LEADERSHIP STRATEGY: AVOID BUILDING ON A SHAKEY FOUNDATION OF OUTDATED ATTITUDES AND HABITS

your organization may be haunted by industrial age ghosts

Innovative technologies and new management processes come and go, but the principles of effective leadership have remained constant throughout the ages. That’s because they are founded on timeless truths regarding what goes on within and between people. Management science however continues to deliver a never ending stream of time saving and quality producing technology and work processes.  Implementing these new technologies and innovative ways of organizing people for work is next to impossible for many companies.

Most of us either grew up in the industrial age or have been influenced by people who did. Every organization and most people remain vulnerable to outdated industrial-age patterns. When the foundation of a person’s habits or an organization’s culture is built on outdated assumptions, failure is assured—regardless of what is being implemented.

Industrial age remnants:

1. from exclusive ownership to strategic alliances
2. from loyalty for security to partnering for profit
3. from management by personal authority to process-discipline
4. from full-time employment to transient teaming
5. from chain of command to aligning then serving a chain of partners
6. from a knowing mindset, to a not knowing attitude; adopting the use of ps to find out and take action dfaster than the competition
7. from knowledge and experience to processes for finding out and taking action faster than the competition
8. from competitive analysis to pattern recognition
9. fromfocusing on doing things right to doing the right things
10. from long range planning to the development of alternate scenarios
