nearly enough focus has been given to what it takes to make the
<span style="color:blue">transition</span> from being an
<span style="color:blue">effective manager </span>to an
<span style="color:blue">influential leader</span>. This is all the
more surprising because most <span style="color:blue">leadership</span>
roles are filled from the ranks of <span style="color:blue">
high-potential managers.</span> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"">
Even the most talented managers often find themselves blinded by
unexpected aspects of their new role. Or worse, they find themselves
feeling out of their depth – <span style="color:blue">do some of
your managers have this feeling??<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="auto-style4">
<img src="http://crm.resultsdrivengroup.co.uk:81/campaigns/images/timemanagement.jpg" ></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"">
Managers who have been successful typically <span style="color:blue">
“lead from their strengths” </span>only to find their familiar
approaches don’t work in this new context – <span style="color:blue">
sound familiar??</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";
color:blue">Through experience of management and leadership development over the
last 20 years</span><span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"">,
we have found that understanding and preparing for this transition
can help prevent months of frustration and lost momentum, not to
mention <span style="color:blue">talent loss</span><o:p>.</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";
color:blue">The Transition<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"">
As leadership guru John Kotter pointed out many years ago, effective
managers are experts at managing complexity and creating predictable
systems<o:p>.</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"">
They achieve results by systematically pursuing an often linear path
from planning to execution and monitoring, given a specific goal<o:p>.</o:p></span></p>
<p style="font-size: small">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: medium">
<span style="color: #000000">
<img src="http://crm.resultsdrivengroup.co.uk:81/campaigns/images/vision1.jpg" ></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"">
While <span style="color:blue">success</span> often requires some
<span style="color:blue">creativity</span> and
<span style="color:blue">flexibility</span>,<span style="color:blue">
</span>the best managers are often those who operate with deliberate
discipline, including the practice of documenting and learning from
past errors. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"">
This ensures <span style="color:blue">positive outcomes</span>,
particularly in a context where <span style="color:blue">major
challenges</span> are well understood.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";
color:blue">In the early stages of the transition, managers often encounter at
least one of three distinct challenges<o:p>.</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";
color:blue">Firstly</span><span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"">,
new leaders who are accustomed to <span style="color:blue">being
given goals from above </span>may look in vain for such guidance in
their new roles and find themselves stalled without it –
<span style="color:blue">this is often commonplace<o:p>.</o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";
color:blue">Secondly</span><span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"">,
new leaders who are used to having <span style="color:blue">someone
above them interpret messy data </span>from an ambiguous environment
<span style="color:blue">may find themselves terrified </span>at the
prospect of having to <span style="color:blue">direct followers onto
a less than certain path </span>– <span style="color:blue">this can
be scary!!</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";
color:blue">Thirdly</span><span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"">,
new leaders who are knowledgeable experts in their domains and thus
able to direct others from that base of <span style="color:blue">
confidence may find themselves unsure of how to cope with their new
dependence on direct reports.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"">
These <span style="color:blue">managerial expectations and habits</span>,
developed under the <span style="color:blue">pressure for results
</span>and predictability, can act as <span style="color:blue">
significant barriers </span>to successful performance in leadership
roles. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"">
As leading thinkers have noted, <span style="color:blue">leading
requires vision and its associated capabilities</span>. <o:p></o:p>
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"">
These include such capabilities as interpreting the present and
predicting likely futures, assessing the organisation’s competencies
and potential, deciding on a forward direction for the company
despite uncertainties and capability gaps, and then mobilising the
employees toward that new destination<o:p>.</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";
color:blue">Leadership</span><span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"">
also requires a <span style="color:blue">mind-set that is different
</span>from <span style="color:blue">management</span>. <o:p></o:p>
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"">
For example, leaders tend to focus on reward rather than on risk,
facing and managing the latter to achieve the former<o:p>.</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"">
Managers are often risk averse, taking cautious steps to limit or
control risk. Because they must take risks, leaders expect some of
their decisions to be wrong and develop a thick skin to tolerate the
occasional failure. <o:p></o:p>
</span></p>
<p class="auto-style9">
<o:p>
<img src="http://crm.resultsdrivengroup.co.uk:81/campaigns/images/leadership6.jpg" ></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"">
This is a luxury that most managers cannot afford, <span style="color:blue">so few of them develop the resiliency
</span>they will need as leaders.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"">

<span style="color:blue">bespoke management and leadership
development</span> can look like for your teams<o:p>.</o:p></span></p>
