To stay at the mountaintop in your current role and position yourself for career progression, it’s crucial to continually develop new skills and adapt to changing industry requirements and expectations.  

Recently, Gallup researchers conducted a study involving more than 550 job roles and 360 unique job competencies. It showed that good leaders achieve success, despite varied roles, organizations, and! industries, by focusing on the behaviours within these seven expectations:

1. Building Relationships: Building trust and strong connections with others to achieve common goals and effectively collaborate.
2. Developing People: Fostering growth and development in others through strengths identification, clear expectations, and coaching.
3. Driving Change: Setting clear goals and leading purposeful efforts to align work with the company’s vision.
4. Inspiring Others: Motivating and influencing performance through positivity, vision, confidence, and recognition.
5. Thinking Critically: Gathering information, evaluating it, applying knowledge, and solving problems effectively.
6. Communicating Clearly: Listening actively, conveying information concisely, and remaining open to different opinions.
7. Creating Accountability: Identifying consequences and holding oneself and others accountable for their performance.
