So, so when I thought about that I just thought it was, it’s interesting that it seems like people have to show their leaders before they’re given leadership authority or recognize this leader, leader’s. They’re to learn to lead it and then lead to make Captain and be a Captain. It’s recognized that they’re going to fail at it for some time, but they’re not, they are really to lead the squad there.

They will make somebody a Second Lieutenant and put them in charge of a squad and a platoon, and their job actually is to learn how to be a leader in that time. And they actually turn leaders into leaders before they’re ready, not when they show something that they’re ready. And that’s a frustrating place to be.ĬURT NICKISCH: It made me think of, and this is a digression we may take out of the interview, but thinking about this made me think about how the U.S. They simply give these large, general buckets that leave people feeling a little bit confused in terms of I understand what you mean, but I don’t know what to do on Monday. Or, for you to disagree a little differently than you do. There’s something that comes up, but when it comes to actually delivering say a performance review, they’re not very good at actually saying, let me tell you what it would look like for you to be more influential. They haven’t really figured out how to manage the relationships. Or, it can be another version of you know, they’re a little off putting. SUZANNE PETERSON: It absolutely is and all too often when we’re talking to managers of people we coach and we simply say, what’s the biggest challenge here? Usually we’ll hear something like, you know they’re just not really ready yet to sit at the table.
It’s not only your own awareness, but also the awareness of managers above you as part of the problem. I mean, hey, I was thinking about, well let me just end it there. Style matters and it tends to be something that we find people are constantly trying to navigate, but it isn’t always at the level of awareness of what am I doing, or not doing that really makes a difference in how I’m perceived?ĬURT NICKISCH: It sounds like it’s not only your own awareness, but also the awareness of managers above you. I mean whether you are trying to be more collaborative with a team, whether you want to impress that new father-in-law, whether you’re trying to influence your spouse, be more authoritative with your kids, be a trusted friend, hoping to impress team, you team at the University that you’re going to work with at a group, at an MBA class. And it’s, it truly is a squishy challenge and I have to tell you as much as this applies to people at work, what we find is this is relevant to anybody. Happy to be here.ĬURT NICKISCH: Does that situation I just described sound familiar? SUZANNE PETERSON: Thanks so much for having me Curt. Stutman of the HBR article, “How to Develop Your Leadership Style: Concrete Advice for a Squishy Challenge.” Suzanne, thanks for coming on the show. She’s also a partner at the consultancy CRA and she’s the coauthor with Robin Abramson and R.K. Suzanne Peterson is an associate professor of leadership at the Thunderbird School of Management at Arizona State University. Our guest today has some advice for this situation: how to know your own leadership styles, how to understand how others see it, or don’t, and then how to change your behavior so that you can break through to the next level. And some people show it much better than others. For too many superiors, leadership is a vibe that someone gives off and some people give it off more evidently than others. But it’s common that when it comes to leadership to identify leaders that it’s a bit squishy. Which, to be honest, is not very helpful. They’re missing a certain something – something intangible.
They get the feedback that they’re not ready for a promotion or a new project and when they ask why, no one puts a finger on it. There’s a roadblock many people run into at work. Peterson is a coauthor of the HBR article “ How to Develop Your Leadership Style: Concrete Advice for a Squishy Challenge.”ĬURT NICKISCH: Welcome to the HBR IdeaCast from Harvard Business Review. She explains how to adopt markers of different leadership styles to be seen as both influential and likable.
#ANOTHER WORD FOR VIBE PROFESSIONAL#
She argues aspiring managers can intentionally alter their everyday interactions in small ways to have a large influence on their professional reputation. Suzanne Peterson, associate professor at Thunderbird School of Global Management, says many talented professionals get held back from leadership roles because of relatively intangible reasons.
