Leaders obsess over customers and work backwards from their needs. They think long term and take ownership across their organization, never saying tasks are not their responsibility. Leaders encourage innovation, simplification, and learning from all sources. They hire and develop exceptional talent while driving relentless improvement and high standards. Leaders inspire bold visions and take calculated risks through action, frugality, and trust-building.

Every startup encounters speed bumps on the highway of growth. It’s the people on your team who will enable your company to power through them. Skills and capabilities must evolve as you grow.

Cracking the Transformational Leadership CodeWorkforce Group
There’s more to leadership than having a notable title and being in charge of a team. You might have the authority to manage other people, but if you’re an unsuccessful leader, you won’t be able to guide and inspire your employees to accomplish their goals.
Leadership cannot be limited to just one fixed definition. Different individuals from various organisations around the world understand and apply their leadership qualities in a myriad of ways.
However, most of them may agree that leadership is not synonymous with designation titles, that it requires some form of social influence, and it’s more than just effective management skills.
In today’s complex, ever-changing environment, leaders with integrity, vision and commitment offer timeless assets to any organisation. But today, the best leaders also lead through influence, make decisions quickly and stay on top of the big picture.
These are transformational leaders—the kind of leaders that have a high level of awareness of the importance of emotional intelligence in leadership.
In this deck, you will learn;
1. What stands you out as a transformational leader
2. The tools and techniques for developing and refining your leadership skills.
3. The distinct difference between some leadership styles
4. The components of transformational leadership.
The way we work has changed forever, and leaders are facing new and unprecedented changes as a result. Is your team ready and equipped to lead your company successfully into the New Normal? Understand whether a Leadership Perception Gap is hampering progress, and the 7 essential qualities leaders need to succeed in today's environment.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

Artificial intelligence (AI) offers new opportunities to radically reinvent the way we do business. This study explores how CEOs and top decision makers around the world are responding to the transformative potential of AI.
1. Customer Obsession
Leaders start with the customer and work backwards. They work
vigorously to earn and keep customer trust. Although leaders pay attention
to competitors, they obsess over customers.
2. Ownership
Leaders are owners. They think long term and don’t sacrifice long-term value
for short-term results. They act on behalf of the entire company, beyond just
their own team. They never say “that’s not my job".
3. Invent and Simplify
Leaders expect and require innovation and invention from their teams and
always find ways to simplify. They are externally aware, look for new ideas from
everywhere, and are not limited by “not invented here".
As we do new things, we accept that we may be misunderstood for long periods
of time.
4. Are Right, A Lot
Leaders are right a lot. They have strong judgment and good instincts.
They seek diverse perspectives and work to disconfirm their beliefs.
5. Learn and Be Curious
Leaders are never done learning and always seek to improve themselves.
They are curious about new possibilities and act to explore them.
6. Hire and Develop the Best
Leaders raise the performance bar with every hire and promotion.
They recognize exceptional talent, and willingly move them throughout the
organization. Leaders develop leaders and take seriously their role in
coaching others. We work on behalf of our people to invent mechanisms for
development like Career Choice.
7. Insist on the Highest Standards
Leaders have relentlessly high standards - many people may think these
standards are unreasonably high. Leaders are continually raising the bar and
drive their teams to deliver high quality products, services and processes.
Leaders ensure that defects do not get sent down the line and that problems
are fixed so they stay fixed.
8. Think Big
Thinking small is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Leaders create and communicate
a bold direction that inspires results. They think differently and look around
corners for ways to serve customers.
9. Bias for Action
Speed matters in business. Many decisions and actions are reversible and do
not need extensive study. We value calculated risk taking.
10. Frugality
Accomplish more with less. Constraints breed resourcefulness, self-sufficiency
and invention. There are no extra points for growing headcount, budget size or
fixed expense.
11. Earn Trust
Leaders listen attentively, speak candidly, and treat others respectfully. They
are vocally self-critical, even when doing so is awkward or
embarrassing. Leaders do not believe their or their team’s body odor smells
of perfume. They benchmark themselves and their teams against the best.
12. Dive Deep
Leaders operate at all levels, stay connected to the details, audit
frequently, and are skeptical when metrics and anecdote differ. No task is
beneath them.
13. Have Backbone; Disagree and Commit
Leaders are obligated to respectfully challenge decisions when they
disagree, even when doing so is uncomfortable or exhausting. Leaders
have conviction and are tenacious. They do not compromise for the sake
of social cohesion. Once a decision is determined, they commit wholly.
14. Deliver Results
Leaders focus on the key inputs for their business and deliver them with the
right quality and in a timely fashion. Despite setbacks, they rise to the
occasion and never settle.
