In my 15 years experiences, I have found out the reasons why the leader get fail or success in their role within his/her organization for every level and position. You all know what needed mostly from the leader, yes you right, the effective leader must influence his/her organization to cooperatively reach the goals of their organization. And you will agree, in achieving the success, there would be some failures, but the effective leader will pass it successfully if she/he has one value within him/herself. What the value is it?
To achieve your goals, or solve a problem, you must do it differently from the current method. Finding a solution or preparing project milestone to reach the goals is quite easy today, but to change yourself and your people behaviour is still a challenge for every leader. Yes, to do it differently will require behaviour change of the people involve in that change.
As the leader, you required to change the behaviour of your teamwork to do or not do a thing in reaching your organization’s goals. So as every leadership expert said, you must lead them by example (see supermanager), this is integrity, Consistency in word and deed. Saying and doing what is right - legally and ethically. How can you expect your people keep their work area clean and tidy when your room is so messy, or how can you expect your people work to achieve your organization’s goals you set for your teamwork while you focus on something else. This is the value every effective leader must have, integrity.
Sometimes when everything is going well, you might ignore that kind of value in your organization, and by the time it becomes forgotten. Then your organization suddenly down into the crisis, this is the time people will see your quality as the leader they must follow and trust. If they don’t trust you, how can you expect them to follow you unless you force them by your power but the effectiveness is gone. To make your people trust you, they must see your integrity value first before other things.
