During this year, we have been talking about the need to ensure the results of your business through proper management of your leadership.
People constantly approach me to tell me how they can get to have the type of leaders that we have been recommending and my answer is always the same. To have good leaders, in the first place you have to ensure that your Selection process is precisely what you are looking for, that is, there are those who select personnel thinking exclusively about covering the technical skills of the position and forget to check if the people who are submitted to their selection process have their leadership skills, abilities and skills. In this sense, it is important to know the profile of the leaders of High Performance companies. The Level 5 Leaders.
What Are Level 5 Leaders?
Below I will try to describe the leadership levels so that you can identify the type of leaders you have in your company:
- Level 1. That capable individual, who contributes with his talent, knowledge, abilities and good habits at work. Level 2. He is also a team worker, contributes with his individual abilities to the fulfillment of group objectives and works effectively with others in a group setting. Level 3. Is a competent administrator. He knows how to organize people and resources to efficiently achieve pre-established objectives. Level 4. Goes one step further and becomes an effective leader that catalyzes commitment and a vigorous search towards a clear and convincing vision, achieving much higher results. Level 5. This type of leader seeks only sustainable results. The difference between this type of leader and others is that they are motivated to produce sustainable results in the organization.The idea is that these leaders can generate a change in the organization in the long term and sustainable.
Furthermore, these leaders are more interested in the success of the organization than in their personal achievements. They want to leave their legacy in an organization that continues to grow.
They have enough confidence in themselves to hire people and put them on the boat. They are humble and act determined, relying on inspirational standards rather than inspiring charisma to motivate.
They take responsibility when things go wrong, they don't blame when things don't work out as expected, and they rarely seek recognition.
But their characteristic is that they have an organizational focus. His highest ambition is that the company is at the top of its results, his desire for a successful organization, outweighs his search for personal rewards. They are constant in their training and are willing to change when required.
“No person or company reaches the top without preparation. Determination is required, be willing to change and above all to exercise Superior Leadership in front of their collaborators ”.
“If you want to gain greater market share, prepare your people to perform at the highest level.
That is why today companies must prepare their people in the development of their leadership skills.
Today more than ever, you must focus on your people, but it is only through a display of leadership that people will gain the confidence to perform at the highest level of performance.
My intention in this article is, in addition to making my comments in order to convey experience, to generate concern in readers about this need to build organizations through leadership that not only seek the media effect of the results trying to "save their skin" of those who run them, but rather direct their best intentions in developing businesses that last and truly leave a legacy of development for those who contribute to them.
The quality of the Service, the deployment of human potential, the value perceived by customers and the market, and in itself, the final result of any organization, is impregnated with the work of great leaders.
Do not let your training programs include merely what corresponds to improving the technical capacity of people, include without fear that which has to do with the development of people in the long term.
Today we see high rates of turnover and absenteeism in many companies, today we see a high incidence of internal conflicts and the time has come to make a difference. Your leadership can do it for you, just get ready to take this wonderful journey, which is not free of conflicts and pitfalls, but which will undoubtedly give you the best learning of your life.
Make, through your Leadership Management, a business model that transcends. That will be your legacy.
