During a recent coaching session with a business leader, we had a deep discussion about creativity and innovation – or the lack thereof – in his department. He expressed a common frustration: feeling like he was the sole source of new ideas and creativity. This was a heavy burden, especially since innovation is crucial for business growth.
In the fast-paced and ever-evolving business landscape, effective leadership is not just about guiding a team – it’s about driving measurable outcomes that align with the organisation’s strategic goals.
In conversations with leaders, a common theme often emerges: the overwhelming feeling of managing a never-ending to-do list and prioritising a barrage of deliverables. It’s easy to feel lost, unsure of what to tackle first or next. However, gaining control over this chaos is exactly what sets an influential leader apart.
When we talk about transforming strategies into results, accountability is a topic that often takes centre stage. But what does accountability really mean? Simply put, it’s about making sure everyone is not just doing their part but doing it willingly.
