The Boston Consulting Group has four videos on "Winning in a Downturn, Accelerating in the Upturn" on the Wharton @Knowledge site. The focus on (1) Generating Cash, (2) Finding Strategic Opportunities, (3) Managing in Turbulent Times and (4) Seeking New Sources of Growth.
A few take-aways:
- Leaders must listen (like never before) to employees, clients and the market to identify opportunities and possible land mines.
- Leaders must focus on maintaining trust (like never before) to keep key talent and teams together. People may stay with a troubled company in a difficult time when the job market is down, but when it picks up, they may bail for other opportunities. Leaders must act with integrity and transparency.
- Leaders must focus on improving morale (like never before) to keep people focused and motivated to perform.
Leadership in Changing Landscape
Changes during the past decade has been at much faster speed than ever before in all the aspects of life and business. Invention of mobile phones and internet has changed the communication and speed of information exchange. Technology has given more and more start ups with the ability to compete head on with larger organisations by disrupting the status quo. The need today is to provide better leadership for people, for organizations and most recently partnerships and communities. This makes difference to performance.
This write up seeks to explain readers about how leadership differs from management. The managerial roles are based on knowledge, techniques, skills and emphasis on results within the parameters of organisation’s principles and policies where as leadership roles focuses on imagination, passion, commitment and fulfillment of dreams. Traditional management approaches based on scientific analysis do not contribute much towards understanding leadership. Understanding leadership is really about understanding life and this starts with gaining and understanding of self and people.
Leadership is to view a bigger picture where new creative ideas can invent new and dynamic organizations. A new perspective on leadership concept emerges from IMAGE Model which is highlighted below:
I: Innovative imagine and inspiring
M: Making Vow
A: Authentic
G: Guts
E: Ethics and Excellence.
Practices of exemplary leadership, which need to be displayed everywhere, be it at home or work place, are as follows:
a. Modeling the way: Setting the example, leaving out one’s professed values and creating win-win situation.
b. Challenging the process: Searching for and accepting challenging opportunities and taking risks.
c. Inspiring a shared vision: Holding and communicating a vision of what is possible, and getting everyone aligned to a common purpose.
d. Enabling others to act: Fostering collaboration and building energetic, winning teams based mutual trust understanding and shared goals.
