Mindset Before Skill Set

Get around leaders who are developers.2. Build your confidence by reading books and articles from leadership development experts.3. Push through fear and just do it. Learn from your failures and successes.Gaining the skill set it takes to effectively develop leaders won’t happen overnight, but if you take these steps to start changing your mindset, you’ll find that growing in your skill set is much easier than you once believed.Additional Resources:Watch: Developing Leaders: Overcoming 3 Fears (That May Be Holding You Back)
