LEADERSHIP IN ACTION
Do we do this?
The Institute of Management recommends:
• Creating systematic and consistent frameworks for reward and
promotion and for developing leadership potential
• Establishing a regular ‘leadership audit’ on a 360 degree assessment
model among employees at all levels in the organisation
• Introducing mentoring programmes across organisations to meet the
need for self awareness at all levels
• Identifying opportunities for leadership that are not tied to formal
management positions, but which offer appropriate recognition and
rewards
• Making learning a priority among the leaders themselves , so that
professional development for all is seen as the norm
• Recognising the perpetual challenge of fairness and transparency in
recruitment and promotion
• Building training and development programmes to link theory and
practice

Freshness:
– As leaders we can encourage our people to try to do things differently
– We can challenge assumptions
– We can encourage benchmarking
Greenhousing:
– We should protect and grow new ideas
– We must try hard to suspend the wisdom of experience
Realness:
– We must put an end to talking, memos, and the e-mail culture
– We must encourage our people to do, rather than talk about doing
Create and sustain momentum:
– Leaders can create a sense of unreasonable urgency
– Leaders must say ‘no’ to some projects
Lots of signals:
– Leaders can build structures to support innovation
– Leaders should use positive and enabling language
Bravery:
– Leaders must be brave in idea development
– Effective leaders liberate their staff to think for themselves
