ACHIEVING BUSINESS RESULTS THROUGH EFFECTIVE LEADERSHIP

"The experience and expertise which you and your colleagues brought … was key in helping us begin the journey toward establishing clear leadership values for Alliant Techsystems."
John Buck, Vice President of Administration, Alliant Techsystems )

Leadership in today's rapidly changing business environment is more complex than ever. The challenge is how to get results today and build for tomorrow. Today's leaders must be both "master mechanics" (transactional emphasis) and "master inventors" (transformational emphasis): improving today's results while simultaneously creating new vision and reality for tomorrow.

How does Vector help create more effective leadership in this environment ? Our Functional Leadership Model, which forms the basis for our management and leadership programs, keeps the focus on the functions of Effective Leadership; on what leaders actually do in their daily performance:

Transactional Emphasis

Provision of:

Transformational Emphasis

Mission , goals, objectives

DIRECTION

Vision, values

Rewards, recognition

MOTIVATION

Expectations

Policies, procedures

GUIDANCE

Modelling

Effective leaders play both sides of the model, realizing that transformational emphasis alone will not bring about reliable and sustainable performance, and transactional emphasis alone will not bring about change and commitment.

Creating more effective performance is also about helping your managers understand how their individual behavior affects organizational performance. We work with your management to identify the core values and practices your organization needs to succeed. These become the basis for a powerful 360º multi-rater leadership survey, providing specific feedback on how well a manager actually demonstrates those practices. Interpretation of, and action planning related to, 360 results is another essential component of our leadership and management development programs.
