What makes a GREAT leader? This is a question that will be posed by many business leaders over the next 100 years. Because how many of us want to be known as a BAD leader!! We want history to be kind to us and therefore, the pursuit of honing the skill and craft of leadership is essential in these 'fluid' times to grow our businesses and to get the best out of our people.
We have engaged, chatted, and worked with 10,000s business leaders, so hopefully, we have a good appreciation of what 'good leadership' looks like.
One way that we help our clients navigate this element of what 'good' looks like in leadership is to subject them to our 360 Leadership Review.
This is an online assessment that focussed on 5 key facets of leadership, which I will explain in the diagram below:
LEAD
This part of the online assessment looks at your capabilities of leading to:
Establishing purpose and direction
Lead change in the organisation
MANAGE
This encompasses your ability to:
Set clear performance standards
Manage individual and team performances
Organise and Plan
COACHING
This encompasses your ability to:
Network
Influence others
CORE ‒ the glue that provides the foundation of GREAT leaders
This section establishes perceptions of the individual:
Emotional Intelligence. Empathy awareness of self and others, flexibility and self-control
Self-confidence, care for others, resilience and tenacity, attitudes towards risk, responsibility and the extent to which the individual role models the values and standards expected of them.
Integrity, values, and ethics
If you want to participate in our 360 Leadership review then please do not hesitate to contact us. The impact on the leaders that have participated in the survey has been life-changing, a term that I do not use lightly. Click the link here for more information.
Leaders have to learn and assess to become GREAT leaders. When was the last time that you assessed your leadership credentials with your people?
