How do use your executive muscle?
To drive immediate action or influence others to act?
Push statements that drive others to action or ask bold questions that challenge people to play at their best?
Front load your messages with detailed information and or outline clear consequences for actions and results?
Do you use your executive muscle to be liked or to be respected?
Build boundaries so people play it safe or open the gates and encourage people to be bold, and from time to time, fail?
Use your power to push people or to pull them towards something?
In the life of an executive leader, decisions are rarely black and white. The balance between these approaches significantly impacts your leadership longevity and the quality of you followership.
How consciously are you flexing your executive muscle?
