“I’m an executive in our company. I don’t need leadership training!” I would venture to guess that the majority of people who are members of a company’s executive team would think, if not actually say, these words. But if we asked those same executives if someone else on their team needed to improve their leadership skills, we’d get an irrefutable “Yes!” I find it interesting that we can look around the table and point fingers at those who demonstrate poor leadership practices at the same time we fail to recognize our own behaviors are far less than leader-like!
