- Executives who used their technical skills effectively at lower levels are often unable to successfully switch to the cognitive skills required at the strategic levels of senior management. To be successful, executives need a broader perspective when dealing with the complex strategic problems at the executive level.
- Successful executives need to have the emotional stability to remain calm and confident during crises. They must exhibit consistent behavior and be able to handle pressure without angry outbursts or moodiness.
- Successful executives need tact and diplomacy, always exhibiting sensitivity, and consideration. They cannot afford to be defensive about failure or to blame others, especially subordinates for their mistakes. Instead they need to accept responsibility, and move forward instead of dwelling on the failure.
- Truly successful executives have great integrity. They are never so ambitious as to advance their own careers at the expense of others or of their organizations. They are considered less dependable because they betray a trust or break a promise.
Many executives have successfully used Whole Mind Success techniques to enhance their cognitive skills, to increase sensitivity and to reduce their stress levels.
