Recently SoundBoard Consulting Group held a two day Leadership Strategic Planning Retreat attended by approximately 25 business owners and leaders. Jay Wolf of SoundBoard explained outright that studies have shown that the top companies – those that have outperformed benchmarks like the Dow five years running — always have one thing in common - a positive organizational climate. Who is responsible for this? It is the leader who sets the ideal organizational climate — the temperature in which everyone has the potential, tools and support to excel.
While it is theoretically possible that many people have the capacity to lead, becoming a leader is a little more complicated than simply wanting it. Above all, you want your organization to be one in which leadership can thrive. In order to create a culture of leadership, several other important factors such as leadership style, emotional intelligence and motivation all need to be considered along with the organizational climate.
Today, motivated, dynamic leaders have no shortage of tools they can use to assess their employees (and themselves) and create a climate in which leadership can flourish.
