We are frequently taught that leaders, especially aspiring
leaders, should hide weaknesses and mistakes. This view is flawed. It is not
only good to admit you are wrong when you are; but also it can also be a
powerful tool for leaders—actually increasing legitimacy and, when practiced
regularly, can help to build a culture that actually increases solidarity,
innovation, openness to change and many other positive features of organisational
life.

Positive Leadership: Our Offer to You
What do the recent Barclays LIBOR scandal and the ‘humiliating
shambles’ of the G4S Olympics security operation have in common?
One thing is certain –
leadership which has failed to deliver optimum performance and results when put
under pressure.
Leadership cannot exist in a vacuum in any organisation – it
impacts business strategy in a multitude of ways. Oftentimes, leaders fail to
appreciate this connection or at the very least, are unprepared for the effects
of pressure on strategy and behaviour.
Executing business strategy successfully in situations of
high pressure and delivering optimum results requires proven leadership which
appreciates the underpinning importance of a values based leadership culture
throughout the organisation.
At Positive Leadership,
we have developed a proprietary values based approach to optimising business
results. For us, it is the interaction and close synergy between leadership
values and business strategy that delivers such an outcome on a consistent
basis. Our Values of Positive Leadership™ are based on extensive research and
many years of business experience.
We work with our clients advising them on how to excel under
pressure. Our involvement is client/transaction specific and typically involves
a combination of transaction based advice, leadership coaching and management mentoring.
We are confident that our approach will help you deliver
improved bottom line performance and equip you and your fellow leaders with the
understanding, skills and awareness to ensure that optimum performance and
results are delivered, even under pressure, unlike the leaders of Barclays and
G4S.
