LinkedIn Post: Lead the way.

If you can’t lead yourself, there is no way you can lead others ...

LEAD SELF

Leading self is a cornerstone of strategic leadership.

It involves understanding how you are wired up (personality), what your strengths and natural gifts are, and proactively recharging your Mojo and resilience.

It also involves periodically seeking objective feedback through a 360 process to ascertain how others see and experience your leadership style.

AsDaniel Golemanreminds us in his prologue to "Optimal", leading self involves ensuring that our attitudes and behaviours align with our espoused values, and that we are clear about our needs and hot buttons.

LEAD THE WAY

As a senior executive you need to not only be effective at "leading self", but you also need to "lead the way" to take others on your leadership journey.

"Lead the way" involves deploying an organisation-wide process for:

1 Developing the leaders you lead.
Providing all leaders with the right training and tools so they are well equipped to build high performing teams through empowering work experiences.

2.. Building teams consisting of team players.
Selecting, on-boarding and transforming team members into collaborative team players.

3. Role Clarity and Job Crafting.
Continuously developing team players to their full potential and providing them with interesting and challenging roles.

4. Leading Change.
Articulating an inspiring vision and deploying change processes to ensure others are empowered to follow your lead.

5. Leading Strategically.
Deploying strategy creation and scenario processes and tools to create a sustainable competitive advantage for the organisation you lead.

As a senior executive you are expected to lead self, lead team, lead strategically, and lead the way as a leader of leaders.
