re: What makes an outstanding leader?

Jane-O — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 19:21:26 GMT

I think that outstanding leaders are really inspirational. As the research suggests, inspirational, outstanding leaders really engage the people around them and co-create success with them. Outstanding leaders are great motivators - they really know how to engage others, not just through what they say, but more importantly through how they act. They have integrity and they inspire trust. They go the extra mile and so encourage others to go the extra mile, too. Qualities like this are increasingly important in today's economic climate. Anyone who can inspire others while the economic outlook remains gloomy is indeed outstanding.

re: Change but don’t change

Excellent post. As I recently blogged, the massive organizational upheavals caused by the recession have left so many employees floundering in what to prioritize and what really matters. In the midst of these organizational changes, many companies also changed or adjusted their strategic objectives to align with the new priorities, but in doing so neglected to tell the employees how their work and specific tasks should also change to achieve those revised objectives.

One of the most effective and positive methods for creating alignment is through strategic recognition. These highly structured programs encourage employees to notice, acknowledge and praise the exceptional efforts and behaviors of colleagues that reflect the company values in achievement of the strategic objectives. In this way employees are not only reminded of the values and objectives with every recognition they receive, but it also becomes very real to them how they are helping to achieve those objectives in their daily tasks.
