\"leadership\"<\/a>Leadership development is essential to a company\u2019s success \u2013 without good, talented people leading your team, having a common purpose and direction is not easy. No wonder why Catalyst 14 coaching<\/a> courses are available these days. According to The State of Leadership Development from Harvard Business, only 28 percent of organizations surveyed see leadership development as a strategic priority. Many companies see management training as important, but not critical to its success.<\/span><\/p>\n

Often, companies do not realize the direct effect that uninvolved or negative leaders have on their entire team. Having a boss or supervisor that does not motivate or lead by example means that the team is more likely to be disinterested in their work and the company altogether. Not paying attention to or caring about employees and what is (and is not) working is a sure way to show employees your indifference. Likely, you will receive less quality work or see employee turnover increase tremendously.<\/span><\/p>\n

To make your leadership role a success, you should:<\/span><\/p>\n

Speak regularly with employees and customers.<\/h3>\n

A very important role as a manager is to listen to both employees and customers. Employees understand the ins and outs of the company and can provide accurate suggestions for improvement. Interact with and listen to your customers because, when that stops happening, the company no longer has a grasp on their target audience. Many times, leadership makes both right and wrong assumptions without simply hearing the people most essential to the company\u2019s success.<\/span><\/p>\n

Provide direction, stability, and a great example.<\/h3>\n

Besides listening to the team, leaders should also provide employees with a sense of purpose and motivation for their work. This entails sharing company goals and direction, as well as best practices for being successful in your industry. Employees should always know where they stand and what is expected of them. Having open, honest leadership shows the entire team they are respected and valued in their role at the company.<\/span><\/p>\n

Seek out management\/leadership training.<\/h3>\n

Many companies, especially larger organizations, offer training and development courses for new hires and managers. Even if an individual has held a leadership role at another company, this training helps align the new leader with the company and potentially learn new ways to manage his or her team effectively. Having an understanding of the culture, strategy and goals of the company gives leaders the opportunity to be the best motivators and role models for employees.<\/span><\/p>\n

Being a great leader can mean something different to each individual, but the bottom line is the same for everyone. The best leaders make each member of his or her team feel appreciated and important. By providing encouragement and direction, listening to everyone\u2019s feedback, and taking the time to continually develop as a leader, companies provide employees with managers who are also exceptional mentors.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Never before has it been as important to provide employees an optimal digital work environment. And never before has it been so confusing to do so. As a Chief Human Resource Officer you want to provide inviting, efficient and fulfilling employee experiences. As a Chief Technology Officer you want technology that is extensible and provides flexibility for business changes. As a Chief Communication Officer you need channels that break through digital noise and enable effective and efficient bi-directional communication with employees. As Chief Financial Officer you want a comprehensive solution and commercial model that comes at a low financial impact and ultimately pays for itself. And as employees we want to be able to do our jobs in a frictionless, effective manner with tools that have the same style and ease of use that we have become accustomed to in our personal lives. The good news is that enterprise technologies, social constructs and many work cultures have evolved to the point where all of this is possible. The challenge is evaluating the seemingly endless technology and process options to make this a reality for any one company. This blog is my attempt to share what I have learned working with Global 2000 companies over the last 26 years to solve various instantiations of these same challenges.
