Practice.
On today’s episode, I share why practicing your leadership skills is critical for becoming a high-performing leader. I explain why learning a new skill or starting a new business or project can put you at a higher risk of throwing in the towel and giving up. I also explain the difference between complex skills and component skills, the importance of identifying your key component skills, and share strategies to help you practice - and master - your component skills.
“When you think about high-performers - they spend a ton of time practicing their skills.” - Eleanor Beaton
