17. Seven Tough Questions to Ask About Your Leadership Culture
I have been told by many CEOs that they have invested heavily in leadership development and are still not seeing the results. I have supported many CEOs on enhancing their organisational cultures.
*These CEOs were not happy with their leaders for some of the reasons I discuss below. There was something amiss. We uncovered there were two factors at play:*
1. The CEOs had not clearly articulated their vision of the culture (and their expectations of leaders.)
2. The Leaders therefore created their own habits.
*I ask CEOs that I work with these Seven Tough Questions to Ask About their Leadership Culture - they will help you determine whether your leadership culture needs a refresh:*
*1.* Do your leaders empower and trust their staff or do they deploy the more directive style where what they say goes?
*2.* Do your leaders actually get on with each other and work constructively with each other? (A diversity of leaders and a difference of opinions are needed, what I am asking here is do your leaders have a good working relationship with each other?)
*3. *Do your leaders have the full picture, or are they working in their own patches? In silos?
*4.* Are your leaders on the same page about the organisation’s strategic direction? Or do they have their own versions of it?
*5. *Do your leaders share information freely or hold onto it with the mentality that knowledge is power?
*6. *Do your leaders inspire their teams?
*7. *Are your leaders emotionally intelligent? Do they have the capacity to be aware of, control, and express their emotions, and can they handle interpersonal relationships judiciously and empathetically?
*Fun fact:* A study by Deloitte states “More than 80% of the jobs created between now and 2030 will be for knowledge workers, and two-thirds of jobs will be strongly reliant on soft skills.” What are you doing to develop the soft skills of your leaders?
*Read the article where I initially wrote about this.*

13. Change Management, The Japanese Way
You may have had to focus on *change management on the fly* at times over the past years. As we now focus on recovery, let us not forget the importance of *planned* *change management…*
*You have probably experienced failed change projects some time in your career. *
An ex colleague explained the Japanese concept of *Nemawashi* to me long ago.
Nemawashi in Japanese means an informal process of quietly laying the foundation for some proposed change or project, by talking to the people concerned, gathering support and feedback, and so forth. It is considered an important element in any major change, before any formal steps are taken, and successful nemawashi enables changes to be carried out with the consent of all sides.
I simplify it to a formula: *Meeting Before the Meeting (During and Meeting After the Meeting…)*
I have applied this process in many aspects, one of which is in change and culture optimisation projects that I have supported my clients with. Here are some useful pointers from what I have learned. In this episode of Ways to Change the Workplace, I share:
* What the Nemawashi Process Is Not:

10. 8 Ways to Bring Your Company Values to Life: The Success Stories!
If Culture eats Strategy for breakfast, I’d say your Values may eat your Vison for brunch.
Values are an integral part of an organisation’s culture. Your Values ideally should be the guiding principles in which everyone in your company behave, serve their customers and achieve your Vision.
*The Issue: *People either don’t know the company’s values OR don’t like them.
*The Potential Reasons*:
* Your staff weren’t included in creation of your Values.
* Your Values relate to the external facing elements of the company only.
* Your Values are not in your (the CEO, Leaders and HR Team’s vernacular.) If you’re not living your Values, why should anyone else?
* Your Values are too wordy or too simple – yes, a dichotomy there.
* Your Values posters are all over the place but they’re still not being applied.
*So, what to do?*

9. Menopause is a Female Leadership Issue
*Menopause is a female leadership issue.*
It’s a fact. Did you know:
* 78% of women in the workplace who are 45-60 years old will face the effects of menopause on their career.
* By that age, many women are in the peak of their leadership ladder.
* As more women enter the workplace, this issue is only going to grow.
* Another fun fact: workplaces which have more females in leadership positions tend to perform better financially.
So why is it that we don’t pay enough attention to this stage of life in the workplace?

7. How to Use Your Positional Power for Good (vs. Evil!)
*How to use your positional power for good!*
I have spoken to many CEOs and Senior Leaders whom I support about the notion of positional power. Put simply, positional power is the use of your power (of authority) to get things done. This type of power is something you exert over others. It is the use of your authority. Positional power is a preordained source of power given to a person as a result of their position.
*Types of positional power:*
1. Your manager can use their positional power to allocate tasks to you
2. Your coach could use their positional power to hold you accountable to the actions you committed to in your coaching session
3. It can also be applied in a forced way (dictatorial rulers use their power to ensure their people do as they say)
*3 Ways and Tips to Use Your Positional Power for Good.*
Here are some points to consider as you lead your organization’s culture.
*1. The higher you are in the hierarchy, the further you may be from the grassroots.*

3. Performance Liberation NOT Performance Management with Professor Steve McKenna
Is your performance cycle one you enjoy, or one which is seen as an imposition from HR?
Is it a good use of your time, or waste?
Is the conversation with your manager an easy one to have, or painful?
If you are feeling your performance planning is a painful experience, fret not, you are not alone!
