Self Development: The One Skill That Makes Every Leader Better | Leadership Microlesson
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What separates average leaders from exceptional ones at The Fischer Group?
It’s not experience. It’s not talent.
It’s intentional self-development.
In this Leadership Microlesson, Jacqueline breaks down how top performers actually grow—drawing on research from Dr. Carol Dweck and Dr. Anders Ericsson—and why most leaders stay stuck in autopilot.
You’ll learn how to:
- Focus your growth on what actually moves the needle
- Use feedback as a competitive advantage
- Push beyond your comfort zone (without burning out)
Because growth isn’t about consuming more—it’s about practicing better, on purpose.
