Monthly Best Praxis for Elevating Your Leadership
The best leaders don’t just execute—they refine and elevate how they lead. As a senior leader, your ability to drive strategy, influence outcomes, and develop others is shaped by your unique strengths and leadership behaviors. But how often do you step back to assess and refine them?
Sharpening Your Leadership Edge
Great leadership isn’t about perfection—it’s about being strategic. The most successful SVPs and executives excel because they:
✅ Leverage Their Strengths – They understand their differentiators and apply them effectively.
✅ Align with Organizational Needs – They continuously adapt to evolving business challenges.
✅ Define Leadership Behaviors – They experiment, refine, and implement leadership practices that create impact.
Success comes from knowing how to apply your strengths to meet the needs of your role and context.

What is Needed from You as a Leader?
Your impact as a leader isn’t just about what you accomplish—it’s about how you lead. Leadership and management competencies define the key behaviors and expectations required for success.
Competencies are more than a checklist; they are observable patterns of behavior that influence decision-making, team dynamics, and organizational outcomes. Your ability to effectively apply competencies depends on a combination of:
🔹 Skills – The technical and strategic expertise you bring to the table
🔹 Knowledge – Insights gained from experience and continuous learning
🔹 Personal Attributes – Your mindset, adaptability, and leadership presence
🔹 Context – The unique demands of your role, industry, and company culture
When you intentionally refine and apply your leadership competencies, you maximize your influence, drive business performance, and prepare for what’s next in your career.
