“Too little”?What inhibits you—what’s holding you back?What’s the worst that could happen if you did it more?

SUMMARY
Personality + Behavior (360) assessment are critical and complementary tools inself-awareness-based leadership development
You need an overarching framework for understanding personality-leadershiprelationships as well as for guiding development
Versatility is vital to leading in a VUCA world—but it is hard because leadershave to adapt beyond their comfort zones
A lot of development is integrating opposing capabilities (outer & inner work) Changing your reputation (behavior) requires changing your identity (mindset) Insight and will are not enough: you need a follow-through structure to guide
and reinforce the effort Development works best as a team sport
Big take-aways

Is strategic self-awareness and versatility in termsof Forceful-Enabling and Strategic-Operational allit takes to lead in a VUCA world? Probably not But they are a big part of it And fewer than 1 in 10 leaders have this part down
