Business leadership management combines the unique elements of who you are as a person, as someone others will follow and as a manager - someone who can lead their followers in the right direction.
Because your business leadership management persona is yours and yours alone, it the only competitive advantage you have that will endure against all others every time.
There is really only one way to tell if your business leadership management persona is effective as a magnet that attracts followers. You have to ask them. What do your people say about your leadership to each other, outsiders, your competitors?
For example, are they saying that your business leadership alone insures the long term success of the company?
Would your employees say that you are giving it everything you’ve got - making a 100% contribution to your organization? Do you think you have what it takes to lead your organization in these very interesting times?
I bet, more times than not, excellent business leaders are really just regular people like you and me who are internally motivated to stretch themselves far beyond what even their mother-in-law expects of them.
Is that you, a regular person who is always out there plowing forward no matter what - always willing to take responsibility for the results the company achieves, then giving the credit for that achievement to the people who actually did the work?
Whether that’s you or not, invest the time and energy to develop a sense of mission that goes beyond the week to week. Understand that you are there in your business for a reason, that you are running the company so you can accomplish something special.
What is it that brings your business leadership management characteristics to the fore? Don’t you feel that you are here to make things better, for your family, your employees, and your organization? If so, act like it - someone has trusted you with the position you now hold.
When you truly believe that you are here to make a difference, you are well on your way to maximizing your business leadership management potential.
Leaders have a burning desire to serve their customers. Effective leaders know that their customers, including those inside their organization, are still king. Leaders know that they are there to serve their customers, that their customers are the only reason that they are on the payroll at all.
Leaders are “on the job” 24/7/365. When a leader wakes up from a dead sleep in the middle of a cold winter’s night by a phone call from their smallest most insignificant customer, they are wide awake and focused on doing whatever they can to serve them, to make it right.
Whether that customer is a brand new employee working on the loading dock or one whose orders are so small you have to batch two or three of them together them to meet your shipping requirements - where are you? Are you in the car on the way to the office, heading to the freeway off ramp where their car broke down, or are you still in bed with the voicemail picking up?
Your answer will tell a great deal about you as an effective leader.
How much of your energy is being spent helping your subordinates develop their business leadership management effectiveness? Does every decision that’s made have to be signed off on by you before actions can be taken? Or do you grow your people, always looking for ways to release their power by delegating every decision that it is possible for someone else to make?
Isn’t is true that every organizational decision that’s made is an opportunity to stretch your employees, enhance their judgement and willingness to takes the risks and assume the responsibilities of leadership.
Building their employee’s self-confidence at every opportunity, the effective leader never misses a chance to help their people grow today so they will be ready to make the decisions required tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow.
Your employees are your greatest asset. Always look for ways to help those assets appreciate in value, always give your people the opportunities to achieve and then recognize their actions and reward them for taking them.
Leaders know that in these competitive times those who execute with excellence are demonstrating the single competitive advantage they have, and the one that gets or loses the business every time.
Leaders always act like they own the place, especially if they don’t. They spend the organization’s money like it was coming right out of their pocket even when it isn’t. And the decisions they make represent the kind of decisions that would make the organization’s founders proud.
These challenging times require each of us to be more effective leaders. When we are asked to make the tough decisions we make them. Leaders have the courage of our convictions, and the character to see it through no matter what.
