As the head of a division or company, one of the most leveraged things you can do is to create a culture where everyone acts like a leader. A place where each associate generates the energy and direction needed to succeed in their own work. One where each leader puts the strategy first and the function second because they assume they will be treated fairly over time. If you are committed to creating such a culture, Mette is the right partner for you.Depending on the strategic priorities, you may want to start with the executive team, your high-potential leaders, or a number of informal leaders.
For the executive team, the challenge may be to:
- transform a fractured team into one where people stand shoulder-to-shoulder, moving in the same direction.
- keep the team strong by having “quarterly meets” to improve performance. After announcing what you have achieved, you get together to look at how you did it and how you can do better next quarter.
For high-potential leaders, the aim may be to lift their energy and help them become talent magnets.
For informal leaders, human resources may choose to create a cadre of internal change guides. This can be done by selecting highly-respected professionals from different functions and having them become a voice for change.
