As a new and emerging leader, clearly understanding your skill set, values, and non-negotiables is crucial. Knowing these three components can help you establish your leadership style and pave the way for success in your career.

Understanding your skill set is essential to identify your leadership qualities. Assessing your strengths and weaknesses is important to determine where you excel and where you need to improve. This knowledge can help you delegate tasks more effectively and build a team that complements your skill set. It can also help you identify areas where you need further training or development to enhance your leadership abilities.

Knowing your value is important because it helps you articulate your worth as a leader. Your worth is what sets you apart from others, and it is based on your unique skills, experience, and achievements. By identifying your value, you can communicate it to your team and stakeholders, which can help you build credibility and earn respect as a leader.

Establishing your non-negotiables is essential because it sets the boundaries for what you are willing and not willing to compromise on as a leader. This includes your values, ethics, and principles. Knowing your non-negotiables can help you make decisions that align with your beliefs and ensure that you are leading in a way that is authentic to yourself.

RECAP and REFLECTION QUESTIONS

Knowing your skill set, values, and non-negotiables is critical for new and emerging leaders. It allows you to identify your strengths and weaknesses, communicate your worth to your team and stakeholders, and establish boundaries for your leadership style. By clearly understanding these components, you can build a strong foundation for your leadership and set yourself up for success in your career.

Reflective Questions:

  1. What are your top three leadership skills, and how do they contribute to your leadership style?
  2. What is one value essential to your leadership, and how do you incorporate it into your decision-making process?
  3. What is one non-negotiable you have established for yourself as a leader, and how has it helped you maintain authenticity in your role?
