7 Leadership Mistakes That Make You Look INCOMPETENT!
I've found that one of the biggest fears of emerging leaders is looking incompetent. This is where you're worried you won't be able to do your job or that your boss will regret hiring you. The reality is, you could be contributing to this outcome. You could be making a number of leadership mistakes that make you look incompetent.
Some of these leadership mistakes are because you don't want to stand out or be too visible. Others are because you've just developed bad habits. Regardless, becoming aware of behaviours or actions that are holding you back is the first step in looking more competent. Then you can start to overcome or avoid these leadership mistakes so you can look more competent as a leader.
And that's exactly what this video is meant to do. I hope you find it helpful and that it moves you one step closer to looking like a competent leader at work.

    Yes, the misalignment of ideas to the company’s goals is a big one. However - often company goals and strategy are poorly communicated. Seek clarification 1st.

    I wouldn't suggest steps to take unless asked for advice. I would suggest or ask if they are looking for advise, and if so, go ahead with it. Otherwise it is unsolicited advise and it won't be taken the right way.

    I thought this video was just going to be some goody-goody boiler plate advice, but it's not. This video really gives some powerful advice and should be carefully listened to. For example, at 6:30 she says "Reframing expectations could include saying "no" to duties that are not going to help you get promoted." Shrewd, gutsy strategy. Many other very good ideas and insights in this video.

    This teaching is critical for all of us who grew up in abusive and neglectful families of origin where we were not taught how to communicate properly. I have been fawning, freezing and taking flight for years whenever I sense conflict. But, learning to stand your ground assertively and respectfully is critical to good emotional health and relationships. We need healthy relationships in order to thrive.
