Developing leadership confidence

"All too often in my career, I saw the quiet achievers passed over for promotions. Their over-confident (and far less competent) peers would instead progress.

Often our judgment as to whether or not we will promote someone is to ask them if they have the desire to do so. This is fraught with issues as less confident people will often feel that they need to develop more experience before they say 'yes'.

Or sometimes they've had a bad experience with a manager or previous role that has knocked their confidence.

My role is to unlock whatever it is that is holding them back and getting them feeling good about themselves again. Then we make a plan for all the career goals they are going to achieve."
