Currently we must develop a new mental model around the global framework of business leadership, aimed at forging a continuous process of individual and collective transformation in all members of the organizations.
That is why there is an urgent need to train leaders capable of successfully facing the challenges of the globalization process, being essential that the managers of all public or private entities assume their role as transforming agents and that they do not allow themselves to be absorbed by the routine of administrative mechanics.
In our society and in multiple organizations we can identify certain predominant forms of leadership such as autocratic, paternalistic, manipulative, transactional and know-it-all, which continue to incapacitate the groups they claim to serve, in which all tend to seek control through concentration decision-making power in their own hands, in such a way that others serve their will.
Today more than in the past, all the institutions of our society require a new style of leadership, characterized by higher levels of emotional intelligence (control of emotions) and spiritual intelligence (virtues and transcendence), fully committed to moral values and principles., based on the independent investigation of the truth, guiding the exercise of its capacities towards the service of the common good.
The objective of this process is to transform the latent potentialities of the individual into a living reality in which the physical, intellectual and spiritual aspects of the human being can reach their highest and noble expression. Furthermore, the second aspect of this purpose has to do with a complex process of social transformation.
Consideremos que algunas de las principales actividades de un directivo se caracterizan por tomar decisiones en contextos complejos e impredecibles, asegurar que sean resultables y sostenibles, gestionar la innovación de productos, servicios y procesos, planificar, organizar, dirigir y evaluar proyectos estratégicos y operativos es decir aplicar las funciones del proceso gerencial, además de conseguir que las “cosas” ocurran cada día y particularmente, liderar equipos humanos.
In this sense, the exercise of true leadership must be distinguished by demonstrating every day the ability to channel people's efforts towards the achievement of specific goals, through the process of encouraging and helping others to work with enthusiasm and good will. to achieve goals. In addition, having the firm conviction that leadership is the human factor that helps a group to identify where it is going and to promote the well-being of its members to achieve the desired self-realization, through the excellent development of its valuable resources.
And with this base we must reflect a moral and transformative leadership based on values, oriented towards the service of the common good, whose main objective is individual and collective transformation, creating a space for the development of capacities that contribute to our personal transformation, to improve our interpersonal relationships and to contribute to the collective transformation of our society.
It is there that a personalized coaching with collaborators will teach to identify the strengths and weaknesses and how to overcome them, establishing priorities and strategies to meet the objectives set, selecting talents, training teams and guiding performance through visionary and innovative leadership.
The next approach is empowerment, a tool that replaces the old hierarchy with self-directed teams, where information is shared with everyone and employees of each organization have the opportunity and responsibility to give their best. It is a process that offers greater autonomy to employees, sharing relevant information with them and giving them control over the factors that influence their job performance.
Empowerment helps eliminate the conditions that cause a feeling of ineffectiveness and employees feel empowered to face various situations and trained to take control of the problems that arise and their efforts are more likely to yield the kind of performance that values the organization, thanks to greater participation, understanding this as the mental and emotional involvement of individuals in group situations that encourages them to contribute to the group's goals and to share responsibility for them.
In this sense, Moral Leadership, Coaching and Empowerment, are undoubtedly important strategies, but that by themselves will be unable to achieve a positive effect in an institution, since they consist of much more than the study of the information presented. It involves a great effort on the part of all the people who are part of each entity, which will translate into a new organizational culture. But it must be emphasized that it requires not only efforts and sacrifices, but also a better environment for its members, greater efficiency, quality and a better standard of living in all aspects for the organization.
In this article, we try to motivate the interest to investigate and deepen those current issues that promote genuine change management in those organizations and their leaders, who wish to commit themselves in a sustained way in the process of true transformation, through the application of a set of practical principles for teams committed to the creation of an intelligent organization, which builds a shared management philosophy at all levels and which maintains constant feedback with its collaborators and with its clients.
To promote this change, it is essential to develop effective knowledge management in each organization, through a formal process aimed at identifying, capturing, storing, maintaining, updating and transmitting the existing knowledge in the company in order to make it universal within the same organization..
In this sense, the current information and knowledge society offers us the benefits of the massive use of electronic media such as the e-learning system for example, for distance learning, which has led to the difficulties that have arisen of the borders of space and time, in such a way that all people can learn what they want, where they want and when they want, being possible that the topics discussed in this article are also available to anyone interested in them, just visit www.mbaconsultores.org
