- “The focus of our practice is to better enable individuals, the team, and organizations, to transition to increased levels of effectiveness and impact from their current situation.
- About Leadership Competencies and how to increase your impact: The role of branding … defining personal brand … understand the 3 parts”: Individuals, teams, and organizations …all/each must transition from their present levels of effectiveness to higher levels of impact.
- Example of how others see you: When you have a product, you position the product in a certain way so that it’s going to be attractive to the ultimate consumer; and, that has to do with understanding the brand benefits a consumer would care about. Ask yourself: Who is your customer?
- Individuals also need to be aware there is a perspective, a way they are viewed, and the way they position themselves from the standpoint of what’s distinctive about them. Think about how you want individuals throughout the organization to appreciate you, your capabilities.
- Individuals must identify what their aspirations or goal happens to be; their distinctive competence.
- What makes you different from other people?
- What is the unique character and competence you bring positioning yourself in this particular job or in another job, and also it has to do with the value system you have in place, whether that value system is aligned very well with the organization in a way that’s going to be productive for you, and for the company.
- As a result of the pandemic and all the disruption, leaders and managers, indeed all of us, should re-examine their “brand” and how it communicates.”
