Leadership is not an exclusive club for those who were ‘born to it’. The traits that are the raw materials of leadership can be acquired. According to Peter Drucker, leadership must be and can be learned and there are no universal ‘leadership styles’, ‘leadership traits’ or ‘leadership personalities’.
Why Leadership?
The president of Hyatt Hotels said ‘If there is one thing I have learned in my 27 years in the service industry, it is this; 99% of all employees want to do a good job. How they perform is simply a reflection of the one for whom they work’.
So the question is not ‘do you need leadership?’, the question is ‘what do you require your leaders to deliver in your business?’ As John Maxwell says ‘Everything rises and falls on leadership’.
It is critical to understand what is meant by leadership development. Every business is unique. Every leader is unique. Every leadership brand is unique. That is why at ValueU we recognise that every leadership solution needs to be unique.
Why Now?
We know there are many different triggers that spark the need for change! These can be:
- Increased competitive forces
- Technological change
- Declining markets
- Talent war
- Shareholder/market pressure to increase ROI
- Decreasing profitability
- Change at the top
- Aggressive growth strategy
- Diversification
- Globalisation
- Carbon footprint
- Enhancing employee engagement
Leadership is increasingly seen as THE difference that will make a difference in an organisation’s success, which is why there continues to be so much focus on it across all types of organisations.
