Practices for our Leaders of Leaders

These are five skills we want every Leader of Leaders to cultivate so that you show up at your best for your team.

These support the enterprise-level business strategy that executive leaders are responsible for. Set goals and give team members direction and encouragement to work toward them.

Have regular, open conversations with your team about their development, focusing on their leadership and functional expertise, and guiding with questions rather than providing prescriptive answers.

Conduct regular, transparent reviews. Document what you see and the plans you make together to guide their development.

Ensure leaders know the remit of their team, have the resources they need, and can build relationships with other teams to execute against the operational plan.

Create an open, trusting environment with clear promotion paths. Develop succession plans for new leaders, ensure they fulfil their critical role, and promote and demote based on documented merit.
