Enterprise leader insights
Enterprise Leader Insights You Can Use
To succeed as a leader in today’s work environment and effectively drive business outcomes, you cannot simply focus on your individual objectives as well as those of your team and your business unit. You must also focus on enterprise outcomes — and be an enterprise leader.
Shift leader mindsets
Enterprise leaders must manage with less autonomy and control than in the past. This involves not just building capabilities but an adaptive mindset that enables them to apply competencies in changing situations.
Develop enterprise leaders
Instead of simply preparing leaders to succeed in known situations, create opportunities to practice adapting to new and unfamiliar situations. Activate relationships beyond the manager to support the leader's success on the job.
Redesign performance evaluations to reduce rewards risk
Nearly all organizations have incorporated enterprise leadership criteria into leader evaluations, but only 17% of enterprise leaders received top ratings in their last performance review. To ensure your leaders are accurately and visibly rewarded for enterprise leadership, evaluate their outcomes, not just their behaviors.
