Recommendation

According to executive coach Ritu Gupta Mehrish, all leaders, at some point, feel “blocked.” Drawing on her experience working with organizations like P&G, Mehrish points out that while information on how leaders can boost their effectiveness abounds, finding practical help for dealing with your emotions if you’re in a leadership position is another story. In the past, people didn’t discuss what she dubs “leader’s block,” but organizations can’t survive if their leaders feel unable to perform well. The solution, Mehrish says, is to identify what may be blocking your leaders, and take steps to help them return to full effectiveness.

Take-Aways

  • Leaders can find it hard to address their emotional concerns.
  • Most often, executives face leader’s block several years into their career.
  • When conditions are mostly static, leader’s block does not significantly challenge people or their organizations.
