The Thicker Your Skin, the Faster the Path to Leadership

How thick is your skin?

Totally honest and sometimes brutal criticism can be tough to take. But there are those in the field of performance management training who believe that the better able you are to act upon often bruising critiques, the faster you will succeed and rise in the organization.

Here is their rationale. They claim that if you seek and act upon the brutal truth you are apt to attract positive attention from senior folks who could help further your career. Potential sponsors want protégées who are so eager to learn that they are ready to hear about the gaps in their skills and experience.

Superiors prefer to speak directly and not tiptoe around sensitive egos. They will welcome the opportunity to level with you and point out your shortcomings as long as you take steps to get better. The whole process of performance improvement becomes streamlined. You have the information you need to climb up that ladder of leadership faster than those who instead seek compliments and gentle advice.
