The Leadership Mirror

Leaders need to be self-reflective because of their ability to impact the organization. They must maintain their focus on those things that make the difference between success and failure. I have developed a tool called the Leadership Mirror that I use to help leaders maintain focus. It consists of 15 questions that a leader answers on a regular basis. The first five questions include:

• How do I develop a vision or strategy for my team that is linked to business success?

• How do I capture my vision and translate it into a tangible sense of direction that people can get behind and support?

• How will I keep the vision and strategy alive and fresh?

• How will I build and maintain an organization that generates great results?

• How will I know if there are issues or problems with alignment within my team?
