Good leadership: the devil is in the details

But the devil is in the details: too often, only a formal double top or management round is installed, in which the present managers represent their departments and jealously ensure that every cobblers stays with his trunks. That must also be different.

Necessary for optimal Guide is a team made up of managers who consciously use their differences and want to overcome the boundaries between departments.

Denn Executiveswho have decided to form a management team are not only more successful, but also more relaxed, less burdened in many respects and personally happier than those groups of managers who only see themselves as a “management group”.

Leadership teams stay on the bridge and lead from the front. On the corporate bridge, ie at the interface of Organization to the outside world, they are responsible for importing the complex and "outside" context information.

You take care of them Company with new, Strategy, vision, market assessment and foresight, while the old-school management technicians instead continue to sit in the engine room and try to optimize the known.

Management teams develop their role only if they consistently adopt management tasks and instead place the task of leadership at the center of their activities. Clear roles are the necessary condition to be effective, because an effective team development process can emerge only on the basis of awareness for the distinction between role and person and the clear view of when an authentic management style becomes unprofessional.

2. flexible planning instead of planning

We all know that grass doesn't grow faster when you pull on it. Nonetheless, the typical reaction of business leaders after being caught "unaware" by an unexpected event is increased planning activism (more plans, more detailed plans, long-term plans) to better manage the previously uncertain elements check. Pure planned economy!

Plans take on a new function in the management team: they are not drawn up in order to implement them slavishly, but rather so that they can be discussed, a position taken on them and Alternatives and develop scenarios. They serve the debate and Things to Learn to organize instead of just stubbornly wanting to determine what needs to happen! Here it is good if you are not alone, but can use the power of a real leadership team and do not waste time on pseudo-cooperation.

Discounts for your success (advertising)!

Increasingly, companies install management teams at their top. Often one of them is that Redethat these teams should be a club of “equals”, ie without differences in power and influence, in order to successfully to be. Practice shows exactly the opposite:

Many teams at the top are characterized by pseudo-cooperation, ie the depiction of cooperation instead of the actual joint work. Effective leadership teams are aware of their differences and capitalize on them. In order for this to succeed, they face their five typical demons that make working in the leadership team difficult: lonliness, distrust, striving for harmony, loss of the laurel wreath or receiving the wreath of thorns and egoism.

4. Power and influence rather than authority and alphatier games

If leaders want to be a leader, it is quite normal to see friction in the course of the process. By entering into a joint management, each executive gives up a part of their autonomy, worries about their interests and fears loss of power and influence. The relaxed handling of power and authority is indispensable for an effective leadership team.

The higher quality of management teams compared to individuals is particularly evident when the managers regularly go through joint reflection loops and thus dysfunctional authority behavior and the dark side of power in their Behavior learn to steer effectively. It is therefore important not to play games with the differences in power and influence in the team, but to agree on a binding approach. "Delicate things" will then finally be discussed in a joint dialogue instead of in bilateral background talks.

The classic Pattern of the airs and graces that always occurs when executives concentrate primarily on how they personally "appear", they counter them with modern, dialogue-oriented communication formats such as scenarioTechnology, Sounding Board, World Café and Open Space.

Ten proven communication laws protect the leadership team from beginner mistakes in shaping the information policy. They are wary of gluttony and brave but not clever heroism, thus avoiding premature commitment, illusion of control and concealment in the machine room of day-to-day operations.

6. Regular set-up times instead of management offsites

Management teams also make an effective difference in the organization of their meetings. You don't just go outside, but organize team set-up times in which new formats such as collegial advice, study trips and “staff rides” ensure the necessary disruption to the operational routine.
