Organizations should coordinate management skills into its overall corporate strategy, in order to satisfy customer needs profitably, draw together the components for practical strategies and implement strategic requirements to impact the business.

By John Baldoni , Chair, Leadership Development, N2growth. Management is your day job; leadership is your career. That is a variation on a comment I heard recently from an executive who was speaking about the responsibilities that senior managers have to lead their organizations through change. Managers are expected to handle the workload; leaders are expected to determine what comes next. Managers by nature are pragmatists; leaders are dreamers.

As recently as 2005 leadership theory talked about personality traits that leaders possessed, debated whether leaders are born or made and focused much of its work on how to identify and groom leaders so they can take over and lead those who worked for them. Trust in the organization was created by its perceived status as a business and a whole lot of money spent in creating slick veneers and expensive advertising. It also has had an impact on the way leadership works.

Inconsistency from leaders confuses people, erodes trust, causes fear, and can lead to a sort of learned inertia where the employee, paralyzed by uncertainty, just avoids or shuts down interactions with the offending manager. It does not help that as managers we live in a fishbowl, where our every action is seen by all. It’s the same for us as managers: our visible actions should always match up with our words or else people will become confused and begin to tune out.

Some leadership situations call for dominance, whereas others call for prestige.

Great Leadership By Dan

NOVEMBER 27, 2018

Because just running an advertising campaign stating that a brand is trustworthy isn’t good enough. Companies have to be consistent in their behaviour, from top to bottom, and right along the supply chain, from the ‘first hand of production to the final hand of the consumer’. With good leadership at the core of these businesses, every member of the organisation are enabled to understand and demonstrate ‘why they do it, what they do and how they do it’.

Guest post from Sophie Wade: Leadership is in the midst of a major makeover. The shift marks a significant move away from Henri Fayol's autocratic “command-and-control” type management theories and methodologies which have been in vogue since the early 1900s. These were coupled with Frederick Wilson Taylor’s popular scientific management theory that focused on financial compensation and the concept that workers’ motivation resulted from payment for volume-based repetitive task work.

You might believe that you’re an innocent pawn in this game, but as a manager, you have a responsibility to ensure that unreasonable targets don’t unleash harmful behaviors on your team. Common examples of such trade-offs include upselling products or services that are of little value to the customer or selling at unprofitable prices. But that would be an abdication of your responsibility as a manager. For the people on your team, you are the leadership.
