Hold up the mirror: Identify leadership challenges from self and other perspective. Recognize character strengths and weaknesses, gaps in leadership skills, attitudes, and mindset. Clarify aspirations on the leader you want to become. Align aspirations with organizational goals and strategy. Calibrate goals to size of gap and capacity to stretch. Define metrics and success indicators. Use the compass and the map road. Develop general strategies and specific tactics. Identify external support and resources needed, internal resources and actions required and relational components. Live the challenge of change: Practice the desired leadership skills in coaching simulations. Apply style and skills in "real time." Receive support for staying conscious through difficult situations. Translate acquired skills into business results. Make the leadership weigh in through ongoing feedback. Measure progress versus goals. Re-evaluate and recommit to goals. Create a self-directed learning agenda going forward.
