While some people seem born to lead, for the average business executive, leadership is a set of skills that have been imperfectly developed over the course of a typically successful career.
The negative impact of marginal leadership is high. In his book “The 8th Habit”, leadership expert Stephen Covey reported these and other telling leadership results:
- Less than half clearly understood what their organization was trying to achieve and why
- Only 1 in 5 were enthusiastic about their team’s and organization’s goals
- Only 1 in 5 saw a “line of sight” between their tasks and their team’s or organization’s goals
- Less than 1 in 5 felt they worked in a high trust environment
- Only 1 in 10 felt their organization held people accountable for results
While these results are reflective of a critical “leadership gap”, it also means that investing in your leaders can have an immediate and profound impact.
