We know .leadership
Having worked with leaders from all over the world for the past 20 years, having post grad qualifications, studied numerous leadership theories and research into effective leaders and leadership this we know.
Leaders are an essential ingredient
The most effective Leaders demonstrate integrity, vulnerability, will and humility. They need to consistently exhibit these attributes and be a role model for their team. They are constantly growing their self-awareness and their awareness of the impact they have on others. They are human, make mistakes, get things wrong, apologise and forgive. They work with a growth mindset, constantly looking for the next opportunity to learn and grow.
Leaders cast a shadow
Leaders cast a shadow on the people they work with. Leaders behaviour sets the wider expectation and people are watching and being influenced by the leader’s behaviour. This is not what is said but what is done and what is implied.
Leaders chart the course
Leader ensure the team has a clearly defined and understood purpose, a reason they exist, a central purpose for why the team exists. The leader ensures there is a direction, vision or result that the team is aiming for and a clear set of agreed priorities to be delivered. Whilst in the current environment this may not be long term, short term clarity of priorities and direction can be incredibly important for people experiencing uncertainty.
Leaders create the space
Leaders generate wellbeing by creating the space for people to feel safe to express what they are going through, to come together with others, to reflect and plan together, to connect and to grow.
Leaders go first
Leaders demonstrate the courage of going first. Of trusting others with increasing levels of openness and vulnerability. Leaders show others what’s expected and they follow. Leaders behaviour creates trust, strengthens connections and encourages cooperation. We know that vulnerability creates trust but is hardest to do when trust doesn’t exist or has eroded. This is why Leaders go first accepting the risk that they may not be followed and do it anyway.
Leaders create the culture
Leaders contribute strongly to a sense of ‘how we do things around here’. When leaders focus on learning, personal and professional growth and health and wellbeing it strongly encourages others to focus the same way. Being a good coach, being open to being coached, giving and receiving feedback all contributes to a healthy and engaged team culture.
