Believes in a balanced approach to leading people – Clear-Structured-Disciplined : Fair-Nurturing-Caring
No-one can do a good job unless they know what the end objective should be. In today’s fast moving, chaotic world, that can be hard – but the ultimate goals can always be made clear and worked towards.
We believe that people work best when they are given some responsibility and autonomy – but this has to occur in a structured, coherent and aligned way – not an anarchic one.
People need to have the freedom to try new processes and approaches if they see the need; but there has to be boundaries to this, and self-control to keep the structure functioning.
Humans from the earliest age understand the concept of ‘fairness’ – and nothing undermines motivation as quickly as unfairness, so a leader must focus on consistency and fairness.
Sustainable high performance comes from a continued focus on learning – and it is the leader’s duty to nurture all those in their teams to ensure they continue to learn and grow.
We all seek to belong to the groups we are involved with – those intangibles of trust, engagement, loyalty and motivation will come more readily from those who feel they are respected and treated as individuals. People will care for their work, if they are cared for themselves.
