The most dangerous leadership myth is that leaders are born… That’s nonsense!…Leaders are made.
-Warren Bennis
THE LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE
Mission, purpose and vision drives loyalty across the generations working in an organization. Understanding a company’s purpose helps employees answer yes to the question “Do I belong here?” Employers who emphasize mission and purpose are more successful in retaining Millennials, Gen X and Baby Boomers.
Successful leaders must manage employee loyalty and major change initiatives while employing exquisite conflict management capabilities, guided by a focus on Innovation. But before leaders can begin to address the many complex issues related to engaging and leading their team, department, or organization, they must first address their own leadership capabilities. These challenges are even more imposing to someone who has recently assumed a new leadership role.
