Positive Leadership: The Nature of Leadership
_Page_1.jpg){kind=logo}
Driven by the belief that the traditional management model—built to serve control-obsessed managers rather than to support customer-obsessed employees—was broken, Vineet launched a series of experiments in promoting transparency, opening up the realm of strategy to all employees, and reversing accountability so managers served frontline employees.
During his tenure, HCLT grew from 30,000 to 85,000 employees and from $750 million to $6.3 billion in revenues. In this keynote from the inaugural MIX Mashup, Vineet unpacks his adventures in inverting the pyramid and distributing the work of leadership. It’s a master class in reinventing a large, traditional organisation and a short course in how to launch a management experiment.

Positive Leadership: How Great Firms Motivate Employees
Research shows that workers who are actively disengaged
outnumber their more motivated colleagues by 2 to 1.
The good news is that the
companies that defy this trend do similar things – which you can use to build a
more spirited workforce.
•
Hire stellar HR people. The best HR people have
a gift for influencing, teaching, and holding executives accountable. They're
crucial guides for leaders and managers trying to develop employees.
•
Use straightforward performance management
systems. Companies with the highest engagement levels use recognition to
develop employees and encourage them to reach their highest potential.
•
Don't pursue engagement for its own sake. It's
increasingly possible to measure and track engagement, but don't start
"managing to the metric." Keep your eyes on the business goals that
greater engagement can help you achieve.
