WHAT'S THE BIGGEST RISK TO YOUR TRANSFORMATION?
The #1 Risk to Your Transformation's Success is:
“Command and Control Leaders”
The #1 Strategy to Mitigate this Risk is:
"Lead Co-Creatively"
Here's What That Means:
What that strategy means is empowering people and unleashing their potential, so they are inspired and commit to your transformation, leading to sustainable business success for all.
Co-creating is a way of thinking and relating with others who are working toward the same outcomes. It is a simple and powerful approach that completely alters the terrain of political mine fields and competition. It’s defined as individuals or teams working together across boundaries to do whatever is necessary to achieve WIN-Win-Win outcomes.
The Costliest Mistake from this Risk
One of the costliest mistakes leaders make when leading transformation is leaders operating from a command-and-control leadership style.
This results in the focus of work production and profit at all costs at the expense of their team’s culture and satisfaction, or the collateral damage their organization may cause on their communities or the environment.
Let us explain…
When people operate from this kind of “win-lose” mindset, self-interest and self-preservation drive their thinking and behavior. This causes them to seek “power over and control” of others, and to pursue what they think is best for their group at the expense of what the other group(s) might need or want.
Ultimately, these patterns of behavior in leaders will be costly to the company. Uncertainty, risk, and opportunity for power usually increases. It can slow things down, be a drag on the process, and sabotage the outcome. It can also lead to individuals and factions exerting influence over others for their own agendas. In some cases, both covert and explicit power dynamics mushroom, leading to chaos, competition, and even malicious behavior.
Here’s What You Can Do to Mitigate this Risk
Thankfully there are ways for you to support your leaders to lead co-creatively. In doing so, leaders will engage others, communicate openly, and listen deeply.
Here’s what you can do to get started.
It all begins with dialoguing together about your future and your vision for it. Don’t “command-and-control” others to your vision. Rather, work together, with a “quality of equality” between your leaders, teams, and the workforce.
Your Next Steps
Now you might be wondering:
What are the other ways for me to be a co-creative leader? How can I support my leaders to lead this way?
Well, that is exactly what we’ve been doing for 45+ years. When we are called into a failing transformation, the first thing we do is develop the executive leaders’ Self-Mastery and teach them how to lead co-creatively.
In fact, since these strategies are so critical to the success of any transformation, they are the very first two strategies we teach step-by-step in our Leading Transformational Change course.
