As individuals advance in senior leadership roles, developmental feedback is often withheld, and many leaders think that because they are not getting it, they don't need it. Consequently, many leaders hit a plateau in their own personal and professional development. In effect, they stop growing.
Leaders Need Feedback
In the early stages of their careers, many successful leaders were given the guidance and support they needed to become their best. They were regularly monitored, coached and mentored, but as they moved up the ladder of success, the sources of honest and useful feedback became more difficult to find. After a certain point, they were left to their own devices to figure things out.
Their success, and the lack of critical feedback, usually creates a false sense of wellbeing, which can result in missing the signs that indicate the need for growth and development. By the time negative perceptions come to light, personal and professional reputations may have already suffered significant consequences.
Getting The Help You Need
Even the most outstanding leaders sometimes find themselves off track and unaligned with their most important values. Intelligent leaders understand this, and realize that they must actively seek the information they need to continually develop their individual and professional behaviors. They are not afraid of feedback. In fact, they crave it. They use this information to discover blind spots and close the gaps between their current leadership style and the leader they desire to become.
