In an increasingly complex and unpredictable world attracting top talent, motivated to deliver outstanding results, is key to an organisation’s long-term success.
Achieving results at the expense of people is not sustainable. But neither is creating a culture that overemphasises getting along but doesn’t deliver results.
Effective leaders understand this. They create inspiring and attractive cultures and combine smart business acumen and decision making with integrity, respect, and empathy for others. With clarity and decency, they set both the direction and the tone in a way that brings out the best in people.
Though it may seem daunting, the mindset, skills and behaviours required to do this well can be learned and developed.
