Effective leaders know that they can’t really make anyone do anything. Fortunately in America, we always have the option of saying no. Since we do have that option, the key to effective leadership is making people want to do what we need done instead of trying to force them to do it. Threats, intimidation, and manipulation do get results but never produce the productivity as do a group of people that want to do what they are doing.

So the question is, how do we make them want to do it? Easy:

Focus those you lead on the mission and the positive results of performing that mission
Create a work environment where they can be personally and professionally successful
Connect the mission success and goals with their own personal goals
We like to know why we are doing what we are being asked to do. “Who does it benefit? Is it productive? Is it something that should be done? What’s in it for me?” We ask ourselves questions like these all the time. Sometimes the answers are obvious and easy and sometimes not. The answers for these questions are not the same for everyone. For a leader to be effective he or she must be able to provide positive answers to each individual’s questions the way they need to hear them to understand the significance of the work they do. When the leader communicates in a manner that makes each person they lead focus on the mission and understand how the organization’s success is the road to their success, it becomes easy for people to focus on the mission.

Abram Maslow found that we all have five levels of needs as human beings. The third level is Love/Belongingness. We all share a need to feel like we belong, fit in, are welcome and appreciated. Effective work environments are comfortable for everyone. The work environment is stable (people know what to expect and deliver every day), professional, (everyone treats everyone else with dignity, respect, and friendliness all the time), positive (results focused, fact based, mission oriented, no negative emotions) and open (communication is open and multidirectional not one way from top down). This type of environment provides a feeling of security to people allowing them to learn and grow. This type of environment never happens by itself. It takes a highly skilled leader to create it.

All of us ask ourselves the question, “what’s in it for me?” before we do anything. When the answer we give ourselves is satisfactory, we take action, when it is not, we do only what we feel we MUST. All of us have personal goals, things we want. Consequently, when we feel what we are doing is going to get us what we want, it has a tendency to motivate us and enhance our performance. Effective leaders take the time to learn about those that they lead, what they like, what they want, what’s important to them. Once the leader knows a person’s goals they show them how helping the organization (and their team) achieve its goals also leads to accomplishment of the individual’s goals.

All it takes to accomplish these three areas is the knowledge, skills, and a desire to do so. With the desire you can acquire the knowledge and skills.

Leadership is the art of mobilizing others toward shared aspirations. In a business enterprise, leaders must take care of employees who, in turn, are responsible for taking care of customers, stakeholders, and related outside parties, such as the government and the community, in an ethical manner. This approach also considers implications for the environment and results in profitable growth combined with an increase in the welfare of all parties involved.

Great leaders are visionaries whose intuition helps them to recognize and capitalize on business opportunities in a timely manner. Their success is based on surrounding themselves with “like-minded” professionals who complement them to help reinforce their strengths and eliminate their weaknesses. They build teams consisting of individuals who complement one another in a way that ensures consistent performance in line with corporate goals. The mantra embodied herein is “Build grand castles in the air while ensuring that they rest on solid foundations.” This is in direct contrast to mediocre leaders who surround themselves with yes-people who, by their very nature, are unable to contribute positively to the bottom line!

The wisdom of effective leaders enables them to appreciate the views of their inner circle and others. In situations where consensus cannot be reached, they have an uncanny ability to cut to the chase and make informed decisions. They foster an environment that encourages the sharing of ideas through brainstorming while realizing that innovation need not be preceded by the existence of committees.

True leaders place a great deal of emphasis on culture and shared values. They realize that business involves human beings and that profitable growth results from fruitful relationships. They normally possess both formal and informal power. Formal power is entrusted to them by virtue of their position in the company. Informal power results from their core belief system. They lead by example, thus earning the respect and admiration of their peers and subordinates. As a result, employees are enthusiastic about going beyond the call of duty for “their” leaders.

Great leaders build organizations that are vibrant and performance driven. They structure employee compensation packages in a way that promotes and reinforces the right behaviors and rewards people on the basis of individual as well as team performance. They believe that a base salary pays the bills, whereas variable compensation, including earnings before interest, taxes, dividends and amortization (EBITDA)-based bonuses, motivates employees to challenge themselves and increase their contribution to the firm on a consistent basis. These leaders find reasons to pay bonuses as opposed to those leaders who find reasons to deprive employees of bonuses they truly deserve! They realize that there is enough in this world for everyone’s need, though not for everyone’s greed, as mentioned by the late Mahatma Gandhi.

Leadership traits can create a virtuous cycle for the firm’s management, employees, clients, stakeholders, and others. Great leaders have a natural flair. There are those who believe that their effectiveness can be increased through education, other methods of training and development, and experience, though to a limited extent.

Ethical leadership calls for morals, fairness, caring, sharing, no false promises or unreasonable demands on others, etc. Is “ethical leadership” an oxymoron?

I have a policy of distributing free abridged versions of my books on leadership, ethics, teamwork, motivation, women, bullying and sexual harassment, trade unions, business law, etc., to anyone who sends a request to crespin79@hotmail.com.
