We have been empowered to create a fun environment that will help us retain and attract employees. We have unleashed our creativity. For example, we have created game rooms on every floor and have free Salsa lessons once a week. We re slowly breaking out of the old blue suit culture that has been a part of our company forever. These leadership roles represent a paradigm that is different from traditional thinking.
Leadership focuses on doing the right things.
Leadership is about coping with change. Part of the reason it has become so important in recent years is that the business world has become more competitive and more volatile. Faster technological change, greater international competition and the deregulation of markets are among the many factors that have contributed to this shift in the company I work for and many others. Major changes are more and more necessary to survive and compete effectively in this new environment. More change always demands more leadership.
