Culture and Leadership Fundamentals...past/present/future Successes pt5
Productivity gains as the Force of Technology (specifically AI) amplifies, will be even more of a KEY SKILL Leaders will have to incorporate in their "quiver of arrows", "tools in their toolbox", "paints on their palette". To keep up with the continual "Race to the Bottom", or a "Rising Tide" of quality of services and products to the hyper competitive markets.
If you think your market and industry is competitive now, wait until 5 years or sooner!
We would suggest dig your well before your thirsty.
To ensure your productivity levels to be utilising the "Kaizen" principle (continuous incremental positive improvement), your culture and leadership tenets, qualities will have to be on point. Otherwise, you will be simply left behind. See parts 1,2,3,4 for developing, improving and growing (DIG) your knowledge banking and successful applications.
At STAR, we like to walk around an organisation to see the "Culture" at work, and of course when introduced to employee's we ask general and specific questions, whilst the Owner or CEO is there with us!....Giving us a glimpse of the openness and acceptance of the ideas and insights available.
A funny story, we were walking through one of the largest printing companies for the state with the owner. And one of the senior printers spoke up, then and there, in front of the CEO/Owner (obviously he had been biting his tongue awhile). And gave us 3 key ideas which would improve productivity both in the short and long term (fortunately I knew some aspects of printing, as my brother was a apprentice printer).
All he needed was a "Gateway" for free expression, which we gave him the opportunity! The Owner, Bob (not his real name), looked at me, as in disbelief.....WHY hadn't he said anything before!...We went back to his office, and I explained to him ( I did 5 years of Executive Coaching before Business Coaching to Consulting) people need a space or a situation where it was less confrontational "IF" a particular Leadership style was being used.
See here for simplified different leadership style's and when best applied.
I quickly instigated a "Leadership and Culture" program and course for his organisation, as his organisation was barely tapping into its potential of Gold and future gains!
