Didn't get promoted into that Director position because you lack gravitas? Vague feedback doesn't help you close the gap. Ask for examples. What would you have done differently? What examples can your leader provide? That's feedback you can act on. Gravitas is not actionable.
Defensiveness is a waste of energy. Make feedback useful by treating it as a data point. When you get feedback you deem unfair, think: What would they have had to see to arrive at it? That's the gap you can close and it's usually fixable and leading somewhere better.
Put your insecurities away and get on with achieving your goals. Reflect and remind yourself that an accurate criticism is the most valuable feedback you can receive.
Imagine how silly and unproductive it would be to respond to your ski instructor as if he were blaming you when he told you that you fell because you didn't shift your weight properly. It's no different if a supervisor points out a flaw in your work process.
Fix it and move on. #principleoftheday

Stop waiting until you have the perfect answer.
Transparency isn't about having all the answers.
It's sharing what you know, where you're headed as an organization, and what's still unfolding.
Ignore it and avoid addressing the unknown and your employ...

Tomorrow at 11 AM EST, I’ll make self-advocacy feel less “salesy” for you and give you three levers you can apply right away.
If your best work is not getting noticed, it’s because you're not memorable to decision-makers. Let’s change that.

If self-advocacy feels like a "necessary evil" -- join the event on Wednesday and let me show you how you can humbly, effectively self-advocate.

AI impacts leaders, too. With AI leveling the playing field in many areas, how do you stand out? Let me show you on Friday:

Clients forget ~70% of a coaching session or training within 24 hours. That's the real reason insight doesn't turn into change.
Join a live event on Aug 13 on closing that gap with AI-powered practice between sessions: joinleland.com/event/closing…
AI isn't replacing leaders.
But it is exposing the ones who haven't developed high-stakes communication skills. Join my live to walk away with actions that help you close the gap on three crucial #leadership skills. joinleland.com/event/the-lea…
AI isn't your competition. But for leaders lacking key skills, AI places them in bright light with nowhere to hide.
Join my event on Leland tomorrow to talk about what leadership gaps AI is exposing, and what to do about it:

Communication is a skill to develop, not a talent you either have or lack.
It takes practice - just like tennis. You won't get to Wimbledon by reading books about tennis and occasionally swinging the racket. zaradigm.com/organizational-…

“Don’t get a seat at the table. Set the table.”
July Franco shows what that really looks like.
She's moved from being a rare female Marine Gunnery Sergeant to a 2 x business owner.

Sometimes staying authentic means walking away from roles or cultures that fundamentally conflict with who you are.
This isn't career suicide; it's career strategy.
