Leaders

Empower your growth integrators.

Engaged Leaders are, in simple terms, growth integrators. They’re the people who provide the critical link between aspiration and achievement, between your organisation’s Engaged Purpose and the motivation of your team members to make it a reality.

This page will help you understand who an Engaged Leader is, why becoming one is vital, how to avoid some common mistakes, and will provide you with step-by-step instructions for nurturing them.

Who is an Engaged Leader?

“Leader” is not a job title, like “Manager.” A key differentiator is that a leader, through his or her actions, inspires and motivates others. A manager might be very organised and effective at getting things done but may not engender loyalty or devotion. Here are some signs that your leaders – regardless of job title – are Engaged:

They focus on Engagement at an organisational and local level and, coach and mentor their teams from the trenches
They hire great people, then get out of the way to help them become great leaders themselves.
They put their teams (and not themselves) first, show appreciation, and encourage a culture of self-improvement
They are their team’s greatest ambassadors, leading them to achieve great results
They enable effective communication and feedback with team members, and conduct open, two-way reviews on at least a quarterly basis
They are passionate about the organisation’s Purpose, connected to Engaged Owners, and empowered to proactively translate the Purpose into action
