What Today's Workplace Needs Its Leaders To Do

"Effective leaders are those whose group members feel their needs are getting satisfied and the leaders themselves feel they are getting their own needs met."

  12 Leadership Roles

Today’s organisation requires radically different leadership skills to survive in the rapidly changing global economy.  The rapidly changing marketplace, increased global competition, and leaner organisational structures require radically different skills and attributes from all individuals in the workplace.

Organizational leaders must make their organisations more flexible and responsive. To do so they must:

• Foster an environment which is conducive to learning and self renewal

• Create an appetite and agility for continuous change

• View every organisational member as a source of valuable ideas

• Share their expertise as well as their mistakes freely with others

• Demonstrate a high level of patience and tolerance for ambiguity

• Share power and decision-making with others throughout the organisation

• Demonstrate commitment to their own learning

• Have a strong sense of purpose for themselves and the organisation

• Be willing to share important organisational information at all levels

• Encourage relationships and the building of networks

• Demonstrate courage and inspire others through their own actions

• Respond to both spoken and unspoken needs of others in the organisation

• Have high personal and professional standards.
