Leadership means constant movement – interacting, communicating, optimizing processes and developing talent. This movement’s very vivacity determines the leadership dynamics of an individual executive.
And that’s why it’s been in the focus of LAUDA for so many years. This very drive governs the performance dynamics and positivity around a leader and therefore his/her effectiveness. And it’s an entire leadership circle’s willingness to reflect on its dynamics of interaction that will determine how far it can advance the business together.
The Dynamics of Individual Leaders
Amid the intensity and speed of today’s corporate life – both intriguing and at times taxing – leaders clearly require high yet sustainable levels of professional-personal dynamics. The vitality in their interaction and communication strongly affects the momentum governing everyone’s work in their environment. And that momentum, in the end, impacts business results.
How to attain and healthily sustain more elevated levels of personal energy that don’t invite burnout is key for today’s leadership careers. So is knowing how to share, spread and trickle down the most positive performance dynamics.
3 decisive pillars govern executives’ personal leadership dynamics:
- Mental vigor
- Emotional positivity and resilience
- Physical stamina (yes, the body counts!)
How well these three INTERFACE decides on what a leader can:
- emit or ‘radiate’ out. And how positively and effectively that impacts others. That in turn determines the relationship excellence of executives. That’s the quality & breadth an individual has in the relating game – so essential in business.
- Core to all of the above is the genuineness with which an executive acts and behaves. Agreeable authenticity is key. Its development matters as we’re ever confronted with new situations throughout our leadership careers.
Interaction Dynamics within Top Teams
Today’s organizations hire top executives with enormous talent and proven performance records. Yet at the end of the day it is the chemistry among all board members that decides how capably their assets/skills come together for the greatest benefit of the organization.
A visibly attuned top management largely moving along side-by-side impacts motivation, productivity and loyalty among all associates. A competitive 21st century leadership team has to find ways to:
- To generate highly productive synergetic thinking and interaction between its leaders
- For positive conflict dynamics and establishing a discussion culture that makes best use of multiple, smart and valid viewpoints.
- Optimally bring together the precious talents of its individual executives.
