By Matthew Stone<\/h6>\n
Hello. Servus. Tere! We hope the week is going well. It\u2019s a scene of purple and green down here at Leaders HQ in Wimbledon. With The Championships a short walk away, we\u2019re all keeping an eye on the tennis, but have other great upcoming series or tournaments like the Ashes, Women\u2019s World Cup, and men\u2019s Rugby Union World Cup just round the corner.<\/h6>\n

Theme of the week: self-development and growth\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is a fair bit of discussion and content around how and what leaders can do to grow and focus on developing themselves.
\nLeaders and managers today must balance their day-to-day work with multiple \u2018ands\u2019, such as delivering on objectives and thinking strategically. Another \u2018and\u2019 is focusing on their self-development, but making time for it is easier said than done \u2013 here\u2019s how you can.<\/a><\/p>\n

However, leaders don\u2019t usually just have to worry about managing themselves, as they will have other people to manage, too. And the role of the people manager<\/a> is as key as it ever was.<\/p>\n

If you do manage people, and even a team of people, sometimes you have to give them space to struggle<\/a> if you want to help them grow.<\/p>\n

But what do the best leaders know, and what skills do they develop<\/a>? The best leaders are usually great problem solvers, but where can you gain that creative edge from? Try using your dreams<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Finally, it\u2019s not uncommon for leaders to doubt themselves, especially when the going gets tough. Here\u2019s 20 tips on how to turn those thoughts around and overcome imposter syndrome<\/a>.<\/p>\n
