First there was the autocrat, then the bureaucrat, and most recently there has been a lot of talk about the visionary or transformational leader. Now, with the massive turbulence in today’s society and organizations, we’re seeing the emergence of a new leadership style to navigate today’s complexity.

It requires time and work to build buy-in and commitment to change. In this week’s Leadership180.Net, Ravi Tangri introduces Chrysalis’ ‘Go-No-Go’ framework for building buy-in and commitment to change. L180-100413-How to Sell Change from Ravi Tangri on Vimeo.

How do you allow each person to be heard and yet craft a strategy to move forward in a reasonably timely fashion. Traditional engagement methods fall short, but there is a process that allows every voice to be heard and that enables groups of tens, hundreds or even thousands of people to swiftly tap their collective wisdom and collective find a way forward. This process is the World Cafe. L180-100406-What is the World Cafe? from Ravi Tangri on Vimeo. Leadership at the Ritz-CarltonTuesday, March 30th, 2010The service culture at Ritz-Carlton is outstanding, and, as outlined in the book ‘The New Gold Standard‘, it is driven by their 5 principles of leadership. While delivering a leadership program at the Ritz Carlton in Doha I had the opportunity to interview Avinash Menon, the Director of Human Resources to dive deeper into how their leadership shapes their service culture.

Simply put, the analysis and design work stop short and ignore the major barriers to change. In this clip from a presentation, Ravi Tangri introduces you to Chrysalis’ Solutions Model (TM), a simple framework that expands traditional strategic analysis and planning to ramp up your odds for succeeding in your change project.

Perhaps not for when the leader is there, but rather when (s)he isn’t there. Is the vision and purpose of the organization embedded throughout the culture or is the work and the service delivery sporadic and inconsistent. On a recent trip to Qatar, I met Stephen Kennedy who raved about a recent vacation experience in Malaysia – he couldn’t tell enough people how wonderful it was. And although he never met the manager, he absolutely knew what the manager’s values and priorities were, because they infused the culture of the resort. His leadership came alive in every experience at the resort.
