Leadership Principles and Purpose
Productivity Press (Verlag)
978-1-032-57507-0 (ISBN)
Effective leaders not only support and develop people but develop systems (anchored in principles and procedures) that increase future-focused capability. Increasingly, we need to appreciate the building blocks that link to sound ‘third generation’ corporate governance. This includes Environmental and Social Governance (ESG). We all benefit from understanding the elements that contribute to exceptional leadership.
The book explains how principles shape competencies and build motivation and commitment. The insights also reveal the importance of confirmed competence. This enhances self-belief and increases personal confidence when faced with challenging situations. It adds to resilience. Building on principles helps clarify how energy is best directed to achieve high performance. This also ensures consistency of approach. Values need to be made explicit through principles, which support the design of systems and help shape the culture of the workplace. Principles have relevance for managers, team leaders, and professionals who want to gain insight into how we enhance motivation and commitment at work. However, the information contained in this book goes further as it also raises self-awareness and encourages reflection on the broader issue of how people find meaning and purpose.
