The function of leadership is to produce more leaders, not more followers.
Ralph Nader
Study after study has shown that the biggest determinant of success or failure of an organization lies in the skills and abilities of its Supervisors, managers and department heads to build cohesive and high performing teams. Poorly managed teams can lead to massive losses both monetarily and culturally. The cost of poor management is one that is not easily quantified but can easily amount to millions of dollars in losses for larger organizations.
Building employee engagement and providing an environment that encourages people to perform at their best without prodding or inducement is key to sustainable growth and prosperity for any organization.
There is a myth in the corporate world that leadership is reserved for CEOs and Presidents. Nothing could be further from the truth. Leadership can be found and fostered in any department and in any position. We at Cura refer to this as personal leadership. If an organization can increase its “personal leadership quotient” by increasing the personal leadership capabilities of its employees, regardless of their position and authority, the company stands to make exponential gains both financially and culturally.
In today’s business environment it has become essential to develop the leadership capabilities of everybody in the organization, from the CEO to the Receptionist. The way to do that is through creating a culture of leadership and that is done through front line Supervisors, Managers and department heads. It’s not enough to have the CEO espouse the virtue and necessity of the company vision and mission; it must be woven into the fabric of the organization and demonstrated day in and day out by the people who the organization has entrusted to directly manage their greatest potential asset, their employees.
Any disconnect between the communication from the top level and the implementation on the ground level will be detrimental, if not fatal for the success of the overall strategy.
