We have all heard the term, Planned Obsolescence. Planned obsolescence describes the practice of designing products to break quickly or become obsolete in the short to mid-term. But how does this apply to leadership? How often have you started a new position, or know of others who did, and were very excited to start proving themselves in the new role? However, within a relatively short period of time were completely exhausted, cynical of the organization, or feeling isolated? Have you or your acquaintances taken these problems home only to start creating havoc in your personal life and family relationships? How many times have you seen these issues become the demise of a person's position, or perhaps their career? Quite possibly it is because there was a significant lack of leadership development both before and during your role in that management position. Remember that your ability to do your job, and lead effectively are two completely different sets of skills that must go hand in hand to be effective. Leadership burnout is a very real issue but can be avoided if you take the steps to ensure you have the skills and talents necessary, and resources available for success in a leadership role.
Rich and Maikel talk about how to avoid implementing your own obsolescence in this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.
