Crafting Leadership Identity

Leadership

Introduction


Thirteen years ago, I had the opportunity to attend a training session by Claudio
Fernández-Aráoz titled “Great People Decisions in the New Global Environment.” He is
also the author of the book “The Great People Decisions,” where he introduces the
concept of “career trajectory.”

This concept refers to the path and rate at which an individual progresses professionally
and encompasses several factors that influence how quickly and how far one can
advance in their career. He defines this trajectory as having three dimensions: performance,
readiness, and potential. A critical component of readiness is leadership identity.

Throughout my career, I have observed how the identity of a leader influences both
their performance and their growth potential.

In this article, I aim to reflect on my own experiences with this topic, exploring how a
well-defined leadership identity is crucial for effective career advancement and
decision-making in the constantly evolving global landscape
