What if 2016 is your year for a new career? 2016 will be closing in about 350 days, no matter what you do. “Is it just too sad to be over 40 and still figuring out what you want to be when you grow up?” This question came from a woman in a job-seekers coaching group I co-lead. Who do you want to be?” is a question we ask of young people until they’re about 23, when we suddenly stop and assume this decision has been made. It’s in the past. Whoever you are, that’s it.

O NCE AGAIN we see that despite our rhetoric, what we are is reflected in our leaders and leadership. Actions have consequences and continuity of character matters. We need to be “urgently” reflective because too often by the time we find out it’s broken, it’s been broken for a very long time. As technology becomes more disruptive and we see more importance placed on big data and artificial intelligence, what will matter most are those things that make us human – the soft skills.

Today, I am sharing three reality checks that will help you gauge your leadership aptitude and assess whether changes need to be made going into 2016. Leadership is not for the faint of heart. It never has been. The essence of leadership lies within who you are and how you behave. It is character-driven. In fact, leadership and character are one and the same. Becoming a leader means embarking on a courageous journey of strength and integrity.
