We have very poor leadership on my team. My CEO tells me my next step is leadership... we left it open-ended in our last meeting, as to what that would look like (ie, the position).
My boss and my colleague (manager) above me are not doing our team any favors by teaching them incorrectly. In fact, they're hurting our team in my opinion. So if my next step is leadership, how do I inform or let the CEO know that our current leadership is poor without stepping on anyone's toes? My CEO is not aware of this fact, because he doesn't know our job inside and out. I don't want to get anyone fired, but I also want to progress in my career and I think I would be a great team leader. It's really tricky business.  Or maybe I'm better off leaving and getting a new job in order to progress. My CEO last told me we should continue talking, so I anticipate another meeting with him about this. __________________ "Twenty-five years and my life is still trying to get up that great big hill of hope for a destination" ~4 Non Blondes |

The best way to not step on toes here is to promote your own strengths and refrain from knocking on the weaknesses of your colleagues. You can stress to your CEO that your colleagues have strengths in XYZ areas, but the team is lacking a strong person in ABC (your area of strength), and that it would help the whole team to have someone with these skills and knowledge in a leadership role, and that is also your career goal. Make it about what you have to offer that can strengthen the team, and always compliment your colleagues strengths. Always refer to weaknesses or challenges and opportunities for growth and improvement.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
