Leadership Style Matters
Transactional style leaders are waning, and Developmental style leaders will be the leaders of tomorrow
A transactional leader's playbook is primarily focused on control, which is grounded in Industrial Age thinking. Their focus is on planning, compliance, efficiency, performance management, and results-driven objectives. The drive results through their people, and they don’t care about learning. Learning is not an efficient activity for control focused leaders; they want results yesterday.
Unfortunately for them, complexity and change in our world are disrupting their ability to control outcomes. A new kind of leader is emerging, a developmental style leader. They focus on learning within complex systems; they roll up their sleeves and lead from where the work happens, not from the top of the organizational hierarchy. They are teachers and mentors who create a culture that is a safe place to learn from failures. Leveraging the collective knowledge of their organizations, they can overcome the complexity and change in our world without compromising an effective work-life balance for their people.
More than half of people today are experiencing burnout because of how leaders lead today. Join me in advocating for a new generation of business leaders in boardrooms and corporations who better balance the needs of all stakeholders, rather than focusing solely on shareholder value. Life is too short, and we all know money doesn't make us happier once we have enough to get by. So be the leader your company needs and the one everybody wants to work for. Flow Accel can help you achieve that outcome. Contact us today to see if we can help you in your work-life journey.
