Ask The NAEM Board: What Are You Doing To Ensure You Continue To Grow As A Leader?
Being thrust into a leadership role fairly early in my career, it was important that I was managed by excellent leaders, who believed in my abilities and provided opportunities for me to learn on the job. Leading projects, leading teams and managing direct reports while being coached are all ways I have developed leadership skills. In addition, being active in organizations like NAEM provides opportunities to present and share ideas with other professionals. Finally, I have found the American Management Association classes to be helpful, allowing me to become more self-aware in certain situations.
