Wrap up

Why does leadership matter?

Deloitte study results

In 2011/12 Deloitte studied investment analysts perception of the relationship between corporate leadership and performance

Interviewed 445 analysts and found that effective senior leadership can add 15% to a company’s value

This is about the perception of good leadership

Forbes study results

CEO Genome Project Results

10 year study was to identify the specific attributes that differentiate high-performing CEOs

Looked through 17,000 assessments of C-suite executives

They discovered that successful CEOs tend to demonstrate four behaviours critical to their success:

Decisiveness

The ability to engage stakeholders

Adaptability

Reliability

In summary - Research findings

The perception of good leadership adds value to an organization

Good leaders add financial value to the bottom line of an organization and great leaders add even more value to the bottom line

Leaders who focus and develop their skills of decisiveness, stakeholder engagement, adaptability and reliability increase their chances of not only succeeding in their role but in becoming a high performer

Things to consider

My own story…

• Leadership – A personal interest

• 30 years in social impact sector

• Worked at 9 non-profits – global, national, provincial and community based

• 12 transitions into new roles

• 6 organizational leadership roles

A Leadership Journey

Good leadership is essential

Organization wide impact

It makes good business sense

Leadership succession

Leaders are wanting other ways to structure work

Leadership tenure/leadership burnout

The challenge to attract and retain talent

And Time is ticking…

Exercise

Turn to the person next to you and talk about the following:

• A time when you either practiced good leadership or you saw someone else do so

• share the one or two key elements that enabled that to happen

Growth vs. Fixed

What’s your mindset?

Your intelligence is something very basic about you that you can’t change very much.

You can learn new things, but you can’t really change how intelligent you are.

No matter how much intelligence you have, you can always change it quite a bit.

You can always substantially change how intelligent you are.

*“Mindset. The New Psychology of Success.” Carol S. Dweck, Ph. D.

What is a growth mindset?

What is a fixed mindset?

How do you challenge a fixed mindset?

How do you encourage a growth mindset?

Ask yourself these questions to encourage a growth mindset:

What are the opportunities for learning and growth today? For myself? For the people around me?

As you think of opportunities, form a plan and ask:

When, where and how will I embark on my plan?

And when you succeed, don’t forget to ask yourself:

What do I have to do to maintain and continue the growth?
