The Common Language of Leadership
/What is your leadership language like?
Do your people really understand you? Understand where you want to go and how you will get there with their help?
Do you really have alignment to your goals/ambitions? How would you know?
Recently I have been assisting a client with their growth ambitions.
We teased out what these were in a strategy session with the leadership team. We articulated the gaps to achieve the said ambitions of the owner.
Now how are we going to work on the gaps. 3 projects were identified.
One of those being a growth culture.
Starts with alignment.
We have been working on 3 guiding principles for the business and the appropriate above and below the line behaviours. When each one was created by the leadership team they then needed to engage their various team members to get their buy in - this has gone very well.
The leadership team thought this was all done - no no no. This is a continual engagement I explained. How are you going to weave this into everyday communication within your team? How is this going to become part of your company language?
