Executive leaders operate at the crossroads of many pressures. They’re human, which means another reality emerges at leadership’s crossroads: fumbles. So how should a leader lead in light of the inevitability of a fumble or mistake? How should they lead when it occurs?
For business leaders, conflict can be a four-letter word. Gossip at the water cooler, passive-aggressive comments flung back and forth at meetings, and grade-school like factions between teams plague many office settings. Although conflict may seem to entice and encourage these destructive dilemmas, conflict doesn’t have to be the enemy of a company’s work culture and productivity.
Of all the abilities an executive leader must possess, delegation may be the most crucial. Delegation is intrinsically connected to every aspect of executive leadership.
At PROMARK, we understand the pressure of choosing a coach and want to help you make the best coaching decision for yourself or a team member. But maybe you’re still asking, “Why would someone pursue coaching?”
Not only does a healthy, engaged team have a direct correlation to a strong bottom line, but if a leader’s team begins to fray, splinter, and atrophy–initiating and perpetuating a revolving door of transition–the corporate and personal costs to the organization, the leader, and their team members can be exorbitant.
Inspiring leadership takes intentionality every day to adopt, contextualize, and translate these practices into your leadership habits. And while three- or four-day conferences play a genuine role in a leader’s growth, they’re no replacement for a leader’s pursuing intentionality today so they can be effective tomorrow.
The simplest definition is an employer whose employees love to come to work and job seekers would love to work for. Employers of choice cultivate work cultures where engagement and alignment are the anticipated outcomes of intentionality, transparency, compensation, and inspiration.
In the past 20 years alone, leaders have had to navigate drastic changes and the subsequent amount of resources just to keep up. Thankfully, that’s how long Promark’s been evaluating the leadership landscape and equipping executive leaders to lead themselves and others effectively.
At PROMARK, our coaches have seen the professional and personal turmoil burnout causes in clients’ lives. This is happening in the American workforce today and it’s costing nearly $190 billion dollars in work-related costs.
