Leadership Mindset

With our second week coming to an end in this first Mastery Class we discuss alot of new things. One of the first things I learned were the different Behaviourist Theories vs the Functional theories. We discussed a lot of different Questions like:

Are leaders born or bred?
What’s the difference between responsibility vs accountability?
What is leadership?

So I was prepared when I was approached with this question by a great Regional Sales Manager.

One of my sales reps asked about a leadership position that was available and if I personally thought he was ready to make this Management role. We discussed a couple different things. I wanted to understand his leadership style and I walked him through different scenarios to understand how he would handle it.

We had an excellent conversation about how he would report this back to me and handle different responsibilities and I was extremely impressed by his answers. He was prepared and handled these questions with confidence and extreme poise. This was an impromptu meeting and I was proud. As customer centric, and employee centric organization we always look for leaders we can mold. Duplicate with in our organization is always extremely important and I personally believe we found our next leader ready to take charge.

With the information I was given in this last two weeks I was able to identify a future leader within my organization.
