Raise Your Game
What you actually want
What you would rather have is high performers who can focus on what is important to the company. You want them to model the behaviours that most directly contribute to success, and to foster and reinforce those same behaviours in others.
You want them to understand the company's mission, vision and values and transform that understanding into agile execution on the ground. To achieve this they must engage others and provide the right focus, set priorities and delegate and supervise without doing the job themselves. They must be able to use a range of leadership approaches, which they match to different situations.
You want leaders and key players who can foster agile teams and teamwork across the company. Encouraging people to collaborate and work on trust and empowering them to be creative and innovative within clearly understood boundaries. To do this they must be able to coach and mentor, give due recognition and timely feedback.
High performers are capable of spectacular results and can lead your business forward. When high performers raise their game, others around them raise theirs. You want high performers who:
Make the difference in winning new business.
Forge great relationships with your clients, delivering excellent service and leveraging revenue and margin.
Energetically lead real or virtual teams, promoting the link between company mission, vision and strategy and operational goals and results.
Focus your people on high value activity leading to greater agility and genuine competitive advantage.
Engage those around them, providing clarity, direction and motivation in executing business agendas.
Foster high performance in others through effective use of coaching, mentoring and directive management.
Promote trust, open communication and collaboration as a way of working, leading to greater teamwork across your business and better results, achieved faster.
