Manage your leadership practices

This 2,550 word discussion document distinguishes leadership from management, defines both and introduces the uncommonly-practised notion of methodically managing leadership practices, to continually improve them. A conceptual basis and some straightforward "start here" steps are outlined to improve and strengthen everyday leadership behaviour.

Leadership and management influence is communicated by actions. Leadership values are measured by behaviours, whatever is espoused. Leaders need to hold the focus and remain in role, especially under emergencies. Order now.

Thriving!

The bad news is that there's not as much of it about as there could be. The good news is: (a) there's a lot you can do about it; (b) it doesn't have to be done all at once, immediately or perfectly; (c) incremental changes as part of a bigger plan can make the difference that matters.

This discussion paper introduces the pre-conditions of organisational thriving, contrasts them with the more common condition of organisational survival, and outlines fundamental steps for navigating from survival to thrival -

  • Priority management directly connected to what we claim to value.
  • Methodical planning and management of plans for the development of Task, Individuals and Teams.
  • Maximising involvement to maximise commitment.
  • Balancing empowerment with enabling.

Other important ideas discussed include: cultural appropriateness and functional inappropriateness; managing impulsivity; becoming methodical leaders and managers; what leadership and management attention often overlooks; keeping The Main Thing the main thing; where we most often fail to empower and enable others; where to focus change efforts.
