We’ve all seen the negative consequences of poor leadership. We ourselves have probably been victims of bad leadership at one point or another. This is because for a lot of leaders in different organizations, it’s a toss-up between delivering results and managing people.
Leaders cannot sustain performance over the long term with this either/or approach. The conditions of the day, especially with the recent disruptions, require a both/and approach to management that places equal emphasis on results and the needs of people. That’s the success formula today’s top companies are using to thrive despite the disruptions, attract the best and brightest, and stay on top.
Leaders can unleash their power and the potential of everyone around them. For Dr. Ken Blanchard, bestselling author and leadership expert who has helped thousands of organizations become more people-oriented, customer-centered, performance-driven, and socially responsible, “When you lead at a higher level, people work together in a way that excites customers and gets results. Leadership is something you do with people—not to people,” Blanchard continues. “We hope to inspire leaders to go beyond short-term thinking and zero in on the right target. We want to teach leaders to empower people to unleash their incredible potential.”
