Talented leadership - what's your talent?Talented leadership is demonstrated by most people running a business or wishing to progress to senior executive or Board level in a company, if they wish to succeed. Talented leaders have high Emotional Intelligence as well as high Social Intelligence which they apply expertly to their leadership tool kit. There are many things that determine whether a leader is talented or not. One aspect of leadership is how well you use your core talent. Core talent is your Behavioural DNA for talented leadership it's your expertise, or how you behave your way to success, by following your personal success strategy. Good leaders know themselves well, they know how to articulate their expertise.
Through the N-Code, I re-discovered that I am about 'Leading the Way' and I know that I haven't really been doing that for some time. I know that I will be leading the way for many more people in the future - Andy Coote
Knowing your N-Code® can enable you to utilise your leadership talent.
To be more influential you need to be aware of your own talents and limitations as well as understanding what motivates others.
Eleanor Roosevelt said - What if ... Somehow we learn who we really are and then live with that decision?I believe that if we could make this alignment, it would be this that made the difference, between one leader and another. Talented leadership includes having enough self knowledge to perform at your best and for them to engender willing followers. Inspired communication - David's story Being flexible in how you apply your leadership skills can enable you to achieve the best results from and for your team. Leaders should truly understand what their key innate behavioural skills are and the best way to use them to achieve maximum results. This is how knowledge of your core talent can be invaluable. If you can ensure that everything you do is aligned to your Behavioural DNA then you will be more successful in your endeavours and your performance will improve. Most leaders struggle, from time to time, to balance the time they have available over the things that they feel they must achieve. Integration of your N-Code® enables you to decide instantly whether what you are doing or about to do will be successful, or increase your performance. It enables you to be more aware of what works or doesn't work on an accelerated basis. Large corporations and smaller businesses have learnt how to use their leaders' N-Codes® to enable their teams to radically increase their performance and become more successful. One strategic team within a FTSE 100 company described how they used their N-Codes®:
Knowing our N-Codes® allowed us to immediately split up the project and delegate tasks in the most efficient way. Instead of spending hours discussing the best course of action it was instantly clear who was the best person for each section of the task, allowing us more time to actually get the job done.
Leadership is about being able to focus on the results that need to be achieved and not the tasks that need to be done.
