2. HOW TO DRIVE COHERENCE AND QUALITY - post 1/2
Three key areas will be described in how to develop strategy and engagement.
1. Getting the right people on the bus (to quote Jim Collins (Collins, 2001, Jim Collins - Articles - Good to Great)
2. The leader’s role in strategy
3. Leading by example
Through the execution of these elements of leadership your team will become more cohesive and have a sense of coherence with respect to the goals the organization is pursuing. This cohesiveness and coherence are inspiring and result in an increase in energy level from the team.
5 Conclusion
Really great leadership boils down to:
Getting the right people on the bus, in the right seat (Collins)
Knowing who you are, where you are going and effectively communicating it.
Leading by example. Including in building people up and developing mutual respect and coherence.
Your organization’s Values matter. Codify them and live them out. At least one of your core values must have a direct connection to physical reality. These values are the foundation upon which decision making rests.
"Only three things happen naturally in organizations: friction, confusion, and underperformance. Everything else requires leadership."
- Peter Drucker
