"Are you achieving outstanding results AND confident you are ready to take your organisation forward into the future as a senior leader?”
There has never been such great resolve and pressure to achieve results – especially ones which relate to profit and financial metrics. However it seems the greater the pressure, the less sustainable and flattering the results you or your shareholders aspire for. Why? Let me give you the answer straight away! Quite simply it is because leaders within any business are focusing on the results before they focus on the reasons for the results. The outcome before the drivers of the outcome if that makes sense! So what are the main drivers that achieve the outcome desired? It is quite simply the style and strength of leadership in developing and delivering a clear vision and strategic direction AND establishing a constructive and proactive workplace culture.
The “culture” bit of these is often overlooked, even though a study by Booz & Co highlights that 86 percent of CEOs, believe that their organisation’s culture is critical to business success. To back this up, Peter Drucker famously said that “culture eats strategy for breakfast”. He didn’t say that strategy is not important – in fact to the contrary – it is vital. However what he was implying is that culture is even more vital than strategy. Culture is in simple terms "the collective behaviours expected of employees of an organisation" and it is these behaviours which in turn determine how “things” get done (or not done!). In other words; culture executes strategy.
Given the leader of an organisation has the most influence on the culture of an organisation, it becomes pretty important that he or she adopts and demonstrates the type of behaviours which then influence how employees think they need to operate. So not only does the leader need to “behave” well(!), but they also need to set the direction for the organisation; namely its vision and strategy. If culture is the “how we work”, then the strategy is the “what we do”. In summary a leader needs to be great at getting the culture right AND great at developing and delivering on the vision and strategy. Are you that kind of leader?
