I've not read anything in the "leadership" literature about the confluence of awareness, confidence, and competence. Yet I am becoming more certain with every conversation I'm having that we're onto something here! Dennis

It's very possible that I'll follow this article with additional focus on each of these three characteristics. So, I'm making this request. If you have a comment you'd like to make or a question you'd like me to address about either confidence, competence, or awareness, please share your perspective. I'll welcome the opportunity to ponder your observation or question and think about how to make some relevant information available to all my readers.
Meanwhile, I hope you find value in “Confidence, Competence, and Awareness.” Dennis My objective in my articles is to give practical, clear direction to leaders for how they can be more effective. Last week's article and this week's article may feel like marketing for coaches. I apologize for that.
The audience for the teleconference from which this article was taken was other coaches. I took the subject matter intended for coaches and worked to transform the information such that it would be encouraging for leaders. I hope I was successful. I invite your feedback on this second part of “Why Would A Leader Need a Coach?” Dennis A couple of weeks ago, I was invited to lead a teleconference of one of the coach associations of which I am a member. The topic was the same as this week’s article, “Why Would a Leader Need a Coach?”
I’ve worked to compress the hour’s presentation into two articles. I cover half my points in this week’s article; the other half will be in next week’s article. If you'd like to listen to the entire hour of the teleconference, go to www.christiancoaches.com. In the upper right-hand portion of the page are the words "Why Leaders Need Coaching." Click on that link and it will take you to the recorded teleconference. Dennis The classroom is not the place to learn leadership skills. But learning leadership skills while performing your regular work requires intentional effort. It can be done. I help organizations and individual leaders do it all the time. This week's article “Where Can You Go to Learn Leadership?” gives you the keys.
Dennis It's not easy to identify an organizational perspective. The term used to describe the norms, values, and perceptions of a group is "culture." You may believe you could define your organization's culture, but it's usually very hard to put into words! And until you can do that, it's hard to align the organization and its leaders on action steps designed to improve that culture.
