Everything starts with business objectives
Our leadership model is a road map for the leadership process. At its core are the business objectives: what we’re going to do and how we’ll get it done.
Objectives should be identified at every level and in every unit, from maintenance and operations to safety, environmental, HR and reliability. Use the model whenever you make decisions or direct activities toward those objectives.
Direction, alignment, enabling and execution
Our partnership with DiSC supports this philosophy and helps you inspire the people you lead.
Personal, interpersonal and organizational leadership
Leaders are the change agents of the organization. They build commitment by setting and communicating a vision that inspires others to follow.
Personal leadership (leading oneself). Your integrity, initiative, communication, decision-making and personal style. The foundation of your capacity to lead others.
Interpersonal leadership (one to one). Listening, delegating, coaching and resolving conflict, so you can read and respond to the people around you.
Organizational leadership (one to many). Creating shared vision, aligning resources and executing, even with competing priorities.
