KEY THOUGHTS
Organisations where engagement with employees and other
stakeholders was the highest were not those led by charismatic and visionary
leaders. The leaders who achieved superior levels of engagement were often
quiet and unassuming. In his book Good to Great, Jim Collins makes much the
same observation, describing leaders who combine exceptional humility with the
will to succeed as attaining the highest level of leadership, which he calls
Level 5
Champion the concept of “fair process.” “Fair process is
based on the simple human need for intellectual and emotional recognition,” says
Kim. “There is a difference between a fair process and a fair outcome. If there
is fair process based on engagement, explanation and clarity then painful and
difficult goals can be achieved.”
Do you prepare for meetings to win your point of view or to
meaningfully discuss the issues at hand? When the argument does not go your
way, do you lose face or emerge as enriched because you have learned how to
better deal with the issue the next time? Do you push your point of view or try
to understand the mindset of the others and where they are coming from? Do you
make clear propositions or ask more penetrating questions? How do others really
see you, as a fearsome advocate or as someone open to alternative viewpoints?
