This podcast with Edwina Pike, a Leadership and Change Specialist is most eye-opening. She has 6 key elements (listen to find them out).
She believes leaders get the outcomes they deserve. If they want different outcomes they have to check their inputs. New or different inputs give new or different outcomes. It’s that simple (and of course complex).
She emphasises the importance of followership (a Goffee and Jones concept).
She points out that leadership training for the lower echelons of leadership is dumb – it means they see clearly what the top don’t do, and breeds discontent rather than fixing problems.
