Many leaders never reproduce themselves; not because they don’t want to but because they don’t think they can. Fear, anxiety, and lack of experience shape their thinking.
Anytime you think you can’t do something, you won’t do it. To become effective at development, we have to understand that it’s a matter of mindset before skill set.
You will never grow your skill set until you change your mindset. So how do you do that?
1. Get around leaders who are developers.
2. Build your confidence by reading books and articles from leadership development experts.
3. Push through fear and just do it. Learn from your failures and successes.
Gaining the skill set it takes to effectively develop leaders won’t happen overnight, but if you take these steps to start changing your mindset, you’ll find that growing in your skill set is much easier than you once believed.
