Transforming Leader
The Transforming Leader of today is one who excites and inspires peak performance by getting their team to perform far beyond their own expectations. These leaders practice certain behaviors that cause their organization to feel stronger and happier. The team is also more confident and committed in the workplace.
The first of these behaviors is the delegation of high levels of responsibility for results in our company. Today’s business leaders pick the right people, match them to the right jobs, achieve mutual clarity on the desired results and then they get out of the way and leave the individual with maximum freedom to perform.
The great Chinese philosopher, Lao-Tse, wrote, “A leader is best when people barely know he exists… when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say, We did this ourselves.”
Thousands of people were asked in a recent study to describe their best bosses. Over and over again, the respondents said things like, “He left me alone and gave me complete freedom to do the job.” “In fact, I hardly saw him”
There is something liberating and empowering to know you have been entrusted with a major responsibility and then been given the freedom to fulfill it. When the right person has been matched with the right job, the conditions for exceptional performance have just been created.
Another behavior of transforming leaders is their confident attitude of positive expectations. They radiate a belief in themselves and in the ability of their subordinates to succeed. They know the leader sets the psychological tone for the whole organization, so they consciously project a positive attitude no matter how distressing the external situation may appear. They are in complete control of themselves and their emotions.
Express complete confidence in your team’s ability to do an excellent job. Radiate an attitude of confident expectations. This is the role of leadership.
For the next ninety day’s delegate complete responsibility for results of your company to your subordinates. Discuss and agree on exactly what needs to be done, when they are be done and to what standard. Then, get out of the way and let them perform. You will be amazed at the results!
