SUSTAIN EXECUTIVE PERFORMANCE WITH TRANSFORMATIONAL GROWTH

Transformational leaders inspire others to think big, transcend their own interests and work together to enable decisive change and performance improvement. 

Transformational leadership is more effective and sustainable in motivating change in others than 'Transactional' or 'Populist' approaches (refer to the four-quadrant model below).

The measure of a transformational leader is their influence on others. 

But to influence others, we also need to understand people, connect with them and adapt to their needs and our surrounding forces.

There are four factors to transformational influence, (also known as the "four I's"): 

• Idealized influence is about being an exemplary role models for others. Leaders with idealized influence can be respected and trusted to make decisions for the organization.

• Inspirational motivation is about motivating others to commit to the vision of the organisation or that you have for your team. Inspirational motivation encourages team spirit to strive towards larger, aspirational goals.

• Intellectual stimulation is about encouraging innovation and creativity through challenging status-quo beliefs or existing limitations and perspectives. It promotes fresh, critical thinking and problem-solving in an effort to improve the organisation.

• Individual consideration is about acting as a people-developer, coach and advisor to others, influencing them to achieve goals that help both individual and organisation.

(Ref: the terms transformational leadership and 4Is evolved form the work of James Burns and Bernard Bass) 

Huw's approach to transformational leadership is also influenced by Dan Sullivan and Ben Hardy's research and case studies in the book '10x is easier than 2x', which reveals that to achieve more, you sometimes have to do less.

This means working out what you need to let go of, to create space for higher impact tasks.

If 80% of your results derive from 20% of your time, the goal should be to delegate or ditch most of the 80%, which are lower value tasks, freeing up time for you to spend on higher value activities.

This isn't always perfectly possible in large organisations but the principle is worth pursuing with both your personal and professional time and resource allocations.

To experience an elevated influence and the massive impact it has on your colleagues and organisation, you must create space to re-think limiting beliefs and habits. 

Central to the executive leadership challenge is a need to constantly adapt to new challenges and opportunities as they emerge. 

Just to reach the the executive level, proven high-performers must jettison outdated beliefs and habits that helped through middle-management but now hinder at the strategic level. 

A fundamental shift in beliefs and capability is required to become a transformational leader. 

To sustain performance and re-adjust to constant change, this dynamic mindset has to persist. 

As the title and key message of as Marshall Goldsmith’s famous book says: “What got you here, won’t get your there.” 

This means even if the most seasoned leaders must regularly reflect, seek feedback and re-evaluate their thinking to elevate their influence and sustain their career growth trajectory. 

Beyond these challenges, the payoff from mastering a transformational leadership mindset and skillset is substantial as your influence, impact and rewards compound for a successful career, fulfilling relationships and an abundant life.
