Here\u2019s the situation: You lead an organization or, perhaps, part of one. You\u2019re in the C-suite or, at least, at the EVP or SVP level. You\u2019re looking to make a change.<\/p>\n

From my vantage point: There isn\u2019t a better time than now. I have been an independent career and executive coach for 26 years, have coached leaders and leadership teams across 25 industries, have held leadership positions in five industries, and have taught two leadership courses at the graduate level for 15 years at Fairleigh Dickinson University, and have lived through some of the most dramatic times in our economy and, certainly, our job market. Repeat: There isn\u2019t a better time than now to make your move.<\/p>\n

So why a leadership career move now? Leadership is all about change \u2013 and we are at the forefront of the most sweeping change in history, led by AI. If there\u2019s no change necessary, there\u2019s no need for leadership or new leadership. A good manager will do.<\/p>\n

ut managers manage within paradigms; leaders lead between paradigms. This is clearly a time for leaders. Here are seven tips as you make your move.<\/p>\n

1. Go to market as a leader, not as a leader in a specific industry.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Goldman Sachs estimates around 300 million jobs could be affected by generative AI and 18% of work globally could be automated. In other words, change will be everywhere, and your skills in navigating these waters have never been in greater demand. Your ability to lead change \u2013 even create it \u2013 is your most compelling case.<\/p>\n

<\/fbs-ad><\/p>\n

2. Self-assess.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s assume this is a given, After all, you\u2019ve come this far already.<\/p>\n

3. Identify and define yourself completely.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You should have more than a r\u00e9sum\u00e9. You\u2019ll also need a professional bio and a top-notch LI profile. Don\u2019t write these by yourself. Hire the best you can find not to do it for you, but with you.<\/p>\n

4. Know the industry you plan to enter like the back of your hand.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

History, players, competitive landscape, global position, key personalities, up-to-the-minute news, the whole nine yards. Here\u2019s where you evoke the first WOW moments.<\/p>\n

5. Strut your transferable leader skills.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We know what those are: communication, vision, building exceptional teams, creating mutual goals, and standing on firm ethical ground.<\/p>\n

6. Find a coach or mentor.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

No matter how senior you are, no matter how many people you\u2019ve mentored, don\u2019t do this alone. More than ever, now\u2019s when you need someone to air things out with.<\/p>\n

7. If image is not everything, it\u2019s close.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

And no one knew this better than America\u2019s greatest leader: George Washington. When the Continental Congress was getting things started, the question of leadership was front and center. General Washington always showed up in his glittering uniform, two-inch wooden heels (being 6\u20192\u201d wasn\u2019t enough, apparently), and was known to strike those poses we recognize from Stuart portraits. He never had to say a word; whenever any of the founders looked around, there was the image they wanted.<\/p>\n

How leaders win.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The truth is, leaders assume leadership before the battle is joined. In The Art of War<\/em>, Sun-Tzu said: \u201cThe victorious warrior wins first and then goes onto battle, while the defeated warrior goes to battle and then tries to win.\u201d That was 2,500 years ago. Nothing\u2019s changed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
