How do you measure Leadership?


Developing PMS 

Husk is working with Optima on developing a performance management system. A few days ago, a group of Husk employees tried to define how leadership should be measured and evaluated. I found this list fascinating especially given all that we've read about leadership through the Acumen Fellowship curriculum. They defined a leader as someone that 
  • Can implement change
  • Makes strategic decisions
  • Motivates and empowers employees 
  • Has an ownership attitude
  • Is aligned with code of ethics and values
  • Is accessible to subordinates
  • Creates co-operation among team members and across teams
  • Is accepted as a leader

Certainly big shoes to fill.

Perhaps the most critical and telling aspect about being a leader is judging one's acceptance. The danger lies in confusing the varying degrees and reasons for "acceptance". Soliciting feedback & the ability to reflect become integral to filling the big shoes.
