In 2006, one of my CEO clients in Sarasota, FL shared with me his annual employee engagement survey. It is not only critical as a foundation for successful organizational growth, but it also fits neatly into my core service offerings focused on “healthy” growth. In 2006 I launched the Culture Compass™. Leadership Listens.

The fuel for toxicity is conflict not resolution, ego not humility, self-interest not service above self, gossip & innuendo not truth, social & corporate climbing not team-building, and the list could go on.

He went on to say, &# it takes no talent to hustle and your team deserves better.&# I think loyalty cost us nothing, yet delivers great reward to a team. From my perspective, there cannot be a true sense of team without the existence of loyalty. Where there is no team there is no need for a leader.

Someone who has consistently experienced success in leadership roles has a much better chance of success than someone who has not. Any leader is only as good as his or her team’s desire to be led by them. Leaders who do not possess a bias toward action, or who cannot deliver on their obligations will not be successful.

It was at this precise moment that I came to understand that the most important factor in determining whether or not something will be successful is who is charged with the responsibility for making it happen. In all but the rarest of circumstances, teams simply don’t function well in the absence of sound leadership.

Those professionals that have self respect, and demonstrate a true respect for others regardless of their station in life, are much more likely to be successful over the long-term than those that use the tactics of disrespect to humiliate and intimidate. Once this is done, many other pieces of the team will fall into place.

While successful leaders share many common traits, all great leaders have one thing in common – they are not only adept at earning the loyalty of those they lead, but they also recognize that loyalty is a two-way street, and as such give their loyalty in return.

My question is this…since when have fear and avoidance become prerequisites for success as a CEO? If change and innovation weren’t key contributors to sustainable success, and the enterprise could just run on auto-pilot, you could replace the CEO with a General Manager.

While I believe bonus structures to be a key component of successful compensation plans, if current employees are generally happy with the existing comp plan and are hitting performance goals there may not be the need to add another layer to the comp plan. While many tend to favor this structure, it is far from perfect as well.

Treat your brand as an asset not an afterthought: If building brand equity is not a key strategic focus for your executive team don’t be surprised if your brand remains in stealth mode. If branding is not someone’s full-time responsibility then your brand will suffer from the part-time results that the part-time efforts yield.
