Show Notes
Everyone wants to lead . . . until they have to lead. Leadership is not for the faint of heart. There is a critic and counterpoint for every choice that you make. There is an opposing opinion for decision. There are risks associated with every strategy and new stressors that come with every success. Sure, perks, privileges, and good pay that come with promotion. But, every leaderswho has sat in the C-suite will tell you that benefits of leadership will not always outweigh its burdens. In good times, it will balance them out.
Now, when you say these things to an aspiring leader, the first thing they tend think that you are hating on them or that you don’t want to see them succeed. And, that could be the case for some people. But, most leaders tell you about the challenges of leadership because they are trying to keep you from making the same mistakes that we have made – the mistake of assuming that it won’t be that hard. In today's epsiode, we will explore five questions to ask before stepping into the C-Suite.
