Senior Leadership EffectivenessWherever people come together to accomplish an outcome, leaders emerge, as do the expectations we have of them. These expectations may be spoken or not, recorded or implied, explicit or implicit. But by taking up the mantle of leadership, leaders make promises in response to these expectations, whether they know it or not. And in order to lead successfully and effectively, not only must leaders understand the promises of leadership, they must fulfill them. Since the success of any organization is directly proportional to the effectiveness of its leaders, leaders must commit to developing those skills crucial to performing at a high level. In addition to improving their own level of effectiveness, senior leaders must also improve the effectiveness of their teams. It is, after all, these senior teams that are responsible for setting the direction for the organization, creating meaning and establishing the conditions necessary to win the engagement and commitment of the workforce. An organization simply cannot sustain performance levels above the individual or collective effectiveness level of its leadership. When leadership is ineffective, the entire organization suffers.
