Realise the talent within
Not everyone’s style is the same, not everyone delivers identically. And as a good employer you wouldn’t want them to. You value the richness of different voices and views working towards your common goals. You will be proud of your recognition and reward processes, and the way you identify and develop your leadership talent.
It’s easy to spot and define that talent when they lead from the front. But how much untapped additional capacity and impact is there around them? At risk of being overlooked and underused simply because they make things happen from the background.
Adjusting the leadership lens
They might not be seen as leaders but they are so much more than followers. Your next generation of leaders go to them for advice; they are the constructive opinion-formers who keep your values and goals alive and bring others along with them. They are your corporate memory, the cohesion and resilience in challenging times. They have no interest in being the loudest voice yet they can often make the greatest business statement: they help your goals succeed.
Leading Difference helps organisations and individuals make best use of their existing, untapped talent. It brings into focus the impact that can be gained through the correct engagement and development of the unassuming and understated talent who lead from within.
