- How to be a leader in a diverse climate
- Why a mission statement is important in leadership
Military vs. Civilian Leadership:
In the military, things are very rigid and very cut and dry. Of the various styles of leadership, a directive is more appropriate in a military concept because of the danger to life or property. Transitioning into the private sector, that is not necessarily the case.
Leading Diversity:
One of the challenges that everyone faces in leadership today is navigating diversity. The workforce today is the most diverse that it’s ever been. You have very different types of people that come from different backgrounds in terms of generation, disabled or abled status, veteran status, race, religion, personal creed, etc.
The Importance of a Mission Statement:
It’s so important for employees to understand the mission statement of the company that they work for. The vision is how the mission statement comes to fruition, and excellence is the motto that is associated with that. It’s crucial that employees understand the mission because then they can better contribute to it and help improve the quality of the product or service.
