fostering a positive influence on the people who work for you, driving business results, and continually advancing your career.It begins with ensuring everything you do is an act of service for your people.

Out of those organizations, most of them are spending less than $500 per leader in their leadership development. The trend continues... but here's what you can do to ensure you're developing as a leader:1. Don't become a victim.-You own your development, so take the wheel and drive it.2. Avoid a negative echo chamber among peers. -If your peers want to feel "held back" from advancing, let them. Focus on what you can do to advance yourself.3. Discuss your development needs with your boss.-If your boss doesn't have the time and resources to adequately support you, now you know it's up to you.4. Invest in a coach-Feedback and accountability during your development journey will achieve advancement faster.

In a poll I conducted on LinkedIn among people in leadership roles… 35% stated that receiving feedback was the most challenging area when working towards a promotion. I wasn’t surprised when I heard this because this is very common among leaders I’ve coached. Here are the 3 main sources you’ll need to tap into to gain beneficial leadership feedback1. People you leadYou must start with your team, the people you have a direct impact on every day.If you don’t have a clear understanding of how you’re perceived by your team, you’re missing out on the most critical feedback available to you.Ask: “What’s one thing you would like to see improvement on?”Say: “Here’s my thought process..” or “I’m trying to achieve…”2. Your bossYour leader’s job is to consider your personality and your leadership style, and then provide feedback that helps you live into your leadership identity in a way that benefits the organization.If you’re not currently getting the level of feedback needed from your boss, don’t make the mistake of thinking it’s solely your leader's job to schedule time.Own your development and start the conversation, schedule time, and create an action plan.3. Upper ManagementThis is probably the source of feedback that leaders often miss out on but can gain a lot of valuable feedback.Going a level above your manager is okay, it shows initiative and curiosity.Think about it...upper management is ultimately driving the organization’s culture, innovation, and strategy…you need to get feedback from this source.

http://www.youtube.com/@PhilipHilthttps://www.linkedin.com/in/philip-hilt/Leading a high-performing team can be daunting, especially as you climb the ranks, shifting from strategies that once led to success and potentially causing an imbalance in your leadership influence. Philip Hilt, a seasoned leadership coach, introduces a core principle for reclaiming equilibrium and enhancing influence in his free leadership guide, "Elevated Influence for Leaders," drawing from his coaching experiences and personal journey. Emphasizing the principle of serving others, Hilt reveals that while it may seem rudimentary, maintaining this focus amidst mounting responsibilities is challenging for many leaders. He shares his own transformative experiences, from revitalizing a struggling team through relationship-building and empowerment to confronting leadership obstacles in higher-level roles. Acknowledging the common struggle of adapting leadership approaches to new responsibilities, Hilt underscores the importance of seeking feedback and remaining committed to serving one's team, highlighting the pivotal role of this principle in driving positive influence and business outcomes. By realigning values, embracing feedback, and prioritizing the well-being of team members, leaders can foster a culture of growth and empowerment, ultimately propelling their influence to new heights. Hilt's guide offers a roadmap for leaders to navigate these challenges, urging them to prioritize personal growth and development to elevate their leadership influence effectively.

Download my FREE guide: https://mailchi.mp/careerfortitude/elevated-influence-for-leaders-guideElevating your influence starts with embracing growth, and I've distilled this concept into three fundamental steps. But before we delve into these steps, let's understand what a growth mindset truly means. Psychologist Carol Dweck defines it as the belief that basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work. It's about viewing challenges as opportunities, fostering a culture of learning, embracing feedback and reflection, taking calculated risks, and nurturing resilience and persistence. Now, let's focus on the three basics of leading with a growth mindset: 1. Be Coachable: As a leader, it's essential to remain open to learning and improvement. Being coachable means embracing feedback, seeking out opportunities for growth, and being willing to adapt and evolve in response to new insights and perspectives. 2. Seek Out Feedback: Feedback is a valuable tool for personal and professional development. Actively seek feedback from your team, peers, and mentors, and use it as a catalyst for growth. By soliciting input from others, you gain valuable insights into your strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement. 3. Help Your Team Live in a Growth Mindset: As a leader, you have the power to influence the culture of your team or organization. Foster a growth mindset among your team members by leading by example, providing support and encouragement, and creating an environment where learning, innovation, and continuous improvement are celebrated. By embracing these three basics of leading with a growth mindset, you'll not only elevate your own influence as a leader but also inspire and empower your team to reach new heights of success.

Feedback is a gift!! First, actively seeking input from your team on a regular basis demonstrates your commitment to their growth and the improvement of your leadership. Engage in meaningful conversations beyond surface-level responses, delving deeper into how specific aspects impact their work and emotions, and inviting their ideas for improvement. By empowering your team to influence your leadership skills, you foster trust and strengthen connections. Secondly, listen and adjust based on the feedback received. Implementing changes informed by team input not only demonstrates your receptiveness but also enhances your influence as a leader. Track the results of these adjustments and follow up with your team to review successes, challenges, and unexpected obstacles. By involving your team in the analysis process and collaborating on next steps, you cultivate leadership skills within the team and foster a culture of continuous improvement. Lastly, embrace failure as an opportunity for growth. Leading your team through setbacks with resilience and a focus on learning fosters a culture of innovation and adaptability. Acknowledge achievements and new skills developed during change initiatives, even when they do not yield desired outcomes. Encourage your team to see failures as learning opportunities and to extract key insights for future endeavors. By modeling a proactive approach to problem-solving and emphasizing the importance of learning from mistakes, you unlock valuable feedback and cultivate a team capable of navigating challenges with confidence. By adhering to these principles, you not only enhance your influence as a leader but also foster a culture of trust, collaboration, and continuous learning within your team. As you implement these strategies, you empower your team to contribute meaningfully to the organization's success and advance their own leadership capabilities.
