LEADERSHIP IS A PROCESS OF SOCIAL INFLUENCE, WHICH MAXIMISES THE EFFORTS OF OTHERS TOWARDS THE ACHIEVEMENT OF A SHARED GOAL.

Wednesday, October 20, 2010


LEADERSHIP IS A PROCESS NOT A THING. LEADERSHIP IS ABOUT PRESENCE NOT TITLE. LEADERSHIP EXISTS THROUGHOUT AN ORGANISATION.


WITH THESE PRINCIPLES IN MIND, PLEASE THINK ABOUT THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS

A)     INDIVIDUAL

  • What 3 words describe me as a leader?  Which one do I most need to change if I am to become a better leader?  How will I do it? 
  • How do I define success as a leader?  Am I on track?  What do I still need to do to achieve success?
  • What are my core values?  To what extent am I leading in alignment with them? Am I walking the talk?
  • If I had to change one aspect of my leadership, to achieve improved team / organisational performance, it would be........
  • Am I a leader of value, or values, or both?  Am I prepared to sacrifice performance for what I hold to be right? 
  • What was the last (conscious) action I adopted, to improve my leadership effectiveness? Was I / it successful? What could I have done differently?
  • Am I confident that I will deliver my very best performance on a consistent basis when I am under pressure?

B)     ORGANISATIONAL

  • Does my organisation have a leadership strategy (ie an integrated platform to attract, develop and retain top leadership talent for competitive success)?
  • Are values embedded in the way my organisation thinks and acts?
  • What are the top 3 values of my organisation?
  • Do I believe that the values of my organisation are likely to hold up under pressure?
  • Do I have personal experience of seeing the values of my organisation drive high performance?
  • Do the values of our organisation drive the strategy of our organisation or is strategy developed regardless of values?
  • Has the strategy of our organisation been benchmarked for alignment and consistency with the values of our organisation?
  • Do the values of our organisation create a platform for consistent high performance, even under pressure?
  • Am I confident that my organisation will deliver its very best performance on a consistent basis when it is under pressure?
  • Does my organisation strive for excellence or is it comfortable with ‘satisfactory underperformance’?
