You’re much better suited to sweep the eggshells out of the way and engage to either build a better relationship or establish the basis for ending the relationship. <div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://artpetty.com/2011/01/24/leadership-caffeine-if-youre-walking-on-eggshells-something-is-wrong/' addthis:title='Leadership Caffeine: If You&#8217;re Walking on Eggshells, Something is Wrong ' ><a href="//addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&#38;username=xa-4d2b47597ad291fb" class="addthis_button_compact">Share</a><span class="addthis_separator">&#124;</span><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a></div>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I grew up to the refrain of “be a leader, not a follower,” and the drive to lead is part of who I am. Part and parcel of that has been a natural resistance through much of my early career to the notion that, “to be a good leader, you need to be a good follower.” For me, and I know for many others, our ambition is to drive change, right wrongs and challenge the status quo and to advance. Mentally, it’s hard to connect those core professional drives with the passive and even weak sounding notion of “following.”<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://artpetty.com/2010/10/18/leadership-caffeine-strengthen-as-a-leader-by-developing-as-a-follower/' addthis:title='Leadership Caffeine: Strengthen as a Leader by Developing as a Follower ' ><a href="//addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&#38;username=xa-4d2b47597ad291fb" class="addthis_button_compact">Share</a><span class="addthis_separator">&#124;</span><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a></div>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The first four questions in this series challenged you to think through issues that are both philosophical and powerfully practical: Why do you want to lead? Do you understand the true role of a leader? Do you understand that the skills that made you successful as an individual contributor are not the skills that will carry you forward? Are you prepared to give up your domain expertise as your foundation for results?
If you've made it through the investigation of questions 1-4, it's time for you to focus in on what it takes to be successful as a leader.<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://artpetty.com/2010/07/08/want-to-lead-what-skills-do-i-need-to-succeed-5-of-7/' addthis:title='Want to Lead?

I'll explore each question here at Building Better Leaders through individual "Leadership Tip of the Day" posts, offering ideas for investigation.

While the first question focused on motivation, the second question goes squarely to understanding.<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://artpetty.com/2010/06/24/want-to-lead-answer-these-questions-2-of-7/' addthis:title='Want to Lead?

		<description><![CDATA[Firms and teams run into natural Tripping Points in the form of infrastructure and know-how as they work to grow a firm from start-up to $10 million or from $10 million to $25 million and so on.  Often, the only viable solution to get beyond a Tripping Point is to retool the management team with people that have experience creating the infrastructure and programs/teams/processes needed to reach the next few levels.  I can easily apply Tripping Point thinking to the challenges that we as professionals face in advancing our careers and in particular, in developing as leaders.  Awareness of your prospective Tripping Points is an important first step in creating your personal and professional development plan.<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://artpetty.com/2010/06/18/tripping-points-and-the-leader/' addthis:title='Tripping Points and the Leader ' ><a href="//addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&#38;username=xa-4d2b47597ad291fb" class="addthis_button_compact">Share</a><span class="addthis_separator">&#124;</span><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a></div>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As an early career leader, you have little depth or breadth in your leadership voice. You struggle or at least strive to be relevant to your team members and your organization, and many flail in the process. Over time as you gain experience, learn and build confidence, a complex leadership personality begins to emerge.  This is what those around you will take as your style, but you know that it is much more than an outward fashion statement.  It’s who you are as a person that also happens to serve as a leader.<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://artpetty.com/2010/03/24/it-takes-time-and-experience-to-find-your-leadership-voice/' addthis:title='It Takes Time and Experience to Find Your Leadership Voice ' ><a href="//addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&#38;username=xa-4d2b47597ad291fb" class="addthis_button_compact">Share</a><span class="addthis_separator">&#124;</span><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a></div>]]></description>

Much like the famous trio of Scarecrow, Lion and Tin Woodman of Oz-fame, they didn’t really need the Wizard to bestow a brain, courage or a heart, and you don’t need someone to anoint you as a leader before you can start learning and practicing. The great news is that today’s organizations are filled with opportunities for you to easily and informally develop both your leadership and your followership skills.<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://artpetty.com/2009/11/15/leadership-caffeine-dont-wait-for-the-title-to-start-leading/' addthis:title='Leadership Caffeine-Don&#8217;t Wait for the Title to Start Leading ' ><a href="//addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&#38;username=xa-4d2b47597ad291fb" class="addthis_button_compact">Share</a><span class="addthis_separator">&#124;</span><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a></div>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A note from Art: My recent post, "Things I Wish Someone Would Have Told Me When I Became a Leader," seemed to strike a familiar chord for many.  I'm thrilled that it struck a chord for someone that I've invited to guest post for quite awhile and until now, couldn't quite convince to put pen to paper.  A good colleague and friend, Joe Zurawski, joins us today with his thoughts on early leadership missteps and lessons learned the hard way.<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://artpetty.com/2009/08/05/a-fresh-voice-on-a-popular-topic-things-i-wish-i-knew-when-i-became-a-leader/' addthis:title='A Fresh Voice on a Popular Topic: &#8220;Things I Wish I Knew When I Became a Leader&#8221; ' ><a href="//addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&#38;username=xa-4d2b47597ad291fb" class="addthis_button_compact">Share</a><span class="addthis_separator">&#124;</span><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a></div>]]></description>

Through a recent and on-going series of interviews with senior executives as well as product managers across a variety of technology and manufacturing organizations, it is becoming clear that more and more organizations recognize the potential for product management to create tremendous value.  It is also clear that enlightened executives increasingly recognize that the professionals that wok in product management roles are a ready-made source of high potential contributors and emerging leaders.  

Senior executives are looking for their emerging senior contributors in product management to bring more advanced skills to the party, in the areas of: Leadership, Strategic Thinking, Executive Presence and Process Optimization.<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://artpetty.com/2009/02/17/the-challenge-and-opportunity-of-the-product-manager/' addthis:title='The Challenge and Opportunity of the Product Manager ' ><a href="//addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&#38;username=xa-4d2b47597ad291fb" class="addthis_button_compact">Share</a><span class="addthis_separator">&#124;</span><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a></div>]]></description>
