Description
It is tough being a leader, so where does your strength come from?
Leadership is about achieving exceptional outcomes by engaging with others so they are happy to give that extra effort, willingly and enthusiastically, to achieve those outcomes.
Leadership matters. It's a must for high performance environments.
Leadership is not easy. Mindset and attitude matters.
Mental toughness describes the invisible mental approach that everyone adopts whatever they do. It is a major element in leadership. Understanding your mental toughness profile enables you to be aware of your mental approach to this challenge. It supports:
Purpose- from which goals stem, focus on those goals and self-belief
and
Engagement- building productive relationships with others.
The concept also provides a framework through which we can understand and develop others.
Incredibly well-evidenced, today we can assess this with confidence - making the invisible visible.
Understanding and developing mental toughness is a vital part of a leader's skill set.
Key takeaways
