I like this concept of management( behavioral leadership ) by the grid taught to us a few years back( almost a decade) and the way it enables you to transform by sheer experiential learning.
It simply assesses the abilities of a person to measure and utilise the human factor versus the outcome.Concern for people versus concern for results in short.Lets take the Y axis and say that is where the Human emotional and ergonomical factors are pitted and on the X axis the results from 0-100% achievement.Based on Human Psychology , a (9,0) Person is classified as a downright hardcore boss who simply wants his results and doesn't care about the emotional quotient.How many of us are like that?On the other hand the (0,9) Manager , is out and out a PR man , and for him or her he just wants to be the goody goody guy to ensure he is always in the good books irrespective of the results.
A(1,1) guys is obviously the one is who is at the lowest rung and not bothered either ways.The (5,5) guys is generally the most found person who does the tightrope walk trying to balance everything and ultimately have a harrowing time.
Ideally speaking one must gun for the(9,9) man, who is assertive and uses his commonsense and intellect in the right quadrants to dish out the best outcome managing the Human resource diligently.He or she is the result oriented, well balanced manager , who manages all the resources in the most optimal way.What has to be done has to be done and how and where and who etc will be supported in a way that a solution is sought every time rather that raising flags stating a problem.His whole attitude is always towards a solution for every problem.Ability to hear, comprehend,act, deliver, in the most meticulous manner is the art.Not giving up, rolling up your sleeves where required, using that extra effort to make it happen, and not wait for miracles.Leadership, motivation , direction, clarity of thought and reason is uppermost in him or her.Communication with clarity and wisdom, short and to the point, crimping the flab and providing the tools to deliver makes the team working with such a person so engaged that they start owning every bit of their task.That makes the difference.
Ownership vs Responsibility and if that is achieved at all levels we have won the game.
