Are you Level 1, 2, or 3 Leader?

Growing one’s leadership abilities, regardless of role, needs to be a habit like “brushing one’s teeth”. To grow, however, you must first understand where your leadership skillset is. Here is a simple guide on how you can identify this:

Level 1: Beginner

1. You don’t hold yourself as a leader or understand how your behavior impacts your natural leadership style.
2. You don’t understand the distinction between leadership and managing (or being “a manager”).
3. Leadership is a title, or a position reserved for some, not all, from your perspective.

Level 2: Intermediate

1. You are a skilled manager and learning how to lead better using your natural leadership style
2. You have started on Track 1 and Track 2 Development which is both the development of hard technical or professional and soft personal and self-management skills as needed
3. You are beginning to see leadership opportunities in more situations and for everyone you work with.

Level 3: Advanced Conscious Competent Leader

1. You are aware that to get to this level you must understand the nature of your ego and the role it plays in how it “shows up”, to bench it
2. You understand the “selves” that make up what Dr. Hal Stone calls the Primary and Disowned aspects of your behavioral tendencies.
3. You have started to put in a “stop” program for yourself to do introspection and see what “support” really means to you and you have a daily process to make it happen.
