The wheel of leadership - easy and efficient
Verfasser: pr-gateway on Monday, 30 November 2020Roel Schaart explains how the transition to a new leadership role can be made efficient and easy
When someone is promoted to a new leadership role, there is often a list of tasks that the candidate must fulfill. "This ignores what is really necessary for the new leader. Too often management looks in the rearview mirror to understand what the company needs for the road ahead. The real test of a candidate's future performance is the degree to which he or she is prepared to lead the company tomorrow, not yesterday," explains Roel Schaart.
As before, new leaders are trained primarily on the "how" and less on the "who." This often means that many things are doomed to fail in advance. In this context, Roel Schaart raises three questions that management should ask itself: "How to support leaders in a transition into a higher level? What are the best steps to coach, mentor, and prepare leaders? What are simple strategies to make the transition effective, efficient, and easy?"
