10 Roadblocks Holding You Back From More Success
Spending the majority of their daily hours running the company and managing employees, executives are often ‘time poor’ to develop themselves and learn the necessary tools to optimise their performance and stay cool under pressure.
A Harvard Medical School Study found that close to 96% of senior leaders feel somewhat burned out. A staggering 30% describe it as extreme and around 18% of leaders and executives are actively disengaged.
In addition, research has also shown that many executives don’t have “good self-awareness” for figuring out when they’re reaching the edge, because they are so focused on what’s happening on the outside – in their company – that they tend to be disconnected from themselves.
Paradoxically, while the importance of self and social awareness increases as one reaches the senior executive level, the capacity for self and social awareness decreases.
The more self and social awareness becomes an important skill to master for a leader to operate optimally, the less likely he/she find the time to develop that capacity.
Lost focus, irritability, resentment, dread, and lost productivity are some of the all too familiar visible signs of underlying ‘invisible’ mental roadblocks.
Having conducted extensive research on human behaviour, peak performance and leadership, and coached individuals from around the world, I’ve identified the most disruptive mental roadblocks that trap executives and prevent them from playing a bigger game.
If you currently have the impression that things are slipping through your hands, that you’ve reached an impasse or that you feel like you’ve just “hit the wall”, you may have encountered one of these roadblocks…
- ROADBLOCK #1 – Feeling disconnected from your work.
- ROADBLOCK #2 – Inability to manage change in a healthy way.
- ROADBLOCK #3 – Consumed by work to the point that other areas of your life are being neglected
- ROADBLOCK #4 – Constant overwhelm which impairs decision making and clarity of thinking.
- ROADBLOCK #5 – Feeling like an impostor because you have to ‘Play The Game’ at work
- ROADBLOCK #6 – Inability to self-regulate and thus experiencing the emotional roller coaster
- ROADBLOCK #7 – Difficulty or inability to manage internal conflicts within your team
- ROADBLOCK #8 – Lack of confidence which leads to procrastinating on the ‘Tough Stuff'
- ROADBLOCK #9 – Feeling bad and/or guilty because you don’t know how to tap into your full potential.
- ROADBLOCK #10 – Not having a sounding board to share your struggle within the company.
Being a senior executive carries tremendous responsibility. You’re expected to lead by example, setting almost superhuman standards – despite the fact that you face the same daily challenges as everyone else. Although being a very real issue, this is rarely acknowledged at the senior management level….
Ignoring those and pretending that “all is under control” is not the solution. If you find yourself dealing with one or more of those roadblocks, know that it’s OK to reach out and seek some help!
“Be strong enough to stand alone, smart enough to know when you need help, and brave enough to ask for it…”
Because ultimately, if you don’t take care of yourself, how will you be able to take care of your employees and the company…
In Nutshell:
What traps executives from achieving success and playing bigger are mostly mental and emotional roadblocks.
- The worst you can do is to deny them, suppress them, or ignore them.
- The best you can do is address them and seek help when needed.
You can do anything, but not everything…
