Leadership Training Course - Get Better Results by Improving Your Leadership Style
If someone elects not to work for us, we are powerless. We cannot exercise power over someone who withholds their discretionary effort. When staff members copy or fit in with the effort and energy level of their peers, we have no way of forcing them to perform at a higher level. We cannot exert force to gain compliance. Compliance seems to indicate some minimal level of effort and achievement. The continued use of force indicates a substantial deficiency in leadership skills and produces predictable feelings of resentment which lead to a lack of cooperation. Force and blame when applied over a period of time, create a culture within the organization of what could be described as "job maintenance." This is where people do the barest minimum to maintain their employment.
Many organizations possess pockets of this culture and they can be clearly attributed to the style of local leaders. In the worst-case, the whole organization is infected because the CEO has created an environment of force and blame and this has filtered through the whole leadership structure. When you look at low performing organizations you often find an environment which limits the performance of each and every person working there.
Our power as leaders is conferred upon us by our followers. Those individuals choose to extend or withhold our power. Our power flows from our followers. There are many, many competent and able people who have comprehensively failed in leadership roles because they believe that the flow of power operated in the opposite direction. They saw their leadership position as a control and command function where they told their people what to do and how to do it.
It would pay those CEOs who head up low performing organizations to consider their leadership style because it may be the prime cause of poor performance. By the same token, anybody in a leadership position who is having issues with the performance of their team could benefit from a self audit of their style of leadership. The most honest and relevant information about your leadership style will come from your followers. However, you need to ensure that they have an opportunity to express themselves in a way is that they can be free from any perception of retribution. It may be a most uncomfortable experience for you, but will give you their perception of your leadership style and the opportunity to make adjustments.
If you do make adjustments, there may be some suspicion in the initial days because any changes could lead to an erosion of credibility. As you go on and maintain your consistency in your new style, your credibility will be gradually restored.
