leaders and leading
Sometimes it seems to me that when an organisation is in its early, formative stage then leaders are very clear about what they are trying to achieve and how they are going to go about it.As time goes by however, particularly with the unrelenting pressures of a knowledge economy, the organisation can take on a life of its own. Gradually leaders can find themselves out of alignment with what the organisation is trying to achieve.
This process can happen almost without anyone being able to rationalise the situation consciously. People are just aware of a nagging malaise that no one can put a finger on.
In fact it is common to find leaders that are comfortable with aspirations towards excellence for their organisation. This is often takes the form of a mission or a vision statement. However they are much less comfortable with their own personal commitment to excellence. This commitment of course, manifests itself in their development points from their appraisals.
