Leadership Cohesiveness

The key attributes of the desired culture of organizational effectiveness are created by leaders through the way in which they lead by a set of principles that are reinforced through the collective behavior and actions of other leaders.

Effective organizations have a different view of the leader. Leaders are open, real, approachable and accountable to others. They are not higher than others due to their position, in fact, the position speaks to responsibility, not hierarchy.

The soul of the enterprise is the people value stream; not expansion and money. Excellence is respect for others, recognizing the value of others while investing in the development of each, and unleashing the potential and spirit of the organization with enlightened leadership for the cause of the customer, business, staff and community.

Leaders cannot treat themselves differently from other people in the organization, effective leaders know when to let others lead, even if doing so puts the member out of their comfort zone. Great leaders evoke the emotions of those they lead and use the command of emotions to make it all about the team members not about themselves. T

If the leadership is asking everyone to engage in change that creates stress, the establishment of a clear and consistent vision of what the future will be aid greatly in employee’s ability to understand why and how through the transformation.

Leaders MUST ensure that they respect and affirm the value of each individual; this is a cornerstone of highly-effective organizations.

Be present with them; make them the center of attention, your only focus with active listening coupled with empathy. Focus on how to lift their strengths and their diversity to build a cohesive team covering weaknesses.
