Let's Grow Leaders

OCTOBER 27, 2015

There’s no question. The best way to get better at leading is by leading. Learn some skills, get out of your comfort zone, try them out, get feedback, take it seriously, adjust, repeat. It’s the premise behind high-end executive development programs that include action learning projects and 360 feedback assessments. The trouble is, such programs are often reserved for high-potential talent at a certain level of the organization.

The following is a guest piece by Shawn Murphy. For too long people have been taken for granted in the workplace. Leaders attempt to control, manage, dictate, coerce people to do what is needed. A people-centric approach to running a business is celebrated as an accomplishment in foreword-thinking organizations. We need more leaders who motivate people to mobilize them to achieve great things for the company.

Virtually every leader wishes they had the power to inspire people to change. That’s because every leader has experienced times when they have identified a change that had to be made, devised a great strategy for making it happen, but then struggled to get people moving in the new direction. The problem is that most leaders believe that in order to inspire other people, they must exude the uncommon charisma of someone like Steve Jobs, Martin Luther King, Jr., or John F.

Words are important. We use words to communicate with our friends, to conduct business, to discipline our children. Politicians use words to convince us who they are and why they are the best candidates for the job. The average person speaks about 16,000 words a day, which comes to about 112,000 words a week—more than five million words a year. Words are powerful tools for leadership, but they must be used well.

As these droves of analysts join organizations, it’s critical that they know how to talk with managers about their findings. But the burden for good communication doesn’t just fall on them. For their part, managers–the consumers of the analysis–need to ask the right questions to be sure they understand the key concepts behind data analysis.

It is still an amazing thought to realize the source of feeling you get from an experience, even when you are troubled that you might be wrong. You might mentally teeter on that side or this side, but somehow you just know. Understanding comes either from a life-long pursuit of understanding through books and teachings or simply an undefined wisdom that crept day by day, experience through experience, into the network of the mind.

Dave Wheeler FOR HBR. In most companies, marketers are in charge of assessing the competition. Because of this, close to 60 percent of all competitive intelligence professionals report to marketing. Yet the majority of marketers fail to use their competition analysts strategically, instead using them to gather more “recon” data. In other words, they’re taking a snapshot of the present, not coming up with a perspective on the future.
