Leadership is essential for creating purpose, providing motivation and delivering all-round outstanding results. The Investors in People accreditation looks at three aspects of leadership:
Leaders make the organisation’s objectives clear and inspire and motivate people to meet these objectives. Leaders are trusted by everyone within the organisation.
Leaders and people act in line with the organisation’s values at all times, and they have the support and courage to challenge inconsistent behaviours.
People feel empowered and trusted to make and act on their own decisions, in line with the company values and objectives.
Constant change is now often the norm for many organisations. Flatter business structures allow for faster decision making, agility and customer focus – leading to reduced overheads, better service for customers and greater overall success.
Performance is measured and feedback provided.
People are motivated to perform at their best through clear recognition and reward for high performance.
Roles are designed to meet organisational objectives and create interesting work for people. Roles are structured to deliver the organisation’s ambition, while collaborative working is encouraged.
Organisations are constantly looking for opportunities to improve and understand that every small improvement contributes to the ability to continually outperform.
People are managed and developed to help them realise their full potential. This also ensures organisations have the right people in the right roles at the right time.
Within the organisation there is a focus on continuous improvement, whereby people are encouraged to use internal and external sources to suggest innovative new ideas and approaches.
