Great Leaders have a Coach and a Strategic Plan
We only grow when we are challenged by people more experienced than we are. This kind of outside mentoring increases our competence. Whether through a trade or professional association, consultant, management coach, or simply having the input of someone more experienced, great leaders seek the advice of experts so that they can be their best.
This view from the outside helps us see more clearly and increase our impact. Bill Gates has said, "Everyone needs a coach. It doesn't matter whether you're a basketball player, a tennis player, a gymnast or a bridge player."
Great leaders work from a written strategic plan no matter how small the task. They constantly measure their progress in achieving their objectives. More importantly, they are flexible and adjust the plan as needed.
