It’s no secret that leadership capacity is critical to organizational success, but little research has been compiled about the long-term impact of leadership on organizational productivity and profitability. In response, The Ken Blanchard Companies embarked on a study to answer some important questions about leadership and its role in supporting the overall success of an organization.
Key Takeaways:
- There is now an emphasis on emotional intelligence over smarts, attitude over skills, trust over tactics, collaboration over dictatorship and transparency over obscurity.
- In 2014, Microsoft announced big news – it wouldn’t be focusing on profits, but leadership. Fast forward to 2016 and Microsoft hit a major milestone – $1 trillion in all-time cumulative revenue.
- Great leaders move people through passion and inspiration. They are effective in “how” they execute on strategy and drive people in a positive direction, this applies to business people everywhere from a CEO of an international company to a sole trader.
