You don\u2019t have to guess whether you\u2019re growing as a leader. You can take a simple test to know for sure.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Imagine if you could somehow really tell if all the leadership books you are reading and the seminars you are attending are paying off.<\/p>\n

Without a reliable set of indicators to gauge the impact of your development plan you could be spinning your wheels. On the other hand, when you can recognize the indicators of progress it can give you tremendous personal momentum.<\/p>\n

So, how do you do it? How do you know if you are actually growing as a leader?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here are 3 indicators to look for\u2026<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0You are attracting higher capacity leaders into your orbit<\/h3>\n

John Maxwell has rightly pointed out that if you are a \u201c6\u201d or a \u201c7\u201d as a leader, you will never attract \u201c8\u2019s\u201d and \u201c9\u2019s\u201d. You will only be able to lead \u201c4\u2019s\u201d and \u201c5\u2019s\u201d.<\/p>\n

But if you are actually growing as a leader, one of the first indicators will be that those high capacity leaders will begin to be drawn to you.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0Your opinion is not only being heard, it is being sought out<\/h3>\n

Watch what happens around a discussion table when it\u2019s time for a key decision to be made.<\/p>\n

Long before there\u2019s a show of hands, long before the vote is taken, the discussion leader will say something like, \u201cSo, what do the rest of you think?\u201d<\/p>\n

At that moment, watch which way everyone\u2019s head turns.<\/p>\n

If you are growing in your leadership, then increasingly those heads will turn towards you.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0You are producing more leaders<\/h3>\n

Leadership production is a key indicator of leadership growth.<\/p>\n

Because,\u00a0growing leaders produce growing leaders<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

If you are indeed growing in\u00a0your<\/em>\u00a0leadership then you should see evidence of a growing number of leaders emerging whom you are building into.<\/p>\n

So, over time, watch for these unmistakable indicators to become increasingly evident in your life.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ll be signaling that your leadership development efforts are paying off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
