Let's get a dose of reality. Corporate strategies, overarching principles, culture and corporate ethics are traditionally incubated at the senior level of management. In the new world of "we-centric leadership" leaders need to understand how to engage their employees so that leadership is not set at the top and implemented at the bottom. Instead, it becomes a more organic process that engages the workplace in being part of the head, the heart and the hands of leadship and business growth.
Engagement is vital, and every Manager/leader needs to learn how to make these vital shifts. Without this change in leadership practices, businesses will fail to produce against competitors.
Every business, organization and department has a culture. The culture and how leaders interpret it, drives how business gets done every day. Research suggests the Manager's capabilities, behaviors attitudes and skills - and how they interpret the cultural norms- will determine the success of productivity in each department. So, how do we know that the leader is "leading" or "pushing?"
"If leaders know the actions to take, leaders will take the action" is a truism, and especially brings value when you tie manager and department incentives with performance.
