Course Topics

What ARE Executive Skills Anyway? - 5 min

Executive skills are not a C-suite exclusive. They’re for everyone. They’re the cognitive skills that help you make strategic decisions, regulate your behavior and emotions, and apply your strengths to your tasks to reach goals.

Identifying the skills you’re using and how you’re using them allows you to improve them, which better equips you to achieve your goals and objectives.

  • Gain insight into the practical application of executive skills
  • Identify ten vital executive skills you can apply to meet your goals
  • Explore and bolster skills that are less familiar to you

 

Executive Skills on the Job - 5 min

You’re executing all the time. Applying executive skills can make your most burdensome tasks much easier to execute successfully. It starts with identifying which skills your job requires. Aligning your strengths to the demands of your position will enable you to improve your performance and job satisfaction. If your strengths don’t align with those demands, you can leverage your executive skills to adjust your position while reinforcing your weaknesses.

  • Identify the executive skills that will have the most impact on your performance
  • Align your tasks and strengths to achieve optimal performance at work
  • Leverage resources to improve workflow and be a greater asset to your company

 

Assess Yourself - 5 min

A thorough understanding of your own strengths and weaknesses is a tool you can employ to become a better employee and a better leader by applying your strengths to the tasks you’re responsible for and intentionally taking responsibility for tasks aligned to your strengths. You can gain that understanding by reflecting on your choices and feelings and the reasoning behind them.

  • Take a self-assessment to identify the skill you can use effectively and the skill that need attention
  • Assess yourself in your professional environment by evaluating your feelings towards your tasks
  • Apply your self-assessment to improve your performance and your professional position

 

Dealing with Your Weaknesses - 5 min

Everyone has executive skill weaknesses, but you don’t have to accept that those weaknesses will impair your performance or impede your progress towards your goals. Your executive skill strengths can compensate for your weaknesses if you apply them effectively. This reduces the energy you expend trying to use the executive skills that aren’t in your wheelhouse.

  • Perform in a way that feels more natural and comfortable to you by applying your strengths
  • Reduce the energy needed for tasks by reducing the need for executive skills you don't have
  • Create workable strategies to improve workplace outcomes and reduce stress

 

Short Fixes for Executive Skill Weaknesses - 5 min

Your executive weaknesses are likely to affect the people you work closely with. They may even come to regard you as unreliable in certain aspects because of your consistent weakness in that arena. Being aware of the effects of your weaknesses might make it easier for you to devise solutions leveraging your strengths. Incremental changes can reduce the impact your weaknesses have on others.

  • Identify actions that play to your strengths while reducing the impact of your weaknesses
  • Use technology and other resources to improve your accountability and compensate for your weaknesses
  • Improve relationships and productivity by becoming more of an asset to your team

 

Does Your Job Play to Your Strengths? - 5 min

Too many people end up in a role not because it’s right for them but because it was the road they felt they needed to take at the time. A good fit is a role aligned to your strengths, assigning you tasks that you feel equipped and comfortable executing. Very few positions will be the perfect passion with no strenuous challenges, but you can optimize your performance and job satisfaction by seeking out the best possible fit.

  • Investigate whether your employer is willing to consider your strengths in the assignment of responsibilities
  • Adapt your environment to accommodate weaknesses and improve productivity
  • Improve interactions among your team members and leadership

 

Working with Executive Skills of Others - 5 min

The unique skill sets in your team have a major influence on daily operations, relationships, and performance. Learning your team members’ strengths and them learning yours creates an opportunity for more effective task management and reduced personal tensions. The resulting improvement in job satisfaction and relationships will have a measurable impact on overall productivity.

  • Get familiar with the strengths and weaknesses that exist on your team
  • Generate opportunities for each team member to challenge themselves without overwhelm
  • Adapt the environment and operations to facilitate optimal productivity

 

Use Executive Skills to Combat System Overload - 5 min

The constant in-stream of information is a stress in itself, even before you start strategizing, making decisions, and executing. Controlling information overload is crucial to maintaining an effective level of focus and energy. Your executive skills will suffer when you’re mental inbox is overflowing. Boundaries, resources, and management can regulate the stream of information and the demand for output.

  • Regulate and organize to avoid system overload
  • Prioritize effectively with strategies for time conflict management
  • Establish expectations and protocols for communication and delivery
