In more than 60 years of experience working with hundreds of organizations, Hay Group has shown repeatedly that performance can be improved by effective leadership behavior that creates a positive workplace climate. For senior managers, who influence the climate and results of large organizations, highly effective leadership behavior is especially crucial to energize subordinates, and in turn motivate their work teams to deliver the extra effort entirely voluntary that is so essential to competitive success. The most effective leaders make conscious use of a full range of leadership styles, responding differently to different situations and needs and providing appropriate guidance and motivation. But few managers understand how their own motives and values shape their instinctive responses to workplace challenges and influence their effectiveness as leaders and motivators. Have they adapted the values that drove their initial business successes to the increasing responsibilities that come with successive promotions? For success in the senior ranks, managers must understand how to engage their own motives and values to fulfill the requirements of their position, expand their effectiveness as leaders and ultimately create the climate that will allow their teams to perform at a consistently high level.
