The biggest mistake leaders make this time of the year …..

Q4 is usually the time of the year when many organizations and leaders get into annual business planning cycle

I am sure some of you would also be in the same boat

You set business goals

Reduce cost by xx%

Increase revenues by yy%

Then you start tracking these goals closely throughout the year

And then same time next year, you repeat the same exercise right ?

I believe this is a flawed approach

And you know what the biggest problem with this approach is ?

You focus on what you need to DO as a leader

Goals and actions

The DOING part

But guess what ?

As a leader, you need to figure out something else first

Something very core, very foundational

And that is…

Who you want to BE as a leader ?

Your BEING part

Most leaders make the mistake of putting “doing” before “being”

“Beingness” comes from a place of desire and intention :

What do you want people to remember you for ?

What really drives you ?

What impact you want to create ?

What is your true intention as a leader ?

Because once you are able to figure out who you want to be

Every action and decision you take should align with it
