’ Here are the actions I have observed about leadership that are mandatory for leadership success. All other leadership characteristics and outcomes fade if there is a lack of truth. If training is to have a lasting value, it must have leadership support AND participation. BUT not without gambling. Same in life.).

This is an extraordinary book on leadership from the experts in extraordinary leadership. That book was based on their extensive database of more than 200,000 multi-rater or 360-degree feedback reports describing 20,000 managers. Periodically I search Amazon for an update on how many leadership books are available.

I recognize – and I made the mistake really of saying to one of our very large customers that had 30,000 employees – that this is a poor process and he challenged me on that, he said, “Well, if we would eliminate this today we’d have total chaos.”.

Organizational culture is also a key factor in levels of employee engagement, extra effort, innovation, morale, and teamwork. Meeting frequency and processes follow same old routines. Change management processes create more rigidity and less agility. What do they say about meeting leadership and culture? Who attends them?

I recently returned from a trip to Beijing where I was working with senior managers to develop leadership skills in one of the largest companies in the world. And there was a third party managing the 360 process so the feedback was anonymous and about as protected as one can get. So perhaps there are other reasons.

In most organizations, professionals who want to move up get lots of feedback. Many companies provide you with so-called 360-degree feedback based on anonymous surveys from your boss, peers, and direct reports. Understand that most people, including senior leaders, are uncomfortable providing this feedback.

Carrot and stick performance management processes and the behaviorist approach upon which they are based are deeply flawed, and yet most of us start (and end) there, even in the most innovative organizations. And when threatened or punished, they get downright ornery and behave really badly. Still, that’s probably not enough.

Energy vampires are often smart, well-intentioned managers who inadvertently slow the company down with too many questions, too much analysis, too much process—and not enough action. This implies that there is a cost of adding a new process, a new piece of analysis, a new meeting—and customers ultimately bear this cost.
