IDENTIFY LEADERSHIP STYLES TO BUILD EFFECTIVE TEAMS
Society wants to know how to create better leaders in business, government, and not-for-profit organizations.
Over my career, like others in my profession, I originally focused on individuals - identifying the most important competencies, traits or skills. The goal was to discover leadership’s secret ingredients. Once found, we could share that information with others and produce better leaders.
My beliefs have evolved. I now give equal focus on building teams that trust each other and have what it takes to achieve the vision, mission or strategy. I’ve identified four basic leadership preferences—vision-centered, customer-centered, organization-centered and people-centered. The goal is to build teams that draw upon the strengths of all four preferences while compensating for the weaknesses of each.

3 年Ted, you continue to impress me. Not sure how you found the time to write a book along with your jam-packed day job, but go YOU!

3 年A good opportunity to reflect on one's own style. This may be why we see some leaders appear to be more successful in one organization and find it difficult to navigate in others.
Love to see you (continue) making the world of work a better one.
