One of the key elements of our Uplifting Service program is Uplifting Leadership. Without strong leadership (character), there is no strong behavior to sustain culture and organizational performance. Therefore, creating performance-oriented teams and organizations requires a mindset of improving leadership—developing leadership competencies at all levels.
At Mentoras Limited, we view individual leadership as an essential element and foundation for delivering on our commitments to our stakeholders. All organizations must be leadership oriented. Everyone is a leader or is on their way to becoming a leader.
As a leadership coach for an organization, I recently dismantled a group of 4 staff members called the Management Team and replaced it with 15 staff members tagged as the Leadership Team. He intended to develop his team of 15 members at the same pace, regardless of grade or position within the group.
In my experience, I have seen people focus more on leadership titles and attributes than on actual job performance. It’s not the hands and tools that make a great carpenter, it’s the actual work. It is the plowing and sowing of the land that yields the harvest, not the farmer’s attributes or tools.
For organizations to achieve their corporate goals in 2023 and beyond, they must focus on increasing the leadership perspective, competence, and influence of all employees at all levels. Everyone in an organization must think and act like a leader.
Again, they are leaders or are on their way to becoming leaders. The driver is the leader of the driving process and the cleaner is the leader of the cleaning process. As leaders, instilling the spirit of leadership in people at all levels improves service and productivity, influencing all other key performance variables and metrics.
For organizations to achieve their corporate goals in 2023 and beyond, they must focus on increasing the leadership perspective, competence, and influence of all employees at all levels.
How can leaders instill a leadership mindset at every level?
The starting point is a radical departure from the norm. It takes boldness to do different things and achieve different results. It’s like telling a teacher to teach less so that the student can learn more.
Every team has team members who must lead. A leader and a leader never grow beyond his four human needs. We all need a sense of belonging. Without it, you would feel insecure. There is a need for value, purpose, and competence.
Suppose these needs are not addressed. In that case, your team member will feel inferior, illegitimate, and inadequate for the target you are trying to achieve. But your staff are not motivated or trained to own new aspirations.
The team will feel inadequate due to a lack of motivation.
I wrote earlier that everyone needs to be involved and grow to lead the various processes. In the next issue, I will write about how the Elevation process transforms your team’s operating environment and service delivery.
One of the key components to implementing uplifting leadership for team peak performance is the ability to identify personal anxieties within the group. Any unstable person or leader will eventually bring the organization to a standstill. Personal insecurities create an atmosphere of flattery and mediocrity.
As mentioned earlier, building a strong team requires strong characters. Insecure leaders do not provide security to others. They limit the best people on your team and spend more time keeping their jobs than moving the organization forward.
One of the key attributes I’ve discovered about all insecure leaders is what I call the 20-year syndrome. Insecure leaders frustrate the future leaders around them by relying too much on first-hand experience without fine-tuning it to the current reality.
For an organization to outperform past years and its competitors, it must renew its internal strength and capacity through leadership and service programs. It is the new inner strength within the team that offers the only hope of overcoming the inevitable environmental adversity of a changing business and regulatory environment and finishing well.
