Four Things that Pacesetting Leaders Get Right
Our business world is not merely competitive. It's hypercompetitive. Run-of-the-mill performance is no longer acceptable. To stay ahead, companies need leaders who build and maintain sustained high performance.
Over two decades ago, I began studying leaders who had done
that very thing. I started to identify common denominators in organizations –
both profit and nonprofit – which had attained exceptional, pacesetting
performance.
Even more importantly, I began to condense what I learned into
models and methodologies which I could share with clients. Along the way, I came to realize that I could categorize the leadership principles for achieving peak performance under four
headings:
·
People
Alignment
Culture
·
Engagement
Recently I've embarked on developing an online course entitled how to be a PACEsetting leader, with the letters P-A-C-E intentionally capitalized. These letters form an acronym consisting of the first letters of the words people, alignment, culture, and engagement.
In this podcast, I survey critical leadership traits under each of those headings. They are indeed the pillars that support PACEsetting leadership.
