Talent Leadership

An HCI Community

The Ethical (and Emotionally Intelligent) Leader

Blog: Author: Joy Kosta | Source: HCI | February 23, 2010

As usual HCI Community Leader blogs share what we're reading, especially when a webcast topic "was no more than a gleam in our eye," meaning, how a collection of articles, discussions, and ideas gave birth to webcasts coming up. So here's the convergence of ideas on leadership this week. The emotionally intelligent leader is value-driven and has effective interactions with talent at all levels; they’re out there. Just ask Alex Brigham who is presenting Ethics as Business Advantage Mar 4 (rebroadcast through Mar 8) and Steven Stein who is presenting How EI Competencies Lift the Bottom Line Mar 11 (rebroadcast through Mar 15).

Especially when the going gets tough, people fall back on their values. Demonstrating genuine relationships with talent and leading by example is high on engagement metrics; and being a model of values and encouraging talent to represent the company’s values is also good business.  more »

Ethics as a Business Advantage

     Webcast: March 4, 2010

What is the "ethics advantage"? Why is it a competitive advantage - and not just a moral obligation - to become an ethical organization? The truth is this: companies that establish ethical climates in the workplace reflect it in their strategy, service, culture and bottom line. Both global enterprises and small businesses leverage the ethics advantage with talent that is more engaged, willing to communicate openly with senior leadership about continuous improvement, and champion customer loyalty. This webcast focuses on the advantages of creating ethical climates in the work environment. This is the first in a series of webcasts detailing how leaders can model and inspire business ethics, as well as what companies can do to gain the ethics advantage in their talent and leadership development.

Leaders on LeadershipAvailable to Executive Members

     Webcast: December 17, 2009
Developing leadership talent is one of a company's most important challenges. Over the past 6 years, the executive producers at 50 Lessons have conducted hundreds of interviews with global, C-level leaders in an effort to unearth the choices and wisdom responsible for an executive's success. The insights gleaned from these interviews reveal traits and competencies that are common amongst successful leaders. Unfortunately, many leadership development programs feature content and methodologies that fail to inspire and motivate both existing and emerging leaders to develop these capabilities. Join us to learn more about these insights, the leadership skills and traits that are advocated and how you can effectively cultivate these in your management and leadership teams.

Don't miss these webcast take-away's; leave with insights to better understand:

  • The relationship and distinctions between management and leadership.
  • The fundamental leadership traits, skills and competencies cited most frequently by successful leaders.
  • The critical leadership trait that most development programs fail to address.
  • Simple, innovative and cost-effective approaches to enabling leadership development experiences.

    Unload Your Brain

         Blog: Author: Joshua Ehrlich | Source: HCI | December 21, 2009

    What are the essential strategies to think, focus and lead? All of us are running faster and faster as technology shreds our attention. We desperately need to take back control by learning to stop, reflect and focus. The discipline of paying attention has an immediate impact on performance and accelerates learning. Over the last 15 years of coaching executives I have found that knowing how and where to focus is critical to learning leadership skills. It is also vital for organizational effectiveness.   more »

    Doing More With Less: Paying for Performance in the New Economic Reality

         Article: Author: Lori Wisper and Scott Cohen, PhD | Source: Hewitt Associates | March 4, 2010

    The "great recession" of 2008-2009 has resulted in unprecedented cost-cutting actions for most organizations — especially cuts related to compensation. To help companies best align pay and performance so employers and employees benefit, this article explores the traditional way companies have paid for performance through salary budgets, why this will no longer be effective in the new economic reality and how to improve it.

    Ethical leadership: A social learning perspective for construct development and testing

         Article: Author: M Brown, L Trevino, D Harrison | Source: Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes | February 22, 2010

    Leaders should be a key source of ethical guidance for employees. Yet, little empirical research focuses on an ethical dimension of leadership. We propose social learning theory as a theoretical basis for understanding ethical leadership and offer a constitutive definition of the ethical leadership construct. In seven interlocking studies, we investigate the viability and importance of this construct. We develop and test a new instrument to measure ethical leadership, examine the proposed connections of ethical leadership with other constructs in a nomological network, and demonstrate its predictive validity for important employee outcomes. Specifically, ethical leadership is related to consideration behavior, honesty, trust in the leader, interactional fairness, socialized charismatic leadership (as measured by the idealized influence dimension of transformational leadership), and abusive supervision, but is not subsumed by any of these. Finally, ethical leadership predicts outcomes such as perceived effectiveness of leaders, followers’ job satisfaction and dedication, and their willingness to report problems to management.
