Throughout your executive track program, you have been asked to either reflect on and/or identify things like your leadership style, your strengths, and your weaknesses.
As an executive leader, you will likely have the opportunity to build a team around you. This is one place where knowing your strengths, but more importantly, your weaknesses are important. The wise leader builds a team with colleagues who have strengths that complement the leader’s weaknesses.
Scenario: You have been promoted to the position of Sr. VP of a new organization department. You are given the opportunity to hire three Associate VPs to report to you.
Understanding your own strengths and weaknesses, what qualities or characteristics will you look for in candidates that will fill the gaps that you have? How will this contribute to your success in your new position?
