Leadership Development is Key to Organizational Success

Leadership in Crisis
Top executive failure rates are estimated to be as high as seventy-five percent and rarely lower than thirty percent. A McKinsey study found that the pipeline for future leaders is broken. Only three percent of those responding to the survey felt their company developed leaders well. Why is this happening? Simply because leaders -- like the rest of us -- tend to judge their own performance significantly better than do those they work with.

Why Invest In Leadership Development

The Leader as Coach: Creating High Performance in Change
Leaders have never been more critical to an organization’s performance than they are today. Continuous turbulent change makes leadership a more demanding role than ever before. We look to our leaders for not only laying out the path into the future but also to engage, inspire and motivate others to join eagerly in the journey.

Do You Pass The Leadership Test?
The quality of performance in any organization is a direct reflection of the quality of leadership. The quality of morale, loyalty, retention, relationships, and business performance is directly related to how individual team members respond to the following questions:
Great Leadership Is Admitting What You Do Not Know and Thus Avoid Becoming A Victim
Great leadership or effective leadership is the ability to admit what you do not know. Justification and rationalization are not characteristics of great leadership. These individuals understand that life must be challenged and more importantly so must their own performance as they lead themselves and others forward.
Building better performance expectations
Ask yourself: on a scale of 1-10, 10 being high, how effective are the staff in the business? Chances are you will offer a number between 6 and 7. If extra effort is put in by the leadership that can be lifted to perhaps 7.5 maybe as high as 8 for short periods, then when the extra effort stops, as it must, performance slides back to where it was that is about 6.5. Our research states that 65% is about as good as you will get with the current set of performance and HR tools; to achieve consistently better staff performance, without extraordinary leadership efforts requires much better thinking about how staff are supported to be successful and perform as well as they are able.

Third Generation Leadership and Accountability
The bottom line in any organisation is performance. And performance demands accountability. The issue as we move from First Generation Leadership or Second Generation Leadership approaches to a Third Generation Leadership approach is not one of being accountable versus being unaccountable.

Third Generation Leadership and inappropriate behaviour
By focusing on my performance and explaining difficulties I may be having in reaching my performance goals the emphasis moves away from how “the other” should change to how “the other” can help me achieve whatever it is I am supposed to achieve. I can use a Third Generation Leadership approach in my interaction with him or her or “them”. Now it is an easy step for me to set out what support I need or would like from “the other” in order for me to perform.
What Everyone Wants to Know About The Show Up Step Out and Shine Leadership Method
My how to improve performance at work skill set did not always come naturally to me and was something that I never thought I would have to develop to become successful and one day have the privilege of reaching a level of mastery. The creation of “The Show Up Step Out & Shine Leadership Method” was started in 1997 when I was placed into my first leadership position. Before that, I worked several part-time jobs for approximately 4 years prior. I didn't have a clue what leadership was about or that this concept even existed. I had several different bosses and always did everything that I was told to do. I always worked hard and was looked at as a great worker. This was how my parents raised me to act and I didn't know any different.
