Inspiring Commitment as Leaders
|
|
How do we address the personal, human side of business and leadership with our inherent management expectations of delivering results?
As managers and leaders, our jobs are multifaceted. We play different functions in our interactions with team members. These functions exist on a continuum, ranging from directing to connecting.
We direct our teams — providing feedback, vision and clear priorities. We share our perspective, our experiences and our reasoning's. We teach new skills and new ways of thinking. We coach team members as they practice new skills so they can move from basic to expert. We connect with our team members, generating trust and commitment.
Traditionally, our application of these functions has been lopsided, with most of our interactions on the directing side of the continuum and few on the connecting side. While command-and-control management can deliver results in the short term, it doesn’t last.
