There is nothing more destructive to an organization than a leader who is out of touch. You have to remain relevant. There is no doubt our world has changed; a lot of it for the better. Our workforces have also changed in the cultural adaptations of how we treat women and minorities with dramatic and positive change. If you haven’t yet adapted to these realities as a leader in the forms of jokes, condescending phrases, and other unacceptable cultural norms you are heading for troubled waters.
Are you prepared to accept the personal and professional consequences of knowingly or unknowingly
demeaning the inherent value of another human being? Yet behaviour lapses time and time again show us that the inability or unwillingness to adapt and stay relevant to these changes reveal leadership weakness that leads to irresolvable damage to team unity, team cohesion, and team performance.
There are three foundational skill sets every leader should hone to develop a high level behaviour performance and to maximize highly effective relationships with team members. They are a Learner’s Attitude, Humility, and Selflessness.
Acquiring new skills also requires learning and change — one cannot learn and still be the same person, team, or organization. There is a constant evolution in the way we think and act, brought about by new understanding, new knowledge, and new skills. When you are ready to change, start with the skill of Positive Presence, an innovative thought model connecting workplace behaviour to human energy and provides a systematic, programmatic methodology for equipping leaders with the knowledge and understanding necessary for developing and sustaining the behaviour skills needed for influential leadership.
