MASTERCLASS ON “INSPIRATIONAL & TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP”
Best Practices on Leading and Engaging Your Workforce
OVERVIEW OF 1-DAY MASTERCLASS
The biggest challenge facing leaders today is the changing world that wants a new paradigm
of leadership. The new reality involves the shift from stability to change and crisis
management, from control to empowerment, from working in silos to collaboration, from
uniformity to diversity, and from a self-centered focus to a higher ethical purpose.
In addition, the concept of leader as hero is giving way to that of the humble leader who
develops others and shares credit for accomplishments. These dramatic changes suggest
that a philosophy based on control and personal ambition will probably fail in the new era.
The challenge for leaders is to evolve to a new mindset that relies on human skills, integrity,
and teamwork – the hallmarks of Inspirational & Transformational Leaders.
Inspirational & Transformational Leaders use intellectual as well as emotional capabilities to
guide organisations through turbulent business environments and help employees feel
energized, motivated, and cared for in the face of rapid change, uncertainty, and job
insecurity. Leaders can expand the capacities of their minds and hearts through conscious
development and practice.
Inspirational Leaders understand the importance of emotional intelligence. Emotionally
intelligent leaders can have a positive impact on organisations by helping employees grow,
learn, and develop; creating a sense of purpose and meaning; instilling unity and team spirit;
and basing relationships on trust and respect, which allows employees to take risks and fully
contribute to the organisation. Leaders develop a team’s emotional intelligence by creating
norms that foster a strong group identity, build trust among members, and instil a belief
among members that they can be effective and succeed as a team.
The Transformational Leader thus takes every opportunity and will use whatever works to
convince others to climb on board the bandwagon. In order to create followers, the
Transformational Leader has to be very careful in creating trust, and their personal integrity
and humility is a critical part of the package that they are projecting themselves as a Leader.
Many managers mistakenly assume that leadership style is a function of personality rather
than strategic choice. Instead of choosing the one style that suits their temperament, they
should ask which style best addresses the demands of a particular situation.
Research has shown that the most successful leaders have strengths in the following
emotional intelligence competencies: self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy,
and social skill. There are six basic styles of leadership; each makes use of the key
components of emotional intelligence in different combinations. The best leaders don’t know
just one style of leadership—they’re skilled at several, and have the flexibility to switch
between styles as the circumstances dictate.

Managers often fail to appreciate how profoundly the organizational climate can influence
financial results. It can account for nearly a third of financial performance. Organizational
climate, in turn, is influenced by leadership style—by the way that managers motivate direct
reports, gather and use information, make decisions, manage change initiatives, and handle
crises (See Figure 1 below). There are six basic leadership styles. Each derives from
different emotional intelligence competencies, works best in particular situations, and affects
the organizational climate in different ways.
Each style has a distinct effect on the working atmosphere of a company, division, or team,
and, in turn, on its financial performance. The styles, by name and brief description alone,
will resonate with anyone who leads, is led, or, as is the case with most of us, does both.
Commanding leaders demand immediate compliance. Visionary leaders mobilize people
toward a vision. Participative leaders create emotional bonds and harmony. Democratic
leaders build consensus through participation. Pacesetting leaders expect excellence and
self-direction. And coaching leaders develop people for the future.
Figure 1 Results-Based Leadership Framework
Organisations need leaders to visualise the future, motivate and inspire employees, and
adapt to changing needs. Our research indicates that, with the right leadership development
support including executive coaching, those with leadership potential can be developed into
outstanding leaders. Emotional Intelligence competencies are perhaps the most challenging
for leaders to develop effectively and yet it is the one that often has the most impact. As
leaders rise through the ranks of an organisation, their profile becomes more visible to
employees and their increased power can have subtle and direct ramifications.
Since leaders lead people, the style with which you do it is important. It must truly represent
you, fit with the situation, the results you wish to achieve and the people you hope will follow
your lead. In truth, having a particular style is not as essential to being a leader as having a
vision of what could exist, being committed to the vision, bringing great energy to realising
that vision and having people to support you.1

Putting Employees Always
Leadership is all about the ability to have impact and influence on your followers so as to
engage them towards achieving results of your organisation through both Ontological
Humility and Servant Leadership & Level 5 Leadership Styles blended with elements of
Socialised Power/Social Intelligence Competencies2
.
Putting the customer first has been the mantra of many companies for a long time. But
however correct the mantra may be, perhaps it’s time to question the wisdom of it. Some
companies already have, that is, put the customer second, after employees. The results are
surprising and enlightening – engaged and contented employees and companies cited for
their best practices. Moreover, customers are satisfied. This Workshop presents an
operating model and proven approach for putting employees first.
Steady, long-term competitiveness requires an organization to be committed to putting
employees first and developing quality training programs that are linked to its strategic
objectives. Without a true commitment to the employees at all levels throughout an
organization, the journey to enhance organizational performance will be an elusive
adventure. Quality employees equate to organizational success. Unqualified and poorly
trained employees equate to organizational failure.
An organization’s employees have always made the difference between a truly successful
organization and a mediocre entity, but it’s amazing how often managers overlook or
discount this fundamental recipe for economic survival. Organizations with cultures that
focus on their people and that invest in their future will in the long-run, be more competitive
than cultures that view employees as mere costs to be reduced in times of trouble.
Extensive published research including from CEE own consulting engagement, have
resulted in the understanding the organization that plans every action around its employees
will thrive in the marketplace.
How to improve employee loyalty is one of today’s most difficult problems that troubles
business leaders. Research has consistently shows that by putting employees first you can
actually deliver your promise of customers first. If you do not put the employee first – if the
business of management and managers is not to put employee first – there is no way you
can get the customer first.
We have found that the Employees First approach produces far more passion than any
motivational or recognition program. Why? Because it proves that management understands
the importance of the work being done by the employees in the first place. It demonstrates
that we are actively helping them in ways that make it easier for them to do their jobs. It
shows that we trust them to do what needs to be done in the way they believe it should be
done. And it shows that we respect them for the value they bring to the company.
We give them understanding, help, trust and respect–which are the drivers of employee
engagement.
