and one global marketplace have increased the pace of change exponentially during the past 10 years The leadership challenge is to galvanize commitment among people within an organization as well as stakeholders outside the organization to embrace change and implement strategies intended to position the organization to succeed in a vastly different future
5 Strategic Intent • Leader’s clear sense of where they want to lead their company and what results they expect to achieve.
6 Clarifying Strategic Intent • Leader’s vision—an articulation of a simple criterion or characterization of what the leader sees the company must become to establish and sustain global leadership. • Make clear the performance expectations a leader has for the organization, and managers in it, as they seek to move toward that vision.
7 Leadership Development • The effort to familiarize future leaders with the skills important to the company and to develop exceptional leaders among the managers employed.
8 Building an Organization • Perseverance (of a leader) – The capacity to see a commitment through to completion long after most people would have stopped trying. • Principles (of a leader) – A leader’s fundamental personal standards that guide her sense of honesty, integrity, and ethical behavior.
9 Shaping Organizational Culture • Passion, in a leadership sense, is a highly motivated sense of commitment to what you do and want to do • Leaders also use reward systems, symbols, and structure among other means to shape the organization’s culture • Leaders look to managers they need to execute strategy as another source of leadership to accept risk and cope with the complexity that change brings about

24 The Role of the Organizational Leader • The leader is the standard bearer, the personification, the ongoing embodiment of the culture, or the new example of what it should become • How the leader behaves and emphasizes those aspects of being a leader become what all the organization sees are “the important things to do and value.”

Many leaders in recent years, and inevitably in
any organization, are new to the top post of the organization
In the other situation, a new leader who is not
an “initiated” member of the culture faces a much more challenging task
26 Ethics • Ethical standards are a person’s basis for differentiating right from wrong. • The culture of an organization, and particularly the link between the leader and the culture’s very nature, is inextricably tied to the ethical standards of behavior, actions, decisions, and norms that leader personifies.
