Hey, Dave Stahofiak here.

Today I'm coming to you with five tactics to help you get through an inflection point.

Whenever our academy opens, I get into lots of conversations with applicants about this.

That's because our academy helps leaders thrive at

key inflection points. But what does an inflection point look like? Well, if you're leading in

any capacity, you're going to hit inflection points in your career. Often an inflection point

actually comes right after something that happens to you,

a promotion, leading a new team, a reorg, being told you're tapped for a new opportunity,

maybe a new initiative. The change itself is often the simple part, getting a new title,

new organization, new team, new opportunity.

But it's what comes after that change that's really the inflection point.

And you know you're at an inflection point.

If what worked before isn't working quite as well, or maybe even at all right now. That especially happens

with the people aspects of leadership. As our careers go on, more and more of the

inflection points are about enabling the work of others, not just our own. So today, I've got

five tactics that may help you get through an inflection

point if you're at one right now. All of these tactics come right out of conversations

we've had in the academy in helping our members not only work through an inflection point,

but to thrive during that time. I don't know if you're at an inflection point right now or not,

but if you are, one of these five tactics might be the starting point for you.

The first tactic is redirect versus respond. Now, this one came out of a recent conversation

we had with one of our members who's a manager in financial services.
