The Leadership Contract: Session description
Recent studies show that only 7 percent of employees have trust and confidence in their senior leaders. How can organizations ever succeed if so few employees believe in their senior leaders? In his keynote, The Leadership Contract, Vince Molinaro ,Global Managing Director of the Leadership Practice within Knightsbridge Human Capital Solutions, explains why leadership, and specifically leadership culture, is the only real differentiator between the organizations that thrive and those that fall behind.
The stakes in leadership have always been high, but they are getting even higher. Leaders today must execute strategy, drive innovation, and build talent for the future. They are under more pressure and more scrutiny than ever before. Molinaro can discuss the four terms and conditions of the leadership contract:
Leadership is a decision - Leaders today need to make the conscious and deliberate decision to lead. Decision brings the expectation and personal commitment to be the best leader you can be to make your company successful.
Leadership is an obligation - Leaders must realize the second they become a leader they are held to a higher standard of behavior. Leaders have obligations to customers, employees, organizations, and the communities in which you do business. Leaders must step up to their accountabilities and live up to the obligations as a leader.
Leadership is hard work - Leaders must realize that leadership is hard, and it’s getting harder. Leaders must commit to tackling the hard work that they usually avoid - things that keep their company stuck. Leaders need resilient personal resolve to rise above the daily pressures. Leaders must get tough.
Leadership is a community - In today’s complex world, no one leader will have all the answers. The idea of the lone hero who can save us all was yesterday’s model of leadership. Today, we need to build a strong community of leaders. The leadership contract demands that leaders connect with other leaders to build a strong community of leaders in your organization. One where there is high clarify and commitment and a deep sense of trust and support. When you build a strong leadership culture, it will be your ultimate differentiator.
Designed for top-level executives, mid-level managers, front-line leaders, and emerging leaders, The Leadership Contract identifies the gap in leadership accountability and explains the mindset required for great leadership. Molinaro tackles this problem head on and explores why leaders must commit to do a lot better.
