Just had an enlightening conversation with the incredible Erik Kruger, founder of Modern Breed, on the essence of effective leadership. “A personal operating system and performance execution system are crucial for leaders,” Erik emphasized.
In the dynamic realm of leadership, Erik shared the importance of understanding your Leadership Operating System.
There are two key types – Transformational Leaders and Transactional Leadership. Add a dash of Situational Leadership to the mix, and you’ve got the recipe for leadership success in any scenario within your organisation.
Here’s a humorous yet insightful operating system Erik shared:
1) How do I make more money?
2) How do I give myself a portion of that?
3) How do I make it sustainable?
Erik also spotlighted Frank Slootman, author of “Amp It Up,” as a stellar example. Slootman’s approach involves three key pillars:
1) Increase the pace of operations
2) Elevate the standards
3) Relentlessly narrow the focus
By aligning the team around these principles through continuous repetition, everyone becomes crystal clear on the collective goals.
