How to motivate employees to execute seamlessly and implement change fast and at low cost?
BLUE OCEAN LEADERSHIP
To unleash employees’ untapped talent and energy, leaders need a strong repertoire of actions, not just better awareness and empathy.
Most leadership programs are generally designed to hone the cognitive and behavioral skills of leaders with the implicit assumption that this would ultimately translate into high performance. Leaders are accordingly called on to develop traits like self-awareness, self-regulation, and empathy, for example, all of which require deep self- reflection and introspection to assimilate into a person’s being.
Blue Ocean Leadership approach confers that capacity by enabling organizational leaders look at leadership as a service that people in their organization “buy” or “don’t buy.” Every leader in that sense has customers: the bosses to whom the leader must deliver performance, and the followers who need the leader’s guidance and support to achieve what is expected of them. When people value their leader’s practices, they in effect buy into such leadership. They’re inspired to excel and act with commitment.
