In today’s world the challenge is greaterthan it has ever been. The difficulties businesses face are greater than ever with the competitive environment commanding the need for greater efficiency, performance and differentiation.
Added to the fact that the economic environment is perhaps the most difficult it has been for over half a century, we can begin to understand the challenge that leaders face in motivating staff and maintaining energy whilst also retaining a focus on the need for change and improvement.
In times of change, processes and project plans are only as good as the people driving them. It is their behaviour that will ultimately deliver the results. Individual mindset and engagement are vital drivers of sustaining the momentum of new behaviours to drive performance.
It is more important than ever for leaders to influence people positively whilst maintaining the vital authenticity needed for people to truly believe in them.
