FROM CONTROL TO EMPOWERMENT

Bringing out the best in you so you can bring out the best in others
“Leadership is the pivotal force behind successful organizations. To create vital and viable organizations, leadership is necessary to develop a new vision of what they can be, and then mobilize the organization to change towards that vision.” -Warren Bennis & Burt Nanus, Leaders: Strategies for Taking Charge
Not too many years ago, poorly managed, bureaucratic and marginally competitive companies could survive. They relied on long-established customer relationships, predictable technologies, and regional or local market domination to get by. Today, however, most companies and industries are facing chaotic markets where the conditions for maintaining competitive advantage are changing so rapidly that it is difficult to keep up.
The leadership paradigm that worked for centuries is no longer adequate to manage organizations in these fast-paced and complex times. The traditional leadership model is based on hierarchy and such principles as centralization, standardization, uniformity, and control. Such principles were useful during the early days of the industrial revolution when management had to manage and control masses of untrained people in rather predictable and stable markets.
But that has changed. We now live in a digital age in which technological innovation changes the playing field every couple of years, customers and employees are educated and have many options, markets are global, and competition fierce.


The leaders of some of the most successful companies are rethinking what it means to lead. Companies such as W.L. Gore and Associates, Groupon, Google, Zappos, HCL Technologies, Great Harvest Bread Company, DaVita and many others are challenging traditional assumptions about leadership and creating high performance companies, among the best in their industries.
Good leadership is about harnessing the collective genius of people. It is about rallying everyone behind the mission and vision and creating the conditions in which people, collectively, perform at the peak of their ability. Effective leaders tear down walls. They bring people together. They build trust. They transform attitudes and behavior. They remove the barriers that keep people from being engaged and effective
