Philips has developed a Leadership Competencies framework that aims to create a new and different management style in the company. Not only must managers be able to organize and conduct their businesses, but they should also have the vision and drive to inspire and lead those around them to world-class performance levels. The key is for managers to excel in giving the people around them the necessary guidance, responsibility and authority.
Leaders come in many different sorts.
There are leaders whose charisma alone is enough to draw the very best out of their colleagues, and there are leaders that shout directives from on high. It is this desire to achieve that is crucial for success in business. The highly competitive environment in which Philips operates requires a superior performance in every area. To improve business results, a company needs world-class leaders to make it happen. We apply the highest standards of performance in our professional disciplines and the efforts of our businesses are creating many exciting opportunities for the future.
