FIVE LIMITERS OF EXECUTIVE SUCCESS AND ADVANCEMENT

ON Partners and Sockwell Performance Advisors have a long and trusted partnership. The following thoughts, written by Allen Sockwell, Founder, could not be more true — and echo much of what we at ON Partners interview against, look for, and gauge when we assess today’s up-andcoming leaders. Allen’s thoughts on item #1, “Self-Awareness” ring especially true! If you as a leader can act on one thing, learn how others react to you, view/think of you, and then with honest self-refection use this to your advantage. Trust me, you will make better decisions, and your organization will follow. The limiters that Allen describes are substantive, but if addressed, can become something that sets you apart from the proverbial crowd.
