Neo-Leadership: Changing the Information Age.

Neo-Leadership: Changing the Information Age.

The leader - is the one who creates the future.
John Cotter.
Global Village.

Today, thanks to the rapidly increasing capabilities of communication (Internet + Mobile Communications), the availability of the information environment and the freedom to communicate, make us one global village, the inhabitants of Earth. Think of a few years ago to read the book, we had to find it in stores and go to buy, and today we can even order a post from another hemisphere, or simply download from the internet for a couple of minutes. Previously, if we needed a board, we asked his comrades, or were in a place where there are knowledgeable people .... Today we can read the answer to your question on the forum, use the free on-line consultation or to get an answer instantly, wherever we are, through the miracle of mobile communications. Yesterday, the only way of transparency, which was available to us - letter to the newspaper, which can be ever published. Everyone can now completely free to open your journal (blog) and write it all he wants, and as he wishes - the number of readers is determined only by keen interest in the topic.

Yes, it refers to is not yet the world's population, but almost every citizen can feel what it means to be a resident of a global village of the Earth. However, new opportunities are also new conditions for business ...
What does this mean in practice?

1.
People are much smarter and clearly the right choice. If they have anything unclear, but it is important to know they can easily understand this because they always have a handy library of information or professionals who could ask for.
2.
Thanks to the speed of communication, the time of a backlash from the world of our actions is significantly reduced. People are much more to discuss what attracts attention. Public opinion is beginning to have more and more important.
3.
Change is accelerating. Today's technology and business opportunities are developing as quickly as it moves more. If someone has a good business idea and a real business plan, the banks and investors could provide him the means, and plants - to make it produce customized.
4.
A great number of books, training, distance education, and their number increases with each passing day. People learn and grow faster than it seems.

New conditions for success.

If you want to succeed in global competition - you need the best head. What they can retain or attract to you?

In fact, nobody wants to go from good growing company with an honest and forward-looking business, which has become their family. And if it is implemented, people will still go, only because they do not get that will allow them to realize their full potential.

1.
Growing company.
2.
Honest and promising business.
3.
The company is the "family" for its employees.
4.
People have a space for growth and fulfillment.

This is a necessary minimum to attract and retain the best head. But the new conditions for success will require leadership and a new management style. In place of the old style of leadership is Neo-Leadership.
Basic principles of Neo-laws of leadership.
1. Honesty.

It is not even that people are perfectly able to feel when they lie, and discuss it with colleagues ... The point is that when the voice sounds sincere, it has energy and this energy is able to bring people along. It felt (and still is in memory) on the emotional level, and all said that a rational mind is perceived through the filter of emotion.
2. Development.

When a person develops and supports the development of others, he is respected, and it is much easier to forgive mistakes, than one who stands on the spot.

When a leader is not only growing, but also creates opportunities for others, it wants to go. And people today are ready to take the absence of a great deal, because it knows that tomorrow they may be.

As a leader in its development in the head and shoulders above the other and grows in full view, people want him to learn .... And sometimes they are willing to do so, even if they have to work 16 hours a day, 7 days a week free of charge. Because for them it is a unique opportunity to learn a true success.
3. Systemic thinking.

People may not understand or simply do not see in their seats the whole picture. But the leader to succeed, must see more than the whole picture in order to control the outcome in the long run. Because there is no system that would not be part of another system which, in turn, too. And if you have to change anything, it will cause a wave of change, if a - a wave of creativity ....

The leader, who thinks the system, the system operates at a meta-level. Looking at the company (team or company) as a system, he sees more of a global trend, and notes the key linkages and interdependencies with other "players on the field." The fact that people looking "inside" may seem "prophecy", for it would be the natural logic of the system, the result of systematic analysis of things. optimizes "bottle neck" business processes, it can be in times to increase the efficiency of the system at the same cost, while using the "principle of the lever" - "deploy" system at 180 degrees in one motion.
4. Team spirit.

A good team - it is family, good family - a team. In the team there is something more than a simple band. As a team, people, primarily driven by their personal interests, and their responsibility ends at the boundary perimeter of the space allotted to them. In every team feels like something more than just a man - a new body on behalf of "we", and in the first place it is a team goal, and he shared the responsibility for it as his own. Such "teamwork" can create (and support, broadcasting it), only the leader of the team.

In Neo-Leadership "teamwork" - this is not a metaphor, this methodology and guidelines. And it occurs through the framework of the corporate culture, and demonstrated leadership in each word and each decision, the position of "we". Positions, which is a particular emotional feeling - a new type of emotion.
