The document discusses a McKinsey study on effective leadership behaviors. The study identified 20 distinct leadership traits and surveyed over 189,000 people across diverse organizations to assess how frequently certain behaviors were applied. The results showed that leaders in top-performing organizations frequently displayed four key behaviors: solving problems effectively, operating with a strong results orientation, seeking different perspectives, and supporting others. These four behaviors explained 89% of the difference in leadership effectiveness between strong and weak organizations. The document concludes that focusing on developing these four core behaviors can help organizations improve their leadership.
Emergent leaders, the ones that get noticed, promoted and pampered in their organizations, typically exhibit strong self-confidence, decisiveness, and visionary thinking – which are not bad things. These characteristics are related to charisma. Too much might be as unacceptable as too little, though. Charisma has a dark side; it is linked to narcissism, and narcissism comes with disastrous side effects.
Multiple studies have revealed that it is humility in leadership that ensures results, productivity and effectiveness of an organization. Humility is a personality trait that is not glamorous at all, and often overlooked. Yet, it seems what many companies are missing in their endeavors to face and cope with the exigencies the 4th industrial revolution is presenting. According to their conversation on leadership 4.0 at the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting of the new champions, working with millennials, leaders say humility works better than bossing around (Vanham, 2019). Today, there are fewer possibilities for dysfunctional narcissistic leaders to mask or coat their misconduct. It is a huge opportunity for HR departments to make identifying humble leaders and developing humility in charismatic leaders a priority.
In the year 2002, Warren Buffett made an admission that he had not been as vigilant as he should have been in his role as Director of the various subsidiaries of his holding company, Berkshire Hathaway. In a letter to the shareholders he wrote “ Too often I was silent when management made proposals that I judged to be counter to the interest of the shareholders. In those cases, collegiality trumped independence and a certain social atmosphere presides in boardrooms where it becomes impolitic to challenge the Chief Executive.
Kevin Sharer, Chairman of Amgen, the US biotech company, portrayed a very different relationship between board and chief executive. “ Working with the board is vital, complex, and beyond your prior experience. It is among the most complex human relationships, especially if you are the chairman, when you are their boss, and they are your boss. Get the relationship right or it will hurt you.
These two very different experiences open a new book, Boards that Lead- When to take charge, When to Partner and When to stay out of the way. The central premise of the books is a plea. “ Governing boards should take more active leadership of the enterprises, not just monitor its management?
The growing complexity of markets and strategy, the authors say, is one of the biggest challenges for board members. It also means that they cannot afford to sit back and rubber stamp executive’s plans.
Boards often fail to do their job, they point out, for example failing to do their due diligence. They cite the example of Yahoo’s Chief Executive Scott Thompson. After a few months in the post, it was discovered that he had listed a degree in both accounting and computer science, but had actually earned only the first.

A company is in Prime when form and function are in balance. The what and the how are in balance. Prior to Prime, function is more important than form. In other words, what we do is more important than how we do it. After Prime, how we do it is more important than what we do. That is why, after Prime, how you do something and whom you know is more important than what you do. In Prime, the what and how are in balance. In Prime, the company is both flexible and in control. Prior to Prime, the company is flexible, but not very much in control of itself. After Prime, control is very high, and the company loses flexibility. In Prime, flexibility and control are together.
However, in a company in Prime, the management is not as flexible as before Prime, because there is professional management: The tendency to depend on any single indispensable individual does not exist as it does in younger companies. On the other hand, in Prime, the organization has a strategic outlook without losing attention to detail. Furthermore, the organization does not look only at detail without losing its strategic outlook, so the company in Prime has controlled flexibility, and it doesn’t depend on any single individual.

Rumelt describes strategizing as identifying pivotal issues within your market and your industry and making a plan focused on forceful, results-oriented action. He reminds readers that strategy has little to do with ambitious goals, vision, leadership, innovation or determination. For many business leaders, strategy means promulgating meaningless slogans that tout impressive but unrealistic goals. A sound business strategy presents a specific action plan to overcome a defined challenge. Rumelt says good strategy involves multiple analyses and the painstaking development of thoughtful, expertly implemented policies that surmount obstacles and move the firm profitably ahead.

Koning Filip is het jaar slecht begonnen. Niet in zijn ogen uiteraard. Want hij heeft al twee van de vier recepties achter de rug en vandaag viert hij de vijfennegentigste (!) verjaardag van Jean van Luxemburg.
Binnenkort vertrekt hij naar Davos voor een vakantie, sorry: werkvakantie. En dan hebben we het niet over de vele concerten en tentoonstellingen. Ja, de koning heeft het zwaar, om Geert Hoste te parafraseren.
Filip dénkt dat hij hard werkt. Maar hij beweegt zich in een parallelle wereld: recepties, verjaardagsfeestjes, tentoonstellingen, concerten, werkvakanties.
Natuurlijk, koningen hebben altijd in spiegelpaleizen geleefd waar ze niet de werkelijkheid zien maar een realiteit die hen voorgespiegeld wordt door jaknikkende adviseurs.
Maar bij Filip is het nog erger. Zijn vader wist dat en nam zichzelf gelukkig niet al te ernstig. Filip wel. En dat maakt hem onuitstaanbaar.

ongoing change and the loss of wisdom and

IMPACT OF PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT ON SUCCESSION PLANNINGindexPub
Motivation: HR in an organization faces various challenges in business environment, such as Building Capabilities, Improving Productivity, Building Performance Culture, Talent Management, Succession Planning for Key Leadership and Critical Roles, Developing Accountability and Ownership, Human Capital Management and transforming HR function into developmental Role from the legacy driven HR, etc. Succession Planning is the process of identifying and developing individuals, who have potential to hold the key leadership position in an Organization, whereas Performance Management includes assessing and improving upon the performance of an employee to meet the organizational goals. There are several Management Practices, which are adopted widely in Industry to make a successful Succession Planning. Workforce and Talent Management is one of them. The health of an organization majorly depends on the proper placement of people, which is a combined outcome of Talent Identification, Talent Development and Talent Retention. Performance Management plays a vital role in Talent Identification. It also has an impact on Talent Development and Talent Retention. The key idea of succession planning suggests that the right person to be placed at the right position at the right time. Succession planning is becoming a challenge these days in the corporate world. Organizations are often not found prepared with their successors to occupy the key positions as and when required. The positions are either kept vacant for a substantial period or more than one role is assigned to a single person. Identifying the right talent for the key positions from outside the organization and recruiting them is a much more difficult task at the eleventh hour. This has a significant impact on organizational health and in turn to organizational sustainability. Organizations must last longer than people. Role of organization continues even when the people move out. Employees must superannuate after attaining a certain age. Also, organizations must have a contingency plan for sudden vacancy arises out of attrition, health hazards and death of employee. Succession planning is the strategy to ensure that a suitable person is made available during exigencies. Employees are developed for taking on higher responsibilities and for the new roles that may emerge in future. The placement of Key Leadership positions can be executed either by inviting the talent from outside or developing the talent in-house. The latter is always in demand keeping in view the core values of the organization and the impact on loyalty and organizational culture in a long run. It is preferable to develop the in-house talent pool to reduce dependency on recruitment of experienced people from outside for the critical roles. It brings the talent acquisition cost low and contributes as a motivating factor for the team as well. The acceptability of a person placed at Top / Key Leadership Positions is high when these are occupied
CHAPTER 2
BUILDING COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE THROUGH
INTEGRATED TALENT MANAGEMENT
Marcia J. Avedon, Gillian Scholes
The business world is more dynamic today than ever before with an
accelerating pace of new technologies, increasing globalization of markets
and competition, changing regulatory requirements, and increasingly
commonplace mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures. In this tumultuous
environment, organizations must continually renew their organizational
capability to achieve competitive advantage. However, it is increasingly
challenging to find the talent needed to compete in this dynamic business
environment.
The availability of educated, working-age talent is shrinking in many of
the world’s labor markets (Zolli, 2007). Multinational companies are
moving work to developing lower-cost countries, only to find the talent
wars and wages subsequently escalating in those countries (Qihan &
Denmat, 2006). Skilled leaders and other professionals, with the
capabilities to enter new markets, create new business models, and
innovate new technologies, are highly sought after (Michaels, Handfield-
Jones, & Axelrod, 2001). Consequently, the demand for talent is
outstripping the supply. As a result, top performers in key talent pools
typically have multiple employment opportunities at any point in time. In
addition, senior leaders, including CEOs, are in their jobs for shorter
periods of time (Lucier, Kocourek, & Habbel, 2006), and employees
generally no longer expect lifetime employment with one company.
Leadership and employee development, through experience and
education, still takes considerable time and effort and will never be a
quick fix. This set of complex, changing business and talent realities
creates the imperative for companies to focus on talent in a strategic,
systemic, and customized manner.
The ability for a firm to create an integrated system that yields a continual
flow of talent ready to address specific strategic and operational
opportunities may be the single-most enduring competitive advantage.
While organizations often find that their strategies, products, services, or
markets require change, the need to have relevant, differentiated talent to
achieve these business goals remains constant. However, the specific
talent strategies need to adapt accordingly. Several recent surveys of both
chief executive officers and chief human resource officers confirm that
attracting, developing, and retaining talent is a top concern (Donlon,
2007; HR Policy Association, 2007). One CEO identified the point well
(Donlon, 2007): “We are the most highly regulated industry in the world,
and we have the most compliance issues in the world. So, those are risks,
but our single biggest issue is human capital. We are losing it really fast
and that is really scary.”
This chapter provides definitions, models, and examples for creating a
dynamic, customized, and integrated talent management system. We do
not .

Leadership Ethics and Change, Purpose to Impact Plan
Decoding leadership what really matters
1. Telling CEOs these days that leadership drives performance is a bit
like saying that oxygen is necessary to breathe. Over 90 percent
of CEOs are already planning to increase investment in leadership
development because they see it as the single most important
human-capital issue their organizations face.1 And they’re right to do
so: earlier McKinsey research has consistently shown that good
leadership is a critical part of organizational health, which is an
important driver of shareholder returns.2
A big, unresolved issue is what sort of leadership behavior organi-
zations should encourage. Is leadership so contextual that it
defies standard definitions or development approaches?3 Should
companies now concentrate their efforts on priorities such as
role modeling, making decisions quickly, defining visions, and shaping
leaders who are good at adapting? Should they stress the virtues
Decoding leadership:
What really matters
New research suggests that the secret to
developing effective leaders is to encourage
four types of behavior.

explain why only 43 percent of CEOs are confident that their
training investments will bear fruit.

among frontline leaders. Using our own practical experience
and searching the relevant academic literature, we came up with a
comprehensive list of 20 distinct leadership traits. Next, we surveyed
189,000 people in 81 diverse organizations4 around the world to
assess how frequently certain kinds of leadership behavior are applied
within their organizations. Finally, we divided the sample into organi-
zations whose leadership performance was strong (the top quartile
of leadership effectiveness as measured by McKinsey’s Organizational
Health Index) and those that were weak (bottom quartile).
What we found was that leaders in organizations with high-quality
leadership teams typically displayed 4 of the 20 possible types
of behavior; these 4, indeed, explained 89 percent of the variance
between strong and weak organizations in terms of leadership
effectiveness (exhibit).
• Solving problems effectively. The process that precedes decision
making is problem solving, when information is gathered, analyzed,
and considered. This is deceptively difficult to get right, yet it is
a key input into decision making for major issues (such as MA) as
well as daily ones (such as how to handle a team dispute).
• Operating with a strong results orientation. Leadership is about
not only developing and communicating a vision and setting
objectives but also following through to achieve results. Leaders
with a strong results orientation tend to emphasize the importance
of efficiency and productivity and to prioritize the highest-value work.
4 The 81 organizations are diverse in geography (for instance, Asia, Europe, Latin America,
and North America), industry (agriculture, consulting, energy, government, insurance,
mining, and real estate), and size (from about 7,500 employees to 300,000).

• Seeking different perspectives. This trait is conspicuous in man-
agers who monitor trends affecting organizations, grasp changes
in the environment, encourage employees to contribute ideas that
could improve performance, accurately differentiate between
important and unimportant issues, and give the appropriate weight
to stakeholder concerns. Leaders who do well on this dimension
typically base their decisions on sound analysis and avoid the many
biases to which decisions are prone.
