Return on Investment (ROI), or the measurement of how effectively something will pay for itself, is a classic business metric. Never being one for convention, I’ve been experimenting with variations on the ROI theme, namely, the idea of ROI mpact (ROI m ). ROI m is how I decide which projects to take on and which to decline. Unfortunately, many organizations still believe ROI and ROI m are either incompatible or unrelated.

Does self-awareness and an understanding of leadership impact really matter to organisations? Nearly all managers and people in leadership roles believe they make a difference. I hope you can see the irony in leadership statements such as this. Does leadership make that much of a difference to business outcomes and success? The effort and willingness to grow and develop as a leader is the only way that this benefit can be realised, however.

A Genie (actually an HR Vice-president at a former company) once asked me, “ Dan, if you could make a wish and only do one thing for leadership development, what would it be?” That is, of course you can’t develop leaders by doing just one thing, leadership development is a system, involving many interdependent variables. My experience has been that it always does seem to link back to the top banana’s belief and commitment to developing leaders.

The more perspectives at the table, the more creative, strong, well-developed ideas are likely to emerge. Great leaders develop others and encourage them to be more. Whatever the task at hand, they define leadership with their example of attention to detail and personal accountability for outcomes.
