After twenty-five years of
serving as a consultant to leaders, their teams and organizations – some
excelling, some not and others somewhere in the middle, we’ve observed four
characteristics shared by those that live up to their promise and potential:
Identity - They
know who they are, where they are going and what they value
Authenticity -
Trueness – to their mission and values, truth-telling and transparency
Alignment -
Attunement to their stakeholders and environment, adaptability and a sense
of fit, or harmony; decisions and actions reflect who they are
Accountability -
They are responsible, deliver on their promises and exercise sound
stewardship
In our shorthand, they
demonstrate leadership and organizational integrity. We’ve learned that
helping leaders, teams and their organizations strengthen Identity,
Authenticity, Alignment and Accountability pays dividends improving results,
engagement and work relationships.
