The 10 capabilities of great leaders.
We’ve been looking closely at... what good people management looks like in today's unpredictable global work environment.
Drawn on the latest thinking, insight and evidence, and endorsed by subject experts and customers globally, our framework clarifies our view on what developing the best managers and leaders looks like and identifies the 10 capabilities all leaders need.
1. Leading inclusively
Evidence shows inclusive teams perform better, are more creative and have superior wellbeing. Being inclusive is more than words, and even actions, it begins with mindset.
2. Being authentic
Research shows authenticity is associated with greater wellbeing, happiness, engagement, innovation, and retention.
3. Growing talent
The best managers/leaders have a growth mindset for themselves and their teams. They identify and use the unique strengths of their team to deliver performance.
4. Nurturing change readiness
Agile managers/leaders proactively read and act on signals of change. They are open to better ways of working and champion innovation.
5. Fostering psychological safety
Being able to speak up is foundational for team creativity, performance, learning and wellbeing. A safe environment is not a soft one, nor is it always comfortable.
6. Having straightforward conversations
Leadership is all about conversations - about results, customers, strategy, learning, innovation, performance, wellbeing.
7. Building connections & relationship
The best manager/leaders build and nurture constructive relationships internally and externally. They take the time to really know others. They care about the enterprise beyond their own team.
8. Providing direction & clarity
All the team know where their role fits and how they contribute. Goals are aligned and well communicated. They know the ‘why, what and how’.
9. Delivering sustainable performance
Managers/leaders are outcome focused. They pay attention to the short and longer term. They are mindful of the wider impact of their decisions – on society, the environment and communities they serve.
10. Creating purposeful agile plans
Leaders need clear, compelling, and well managed plans to support individual, team and organizational success.
