Are you afraid to lead? A recent study came out that shows the importance of self-identity when it comes to leadership. Seeing yourself as a leader is an important first step on the path toward becoming one, but it’s not uncommon for people to feel uncomfortable with thinking of themselves as leaders.
A series of studies by the Academy of Management with more than 1,700 participants, including full-time employees, MBA students and U.S. Air Force cadets, found that the more people worried about the reputational risks of being a leader, the less likely they were to identify as one.
Whether charitable or not, sometimes you want an audit when your staff leadership changes, or if you’re a larger organization, you probably will want to have an annual audit conducted. (The Office of Management and Budget requires an audit when a nonprofit spends more than $500,000 in federal funds in a year.) Some financial institutions require an audit for loan covenants.
So, what holds people back from seeing themselves as leaders? Basically, three things. Discover what they are at https://www.managegroup.com/leadership-tips-are-you-afraid-to-lead/ .
