Despite being highly competent, women in leadership often encounter unique challenges that can stymie their professional growth. These habits, which might have served us well early in our careers, can actually become corrosive once we get to a certain point. They can derail us from taking that next step and being the impactful leader we really want to be.Today, I’m doing something a little bit different and reviewing a book that left such an impression on me that I believe every woman who leads in a male-dominated industry should read.How Women Rise: Break the 12 Habits Holding You Back from Your Next Raise, Promotion, or Job by Marshall Goldsmith and Sally Helgeson identifies 12 habits that could be holding women back in their careers, and I just know that you will resonate with at least one or two of these habits as we go through them.Not only is it important to identify areas that are keeping us from our true potential, we need to take action to combat them and create new ones.I’ll take you through the following key habits that may be holding you back, and some practical strategies to help you propel your career to the next level: 1.   Reluctance to Claim Your Achievements2.   Expecting Others to Notice and Reward You3.   Overvaluing Expertise4.   Building Rather Than Leveraging Relationships5.   Failing to Enlist Allies6.   Putting Your Job Before Your Career7.   The Perfection Trap8.   The Disease to Please9.   Minimising Yourself10. Being Too Much11. Rumination12. Letting Your Radar Distract YouAs we talk through each habit, I want you to take note of which ones are keeping you stuck, and how you might take action to break them. Whether it’s working with a coach like me or talking to a colleague who can help, take practical steps to create new ways in which you approach your career in leadership.Remember, we all struggle with habits that negatively affect us from time to time. It’s what we choose to do to move ourselves forward that matters most.LINKS:Mid-Year Check-In GuideHow Women Rise: Break the 12 Habits Holding You Back from Your Next Raise, Promotion, or JobConnect With Me:Exceptional Leadership Framework: https://www.rebeccabangura.com/5-step-framework-to-exceptional-leadershipBook your strategy call: https://calendly.com/rebeccabangura/get_in_touchWebsite: https://www.rebeccabangura.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebeccabangura/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamrebeccabangura/
