In today's competitive business environment, more and more people are seeking something that will give them that extra edge: the help of a professional business coach. No longer considered a luxury enjoyed by only a few CEOs, business coaches are frequently consulted by individuals and organizations looking for guidance on everything from how to resolve conflicts, build successful teams and develop next generation leaders.
Here are a few of Parten's suggestions on how to move your career forward:
* Be humble but driven. Effective leaders are never arrogant, but they are dedicated to their work and tenacious about their business goals.
* Be competent in your area or skill. Nothing is worse than an incompetent leader who believes otherwise.
* Have deep personal convictions. No business leader should be without a strong moral compass, especially in times of crisis.
* Have a vision of where you want your business, your career to go, and put it into written form.
* Your word is your bond. "Character and integrity are very important," says Parten. "You must be considered trustworthy to be effective."
* Executive polish and presence are important. You should be comfortable in any setting.
* Develop your successors. Leaders must foster critical skills in those around them and develop the people who will be next in line. "This will perpetuate success," adds Parten.
* Understand that as important as a good IQ is, it's even more important in the business world to have a strong EQ (Emotional Intelligence Quotient).
