Leadership Matters Jennie Godfrey (Group Head of People Innovation, Centrica)
“People join companies but leave bosses” “Results = Customer experience = Employee performance Leadership has a direct impact on all three” “How you behave on a day to day basis has more impact on your people than any strategy” “Research suggests that leveraging leadership can lead to 30% more discretionary effort. Even if it is wrong by a half, 15% is too large a figure to ignore” Leadership Matters
Leadership Lessons • Focus your energy in your circle of influence • You can’t do everything…. • …but do what you say you’re going to do • If someone is doing a good job, tell them, if someone is not doing a good job, tell them • Keep your eye on the prize
You can’t do everything…. Urgent Not Urgent Important Not Important
Ifsomeone is doing a good job, tell them, if someone is not doing a good job, tell them • Be specific • “In the meeting yesterday….” • Focus on the behaviour • “What I saw/heard/observed is…..’ • Describe the impact • “How that felt was….’ • Describe the change • “What might help is….”
A word from the wise to finish…. • “To lead people, walk beside them As for the best leaders, the people do not notice their existence The next best, the people honour and praise The next, the people fear; and the next, the people hate When the best leader's work is done the people say, We did it ourselves” Lao Tzu
