How to Get a Leadership Mindset

One of the most common struggles of first-time managers is shifting their mindset to be more like a leadership mindset. It takes conscious effort to re-prioritize their values away from contributing individually towards facilitating the contribution of others. To put it simply: new managers tend to still think about what they need to “do” vs. how they can “lead” others to accomplish the projects at hand.

At Dale Carnegie of Orange County, we are continuously training professionals to become better leaders, presenters, communicators, and sales professionals. Our programs engrain new skills and allow you to put them into practice. The tool below is one of the many we use to help new managers practice their new way of thinking.

Changing Your Mindset From Team Member to a Leadership Mindset

Changing that mindset is difficult because it requires constant reflection on daily responses to workplace situations. It is only through this reflection that self-awareness ultimately shifts your mindset.

To help better reflect on your own approach, Dale Carnegie has developed a Team Member vs. Leader Mindset comparison chart. See it here: http://bit.ly/2XeTTdN
