Like many of you, we’re seeing that leadership teams across industries are increasingly focused on transformational growth. Maybe you’ve decided to enter an emerging market. Maybe you’re using AI to offer new services to customers, and so on. It’s common to believe that the consensus of employees and other stakeholders is enough to achieve a successful transformation. However, consensus can fall off during unexpected challenges, and this can have a major impact on outcomes. That’s why in this week’s Quick Take episode, Scott and I discuss what you can do to lead from consensus to commitment for transformational growth.
During our conversation, we address the question, “If so many leaders know that commitment is important, why is settling for consensus the norm?” We share quick stories where leading from consensus to commitment had significant top and bottom-line impacts. We also discuss three immediately useful ideas for fostering an environment that can help people discover their own reasons to wholeheartedly commit to a bold transformational vision and do what it takes to bring it to life.
“The greater the level of commitment, the greater the ability of everyone to overcome the inevitable challenges and unexpected opportunities that can emerge during transformation” — Pam Harper
