Article For Gen Y About Defining Your Leadership Brand at Work
Hi All!
Heather Huhman, Founder & President of ComeRecommended.com (a unique community site that matches Millennial/Gen Y job seekers with employers), wrote an article for Dan Schawbel’s popular blog, PersonalBrandingBlog, about how to develop your personal leadership brand at work.
The article is entitled: “Defining Your Brand via 6 Traits that Make You a Leader“. Heather was inspired to write this article after reading my new book, “Millennials Into Leadership“, and offered her personal perspectives on the key areas I suggest Millennials focus on when determining their personal leadership brand, such as: Philosophical Style, Social Style, Intellectual Style, Communication Style, Emotional Style, and Ethical Style.
It’s a great article that illustrates how to use information from my book in a real-world way. Heather is a Millennial and is in a leadership role in her position as a business owner, so you’re bound to learn from her insights when reading the article.
As more Millennials enter the workforce, and enter leadership roles, it’s critical for companies to groom them for success. But unfortunately many employers just promote them into management roles and don’t provide training. At the very least, you should read my book, especially if your company doesn’t offer solid leadership training!
And if you’re an employer, give me a call. I offer leadership seminars, workshops and keynotes for Millennial employees, and my clients have truly benefitted from hiring me to present them.
Bye for now,
Lisa
