What Does Managerial Leadership Look Like? A Requisite Approach
By Michelle Malay Carter on July 2, 2008
Elliott Jaques’ Requisite Organization model does a great job of defining a set managerial leadership behaviors which, within a Requisite Organization leadership framework,?would become explicit accountabilities of all managers.?
- Two way managerial teamworking
- Context setting
- Planning
- Task assignment
- Personal effectiveness appraisal of direct reports
- Merit review
- Coaching
- Selection and induction
- Deselection and dismissal
- Continuous improvement
Simple?? Yes.? Practiced?? Maybe
These practices are simple on their face, but remember, systems drive behavior.? Therefore, an organization’s leadership system (or lack thereof) has a huge influence upon whether these behaviors can occur and do occur.
I’m OK.? You’re OK.? Let’s fix the system.
Does your manager carry out these practices?? Do you?? Does your leadership system specify and reinforce these behaviors?
