title="Pic Puzzle"
src="http://dalemyers.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/pic-puzzle1.jpg?w=210&h=210"
alt="" border="0"></a>There’s
no shortage of books,
articles, blogs and
journals focusing on
the topic of
leadership.
Specifically, many
write about the key
behaviors, actions and
experiences that are
needed to achieve
leadership success. We
look for the common
threads that can be
weaved together to
build a picture of
what great leaders do.
The thinking is that
armed with this
knowledge, others can
learn to transform
themselves into
successful leaders.</p>
<p style="font-size:
14px; line-height:
1.4em; color: #444444;
font-family:
"Helvetica
Neue", Helvetica,
Arial, sans-serif;
margin: 0 0 1em 0;">I
spend a lot of time
thinking about
leadership. Like most
people, my thoughts
focus on the great
leaders that I have
known. I think about
what they do that
makes them successful.
Then I try to piece
together a leadership
puzzle with a
collection of actions
that can be
replicated.</p>
<p style="font-size:
14px; line-height:
1.4em; color: #444444;
font-family:
"Helvetica
Neue", Helvetica,
Arial, sans-serif;
margin: 0 0 1em 0;">Over
time, I’ve come to
realize that most
leaders are not easily
definable. Often their
strengths are unique
qualities that are not
shared across the
broad spectrum of
leaders. What makes
them so successful is
that they don’t fit
into a standard puzzle
– rather they look to
form new shapes, to
define fresh
boundaries, and to
embrace solutions not
seen by others.</p>
<p style="font-size:
14px; line-height:
1.4em; color: #444444;
font-family:
"Helvetica
Neue", Helvetica,
Arial, sans-serif;
margin: 0 0 1em 0;">Of
course, this has not
stopped me from trying
to create my own
leadership puzzle.
There are some
similarities I have
seen in successful
leaders that are clear
enough to share with
you. Based on my
experiences – some
pieces of the puzzle
include:</p>
<p style="font-size:
14px; line-height:
1.4em; color: #444444;
font-family:
"Helvetica
Neue", Helvetica,
Arial, sans-serif;
margin: 0 0 1em 0;"><strong>Creating
and communicating a
simple vision.</strong>
Leaders understand the
value in providing a
vision that people can
rally around. Creating
a “north star” that
can be used to guide
efforts is critical.
They key is to make
the vision simple,
interesting and
obtainable.</p>
<p style="font-size:
14px; line-height:
1.4em; color: #444444;
font-family:
"Helvetica
Neue", Helvetica,
Arial, sans-serif;
margin: 0 0 1em 0;"><strong>Defining
a common enemy.</strong>
Having a common
opponent that creates
an “us against them
mentality” can be
inspiring. Steve Jobs
used this tactic and
created a “geeks” vs.
the establishment
mindset that later was
supplanted with an
Apple vs. Microsoft
rivalry. Often you
hear sports coaches
talk about how no one
“outside the locker
room” believes in
their team - creating
an us against them
mentality. Having a
defined enemy can
force teams to grow
together. It creates a
common bond; something
that says we are in
this battle together.</p>
<p style="font-size:
14px; line-height:
1.4em; color: #444444;
font-family:
"Helvetica
Neue", Helvetica,
Arial, sans-serif;
margin: 0 0 1em 0;"><strong>Setting
priorities.</strong>
Organizations are made
up of many rapidly
moving parts where new
ideas and
opportunities abound.
The reality is that
most organizations can
only work on a handful
of opportunities in
any given period.
Great leaders
understand they need
to focus all their
efforts on a limited
number of key
initiatives that
clearly support the
objectives and vision
of the organization.</p>
<p style="font-size:
14px; line-height:
1.4em; color: #444444;
font-family:
"Helvetica
Neue", Helvetica,
Arial, sans-serif;
margin: 0 0 1em 0;"><strong>Quickly
correcting hiring
mistakes</strong>.
All of us have made
hiring mistakes.
Bringing someone new
into an organization
is often a crap shoot.
Despite best efforts,
sometimes you get it
wrong – this is no
sin. The key is to
retain the best and
move quickly to
correct hiring
mistakes. Great
leaders don’t allow
their hiring egos to
stop them from moving
on when a mistake is
made.</p>
<p style="font-size:
14px; line-height:
1.4em; color: #444444;
font-family:
"Helvetica
Neue", Helvetica,
Arial, sans-serif;
margin: 0 0 1em 0;"><strong>Allocating
organizational
assets</strong>.
Much of what leaders
do is figure out where
to invest and how to
use available
resources. The best
identify
organizational
objectives and work to
fund the initiatives
which best serve the
long-term goals.</p>
<p style="font-size:
14px; line-height:
1.4em; color: #444444;
font-family:
"Helvetica
Neue", Helvetica,
Arial, sans-serif;
margin: 0 0 1em 0;"><strong>Motivating
people.</strong>
Finally, the best know
the key actions that
motivate people and
organizations. To do
this they “know their
people”, and they
understand what
actually motivates
them. Generic
motivational tools
(like financial bonus
programs), often fail
to drive people to
reach high levels of
performance long-term.
Leaders know that
people are unique, so
they use a variety of
motivational tools
that meet the diverse
needs of the
individuals in an
organization.</p>
<p style="font-size:
14px; line-height:
1.4em; color: #444444;
font-family:
"Helvetica
Neue", Helvetica,
Arial, sans-serif;
margin: 0 0 1em 0;">Of
course there are many
other things to write
about that great
leaders do. We could
talk about emotional
intelligence, business
knowledge, focus,
personal strength,
risk tolerances –
these are all keys for
great leaders. But,
ultimately these are
unique qualities that
are hard to define,
measure, replicate and
even understand.</p>
<p style="font-size:
14px; line-height:
1.4em; color: #444444;
font-family:
"Helvetica
Neue", Helvetica,
Arial, sans-serif;
margin: 0 0 1em 0;">Creating
my Leadership Puzzle
is still a work in
progress. I continue
to meet new and
interesting leader’s
everyday. The truly
great ones seem to do
one final thing – they
<strong>consistently
deliver positive
results.</strong></p>
<p style="font-size:
14px; line-height:
1.4em; color: #444444;
font-family:
"Helvetica
Neue", Helvetica,
Arial, sans-serif;
margin: 0 0 1em 0;">What
do you think? What are
the key traits you see
in great leaders? What
does your leadership
puzzle look like?</p>
