Create an inner circle that will keep you grounded.

There is an old saying that you are the average of the five people closest to you. Having your inner circle will help you to reach your leadership potential, and take the organization to a higher level.

The other function of your inner circle is to keep you grounded. It’s very easy for leaders to begin believing their own reputation on Level 5. A good inner circle can help leaders at the pinnacle level avoid that pitfall. A good inner circle will allow leaders to be themselves, but inner circle members will also tell the truth about themselves.

Instructions

  1. Choose people for your inner circle.
    They all should be potential level 5 leaders.

  2. Meet with all of them regularly.
    For example, schedule a weekly meeting.

  3. Promote authenticity and showing your true self.
    Over time, your inner circle may become your favorite people—like family.
