As a corporate leader, you must find a way to get executives emotionally engaged with each other and with the strategy. People change when they are emotionally engaged.

Vision Vision is a short, succinct, and inspiring statement of what the organization intends to become and to achieve at some point in the future, often stated in competitive terms. The purpose of articulating a coherent vision of a desirable future in which your organization could thrive is to focus your organization and your partners on those things you could now to bring that future state about. Thus your vision performs both a directional and a motivational function. As a leader developing a vision, you must seek out the ideas and ideals that will inspire your organization and motivate its members to work toward greatness. Vision refers to the category of intentions that are broad, all-inclusive and forward-thinking. It is the image that a business must have of its goals before it sets out to reach them. It describes aspirations for the future, without specifying the means that will be used to achieve those desired ends. The corporate success depends on the vision articulated by the chief executive or the top management. For a vision to have any impact of the employees of an organization it has to be conveyed in a dramatic and enduring way. The most effective visions are those that inspire, usually asking employees for the best, the most or the greatest. Make sure you keep stretch in your vision, communicate it constantly, and keep linking the events of today to your vision, underscoring the relationship between the two. "Numbers have little to do with creating a vision of fulfilling a mission; they don't instill corporate values into the minds and hearts of the employees, and they don't provide much help in living up to those values or carrying out the vision. In short, it's not management philosophy, it's just a lot of cheerleading. And cheerleading doesn't turn a company around,“ says Jack Welch. Warren Bennis says: "To choose a direction, an executive must have developed a mental image of the possible and desirable future state of the organization. This image, which we call a vision, may be as vague as a dream or as precise as a goal or a mission statement.“ Brand Vision In the conventional view, a corporate strategy usually consists of developing an all-encompassing vision. The modern view is that brands now drive business strategy. In fact, brand visions are now replacing corporate visions, so powerful is their impact on profits.

The True Leader You can't tell a real dancer from the dance. Similarly, you can't tell a real leader from his quest for positive change. Your ability to translate intention into reality and to act on your intention comes from your commitment. Commitment consists of a set of positive beliefs and intentions coupled with an equally appropriate set of positive action and behavior. It's not enough just to say you want to do right things, you must "walk your talk". Case in Point:  Alexander The Great Alexander the Great, the king of Macedonia, was one of the most superb leaders of all time. Many great leaders have accomplished great feats but none more so than this great leader. Alexander became king at the age of 19. In the next 11 years, he conquered much of the known world, leading his armies against numerically superior forces. Yet, when he was at the height of his power, he would still draw his sword at the beginning of a battle and lead his men forward into the conflict. No other man could motivated his troops as Alexander did. Alexander also led by example. He risked his life in battle where he would join his army in the front line and would fight as one of the warriors. Alexander felt that he could not ask his men to risk their lives unless he was willing to demonstrate by his actions that he had complete confidence in the outcome. This was always an uplifting and inspiring action of Alexander's and one which led to him suffering similar wounds that his army suffered. The sight of Alexander charging forward so excited and motivated his soldiers that no force on earth could stand before them. Case in Point:  Xenophon The ancient Greeks were superior fighters, both tactically and technologically. They knew how to fight as a team, and their swords and shields were uniquely adapted for their phalanx warfare. They also possessed the most salient edge of all: leadership. Xenophon (431-350 BC), like all Greek commanders, led from the front; he was seen in the thick of combat, never flinching, always seeming to do the right thing. Historian Victor Davis Hanson attributes Xenophon's success to the superior Greek culture – not superior in a racial sense, but superior in the sense of what we today would call shared values, common purpose, and genuine leadership.

Entrepreneurial Leadership Defined In the increasingly turbulent and competitive environment business firms face today, a new type of "entrepreneurial" leader distinct from other behavioral forms of managerial leadership is required. Entrepreneurial leadership is leadership that is based on the attitude that the leader is self-employed. Leaders of this type: take initiative and act as if they are playing a critical role in the organization rather than a mostly important one and energize their people, demonstrate entrepreneurial creativity, search continuously for new opportunities and pursue them, take risk, venture into new areas and provide strategic direction and inspiration to their people, take responsibility for the failures of their team, learn from these failures and use them as a step to ultimate success and strategic achievement. Entrepreneurial leadership involves instilling the confidence to think, behave and act with entrepreneurship in the interests of fully realizing the intended purpose of the organization to the beneficial growth of all stakeholders involved. Key Benefits In the new era of rapid changes and knowledge-based enterprises, managerial work becomes increasingly a leadership task. Leadership is the primary force behind successful change. Leaders empower employees to act on the vision. They execute through inspiration and develop implementation capacity networks through a complex web of aligned relationships. Entrepreneurial leadership is not a position, it is a process. The entrepreneurial leader takes responsibility to assist the organization in creating such conditions so that, instead of being controlled, the organization generates its own order and responds creatively to the environment. This role is not only more productive for the organization, it is liberating for the leader as well. By helping to unleash the creative potential of their organizations, entrepreneurial leaders are unleashing their own.

Inspirational Leadership Inspirational leaders create an inspiring culture within their organization. People are not led by plans and evaluations. If you want to move and get the best from your people, don't say "I have a strategic plan". You must create inspiration, self-respect, a sense of ownership and excitement. Inspirational leaders breathe life, confidence and creativity into the organization. They create 'can-do' attitude and make business fun. They unlock inner power of their people and sustain their commitment. They inspire, energize and move people. They build corporate communities in which people feel valued, capable, confident and strong. They inspire team members to believe in the extraordinary work they can do together. People do what they have to do for a manager, they do their best for an inspirational leader. Motivate Every Employee Every person has a greater potential than they are exhibiting, and as a leader, it's your responsibility to maximize their potential and performance and the results of each member of your team. As an inspirational leader, you have great influence on employee motivation. With the right set of techniques you can affect your employees' behaviors right now. "You can reawaken and revive the spirit in your organization. Not only that, you can inspire all those around you by creating an environment in which employees will tap their own motivational energy and perform their best work,“ says Anne Bruce, the author of How To Motivate Every Employee . Best Practices: Six Golden Rules These Six Golden Rules are given to every new recruit in one winning organization. 1. Do more than just get by 2. Train and be trained 3. Take advantage of every opportunity 4. Be fair to the company 5. Seek solutions and not problems 6. Enjoy your work – and smile

Four Principles of Empowering and Energizing Employees (According to Joe Scanlon) Identity. Everyone in the company must understand the business, its goals, and the need for profitability. Participation. Everyone in the company must have the opportunity to influence decisions. Competence. Each person must continually improve his or her abilities. Equity . Returns should be shared with employees, investors, and managers. Each must get a fair return. What Energizes Employees What energizes people is the broader horizon, the excitement of new challenges and big opportunities. When their leaders offer this excitement, people come alive. The one-on-one relationships that individual workers have with their managers, and the trust, respect, and consideration that their managers show toward them on a daily basis are also at the core of an energized workforce. Case in Point: Lessons from Jack Welch Jack Welch's goal was to make GE "the world's most competitive enterprise." He knew that the current business environment requires an energized, energizing leader: "You've got to be live action all day. And you've got to be able to energize others. Your cannot be this thoughtful, in-the-corner-office guru. You cannot be a moderate, balanced, thoughtful, careful articulator of policy. You've got to be on the lunatic fringe." Welch urged everybody to stretch. Stretch targets energize. "We have found that by reaching for what appears to be the impossible, we often actually do the impossible; and even when we don't quite make it, we inevitably wind up doing much better than we would have done.“ Genuine leadership comes from the quality of your vision and your ability to spark others to extraordinary performance. Getting employees excited about their work is the key to being a great business leader. "We now know where productivity - real and limitless productivity - comes from. It comes from challenged, empowered, excited, rewarded teams of people."

Case in Point: Jack Welch Some years ago, in locations throughout GE, local managers were operating in an insulated environment with Chinese walls separating them, both horizontally and vertically, from other departments and their workforce. Employee questions, initiatives, and feedback were discouraged. In the new knowledge-driven economy, Jack Welch, the former CEO, General Electric, viewed this as anathema. He believed in creating an open collaborative workplace where everyone's opinion was welcome. He wrote in a letter to shareholders: "If you want to get the benefit of everything employees have, you've got to free them – make everybody a participant. Everybody has to know everything, so they can make the right decisions by themselves." Case in Point:  "Great Game of Business" Jack Stack, the President and CEO of engine rebuilder SRC Corporation, developed an employee-empowerment program known as the "Great Game of Business." Four of its tenets are: 1. We want to live up to our end of the employment bargain. 2. We want employees to seek new challenges by thinking about where they want to go in their work and their lives, instead of getting trapped in the same old routines. 3. We want get rid of the "employee" mentality. Each person thinks and acts like an owner. 4. We want to create and distribute wealth. Productivity improves as employees work to create an organization based on continuous improvement and on helping one another. Case in Point:  Toyota Production System The fundamental reason for Toyota's success in the global marketplace lies in its corporate philosophy – the set of rules and attitudes that govern the use of its resources. Toyota have successfully penetrated global markets and established a world-wide presence by virtue of its productivity. The intent implicit in the Toyota Production System is to stimulate people to think constantly – a "self-running, selfimproving" system. Everyone, not just managers, can see what's happening. Every problem prompts why questions. Empowered workers can solve problems at a very detailed level. A lean learning culture permeates the entire company. Customer value creation and customer satisfaction results from enterprise-wide performance.

Why Servant Leadership? The principle behind effective leadership is based on the interplay of responsibility, respect, and care. The qualities of a servant leader are also the attributes of love, which is defined as one's behavior towards others. All these behaviors will entail you to serve and sacrifice for others. This would mean setting aside your own wants and needs to focus on the legitimate needs of others. The True Power "The person who boasts about being a leader isn't one. The true leader doesn't boast about it. He has no ego investment in being a leader; he just is. He knows that his power comes not from authority but from his people, so he uses his position to assure that they have the resources and support they need to do their work. Thus people give him power, because they know he will use it to benefit everyone and not just himself. This is true power.", says James A. Autry, the author of Real Power: Business Lessons from Tao Te Ching . The Law of Harvest You reap what you saw. For authority or influence to flourish, the right environment must be provided and nurturing behavior must be present. Bear in mind however that influence is not something that grows overnight, it grows in time. Follow Your Employees You cannot lead people unless they are willing to follow you. People will trust you if you help them achieve more, unleash their creativity and bring out their own sense of worth. So be willing to follow your employees periodically to win their trust and understand their needs and capabilities better. By doing so you'll learn what to do in order to inspire them to follow you and bring out their best. The Rewards of Leading with Authority Leading with authority enables you to have a personal mission statement: to serve the people you lead, to serve their needs, to give praise and recognition, to show kindness, and to be honest, among other things. “When servant leadership becomes your ethos in life, people would be lining un to join your cause,” says James C. Hunter.

Why Teambuilding? Teamwork is essential for competing in today's global arena, where individual perfection is not as desirable as a high level of collective performance. In knowledge based enterprises, teams are the norm rather than the exception. A critical feature of these team is that they have a significant degree of empowerment, or decision-making authority. There are many different kinds of teams: top management teams, focused task forces, self-directed teams, concurrent engineering teams, product/service development and/or launch teams, quality improvement teams, and so on. Building the Dream Team The Dream Team has from three to ten people, focused on a common target, with interconnected roles, complementary know-how, self-created process, and a "committed connectedness" that holds all members mutually and equally responsible and accountable for the results. (J.Katzenbach and D.Smith) Characteristics of Winning Teams According to Nick Thornely and Dan Lees, winning teams: have a great many winners in them; most of the players poised and confident, and although they may well be 'stars' in their own right they allow others to shine in order to a 'star team' together often include winning groups and combinations which work together so well they seem to have a six sense, whereas in fact they have merely learned to cooperate to make each other winners and to make a team a winning team have the winning habit and because they usually have more winning games behind them than otherwise they go into every game expecting to win develop a synergy that comes from winning and which increases not by simple progression but exponentially: 1×1=11 develop both mental and physical energy to withstand adversity create a winning atmosphere - everyone surrounding them emerges as a winner make winning contagious so that new comers soon acquire the team's magic.

Provide purpose. Everything starts with vision. You cannot have a real team without one because people will not find the desire to achieve the common goal. The team members will work together and sacrifice only if they can see what they're working toward. Build a star team, not a team of stars . Teach people to cooperate to make a team a winning team, and thus all of them winners. Establish shared values and  an environment oriented to trust, joint creativity, open communication, and cohesive team effort. Establish shared ownership for the results. Start with yourself – share your own individual results with the group. Shared responsibility is better achieved if the pay and reward system has a significant element that is dependent on the overall outcome. Develop team members to fullest potential. Bring out the best in your people. Lead by setting a good example. Train, coach and provide effective feedback. Make the work interesting and engaging. Create enjoyable work environment. Encourage entrepreneurial creativity, risk-taking, and constant improvement. Develop a self-managing team. Develop team members so that they can lead themselves. Don't give direct commands or instructions, use questions and coaching instead. Empower people, delegate authority, and be open to ideas. Trust your team, rely on their judgment.. Motivate and inspire team members. Be enthusiastic, inspire and energize people. Set stretch goals. Recognize and celebrate team and team member accomplishments and exceptional performance Lead and facilitate constructive communication. Communicate in a way that is truthful and believable to team members. Encourage open communication among team members and communicate team views to and from other teams. Encourage self-criticism and rehearsal. Monitor, but don't micromanage. Avoid close supervision; do not overboss; do not dictate. Help keep the team focused and on track. Communicate team status, task accomplishment, and direction. Intervene when necessary to aid the group in resolving issues.
