①
Provide an inspiring vision
and strategic alignment, launch
a crusade
|
|
|
|
As
a leader, you must envision the
future, passionately believe
that you can make a difference,
and inspire people to achieve
more than they may ever have
dreamed possible. You must see a
changed world beyond the time
horizon, create an ideal and
unique image of what it could
become, open your followers'
eyes and lift their spirits.
|
|
|
|
|
②
Help people connect their
personal goals to business goals
|
|
|
|
Leadership is essentially about
helping people to achieve a
better life.
An
important measure of your own
success as a leader is the
success of your followers.
Creative, intrapreneurial,
empowered, and
talented
employees are the
prime ingredient of
organizational success and they
need to be able to lead
themselves.
|
|
|
|
|
③
Make relentless innovation a
religion
|
|
|
|
Lead
innovation,
emphasize opportunities, not
problems, and encourage
innovative behavior.
Establishing the culture of
innovation requires a broad and
sustained effort. Questions are
critical to innovation, so start
with creating a
culture of questioning.
|
|
|
|
|
④
Encourage entrepreneurial
creativity and experimentation
|
|
|
|
|
⑤
Involve everyone, empower and
trust employees
|
|
|
|
|
⑥
Coach and train your people
to greatness
|
|
|
|
|
⑦
Build teams and promote
teamwork, leverage diversity
|
|
|
|
Teamwork is essential for
competing in today's global
arena. Build a
star team, not a team of
stars. Diversity of thought,
perception, background and
experience enhance the
creativity
and
innovation.
Challenge people from different
disciplines and cultures to come
up with something better
together and achieve creative
breakthroughs.
|
|
|
|
|
⑧
Motivate, inspire and
energize people, recognize achievements
|
|
|
|
Financial rewards do
encourage people to produce
results. But the kind of
ownership that really generates
energy is not financial. It is
emotional.
Set
stretch targets – they
inspire and
energize people. As a
leader, become a positive and
encouraging person.
|
|
|
|
|
As
business today is about passion
and creating new things, fun has
become a big element in the
business strategy of many highly
successful businesses.
|
|
|
|
Example:
Fun-filled, joyful and highly
useful Spoken Innovation
contests at corporate and World
Innompic Games

A
leader is best is best when people barely know he exists. When
his work is done, they will say: we did it ourselves. |
Lao Tzu |
|
Lead more,
manage less... Leading a big company means never allowing a company
to take itself too seriously. |
