Effective leadership is the magnet to attract new
hires…and keep them.
Seasoned executives, when seeking to expand their
relationships seem to gravitate to effective leaders because of the
culture those leaders have and continue to build. Good cultures evolve because
leadership moves an organization forward in inclusive, incentivized ways,
understanding that when every team member is treated as a stakeholder in the
success of the business, the organization usually thrives. Such cultures
reflect a manage down atmosphere where managers have a real stake (and
obligation) in nurturing and helping their reports be successful and grow into
greater responsibility and authority. In such cultures, the organization is run
as a true meritocracy. Hierarchary does not warrant greater respect than
non-hierarchy. This all comes from effective, authentic, smart, compassionate
and balanced leadership. If leadership is ineffective in its communications and
relationship building, all the incentives and perks in the world will not make
such a company more effective or competitive…or attractive to the best and
brightest hires.
Good Advice For Those Who Fight For Recognition
Thomas W. Higginson was a man of astonishingly varied talents and
accomplishments. A lifelong radical, he was an outspoken abolitionist, advocate
of women’s rights, and founder of the Intercollegiate Socialist Society. During
the Civil War, he served as commander of the first Union regiment of freed
African American soldiers. An ordained Unitarian minister, Higginson was also a
prolific writer; his most highly regarded work was a memoir of his war years,
Army Life in a Black Regiment. He said: "Do not waste a minute–not
a second–in trying to demonstrate to others the merits of your performance. If
your work does not vindicate itself, you cannot vindicate it." I
would add, think always in terms of excellence in how you conduct yourself.
Contribute to others however and whenever you can and strive for integrity in
all you do.
