- If possible, get help from a mentor, a counsellor or an execu-
tive coach. The latter can be particularly useful if they know
their job. - Make the most of any training or development courses your
organization provides on such matters as leadership, team-
work, interpersonal skills and NLP. - Use your imagination and be patient. You will not neces-
sarily get easy answers to your quest for improvements. You
will not change ingrained behavioural habits without being
quite radical in your approach. And you have to recognize
that it will take time. - Monitor progress by analysing your own behaviour and the
impact it makes, and obtaining further feedback from
others. Adjust your development programme as necessary
in the light of this feedback.
