Leading Transformation Requires a Different Attitude!

Wednesday, October 21, 2009 by John Latham
Leaders who successfully transformed their organizations and achieved sustainable excellence have a different attitude. In fact, they differ in their attitudes and motivations from other effective leaders in seven ways: 

 

1. Transformational CEOs are less likely to think that having sole responsibility is important.

 

2. Transformational CEOs are more likely to want to evolve or change and drive continuous improvement.

 

3. Transformational CEOs concentrate on the past and use experience to make decisions. They also have a strong tendency to focus on the future and use lessons from the past to help develop sustainable business strategies for the future. 

 

4. Transformational CEOs are likely to be intolerant of the actions of others when they differ from their own or are not consistent across the workforce; that is, they are not very motivated to deal with people who have rules different than their own. 

 

5. Transformational CEOs are strongly motivated to work with systems and processes.

 

6. Transformational CEOs are strongly motivated to work with facts and knowledge (information).

 

7. Transformational CEOs are less motivated by a desire to be personally recognized for achievements.

 

Also, there are 17 additional factors that set effective leaders in general apart from the general employee population.
