Senior Leadership
What it means: Employees are confident that the organization’s leadership is taking the organization in a good direction, communicates openly and honestly, and models the behavior they expect to see from employees.
When it's a strength
- Core organizational values are talked about frequently, time is taken to explain and promote them
- Leaders deal fairly with others, don’t tolerate double standards or favoritism
- Leaders are visible, get out of the office to establish a personal presence and connection with the workforce
- Information is freely shared
If it’s a weakness:
- Leaders communicate guardedly, only on a “need to know” basis
- Most time is spent in meetings instead of walking through the workplace getting to know the work and people who do it
- Difficult issues are glossed over and news is spun positively
- Leaders maintain distance from general employee population, are isolated, inaccessible, out of touch
