Leadership in the New Reality
Leadership in The New Reality means contributing in a fundamentally different way. As a corporate leader, you are expected to master change and, at the same time, to coach your direct reports to adapt to change more quickly, easily, and effectively so that the organization can better align with the marketplace. Your success in these endeavors can have a profound impact on the performance of your work group, and of your organization as a whole.
Leadership in the New Reality is designed especially for masters of The New Reality®: those of you who have already made significant strides toward strengthening the frequency and impact of your Design behaviors, and eliminating your Default and Defiant behaviors. This program provides tools for the necessary next step — coaching and holding your people accountable to exhibit more Design behavior, and less Default and Defiant behaviors. Learn to hold them accountable for a higher-level performance just as you have made yourself accountable for making a valuable contribution each day.
Leadership in the New Reality is for any master of The New Reality® who is still seeing whining, finger pointing, blame shifting, excuse making, "not my job" behaviors within your work group. It is for those of you whose work group's motto is: "stay in your office and wear beige." It is for those of you who see people exhibiting Design behaviors getting pelted by stones and called names. It is for those of you who are ready to clarify expectations, equip your people to meet those expectations, and then hold them accountable to meet those expectations.
As masters of The New Reality®, you know that venturing into this territory means no turning back. It means that you:
- ACCEPT accountability for the performance of your group
- ANTICIPATE that your ideas and decisions will be challenged
- EXPECT to be approached with alternate suggestions and new ideas for working differently, not harder
- ADMIT that you won't always have the answers
- DEMAND a higher standard of performance from your team
Learn to Effectively Handle Design, Default, and Defiant Behaviors in the Workplace:
- Differentiate and define Design, Default, and Defiant behaviors so that everyone's clear
- Communicate clear expectations of accountability
- Communicate clear expectations about appropriate behaviors
- Encourage, elicit, and reward Design behavior
- Identify, discourage, and consequence Default behavior
- Freeze out Defiant behavior
- Facilitate a shorter, flatter "Depth and Duration" Productivity Trough
