WILMINGTON, NC, June 21, 2023 /24-7PressRelease/ — Taking on a new leadership role is a major decision, as there are a number of considerations. These might include embracing fresh or alternative responsibilities, pondering the financial ramifications, contemplating one’s career path, and delving into the realm of emotions – the list goes on and on. Yet none holds greater significance than the shift in mindset needed to embrace this new leadership position. This frequently demands that we perceive familiar elements from an entirely new perspective – but how do we actually accomplish that?

Top motivational speaker and bestselling author Rocky Romanella addressed this subject in a recent newsletter article. In that piece, he wrote in part:

Accepting your role is an important topic, not only when you are accepting a new position or additional responsibilities, but also an important one when changes are happening in your current position or inside the organization.

I believe there are 4 keys to this acceptance.

1. Accept Your Leadership role and all that comes with it
2. Set clear boundaries for all to follow
3. Communicate effectively with everyone you lead
4. Take action to get the results you want and need

Let’s discuss the actions steps you will need to understand, embrace and accept on your acceptance journey to success.

1. You are the leader – the role model. The reality and this new reality must be reflected in your attitude, your approach, and most importantly, through your behaviors. Everything you do speaks to Who you are, What you stand for and What you will not compromise. This is especially critical during an organizational change.

A) You are The Brand Ambassador
B) You get things done through others

D) You become familiar with organizational policies, procedures, and regulations to protect your people, your company and your family
E) You become a learning machine and Lead by example. You avoid passing the buck and when it doubt, do the work to find the answer

2. Brand Ambassador. You welcome all new people. Sit with all new management and review with them the values, the mission, and goals of the organization. You understanding the changes the organization is trying to make. You set the tone.

A) Without a road map and a clear understanding of the “rules of the road”, it can be harder for employees to get to know where they need to go and where we need them to go.
B) Understanding what you and the company expect from them and what they can expect from you is paramount to their success, the company’s success and ultimately your success. Be clear on the:
1) Policies and Procedures
2) Behaviors and Actions

3. The Art of Communication is the language of Leadership.
A) Inform people of the things they need to do and need to know to do their jobs
B) Instruct on what and how
C) Learn what employees, customer and other departments need
D) Clarify expectations, roles, and responsibilities along with time frames

F) Motivate your team to higher levels of performance satisfaction
G) Receive and understand input, feedback, questions, and concerns
H) Correct performance and behavior problems
I) Commend and reinforce ” A Job Well Done”

4. Act. Begin Somewhere. You cannot build a reputation on what you intend to do.
A) Analyze the issues and or situation and collect and consider all available facts
B) Consult with others. Collect information from everyone and at all levels affected.
C) Tailor a strategy. Develop a written plan, a well-thought-out plan with timelines, specific activities and roles and responsibilities.
D) Implement the plan and initiate the actions you have identified. Coordinate and oversee the plans going forward.
