In last week’s blog, I shared a podcast highlighting how CEOs can develop their leadership team members into A-Players by looking in the mirror at their own management style.
The book, 12: The Elements of Great Managing, by Rodd Wagner and James K. Harter, can help. It highlights twelve key management practices that have the greatest impact on employee engagement as shown by increases in several tangible business performance metrics. The book is based on two decades of Gallup surveys, interviews, focus groups and statistical analysis. 12 is a breath of fresh air for business owners, leaders and managers overwhelmed by the wide variety of management models and books they’ve come across. It helps by highlighting what makes the biggest difference. The 12 elements, written from the perspective of the employee, are:
Note that 12 does not hone in on what specific management behaviors or organizational systems to change at a deeper level to strengthen those twelve elements. The twelve elements are those seen and experienced by employees. Less visible dynamics such as leadership team functioning, culture, authenticity and trust underlie them. Yet, I have found 12 to be a helpful tool for leaders and managers I work with. Many management frameworks can either be too high level to be actionable or lose leaders in the weeds with rheams of behaviours and tactics while forgetting the impact leaders need to have on their people in the first place. 12, on the other hand, provides leaders with a relatively small set of clear, tangible practices enabling their people to develop and be more engaged. From there, leaders can clearly identify what they are doing that is helping or getting in the way. By strengthening these 12 practices in yourself, you can also inspire your leadership team members to strengthen how they manage their people, creating a positive impact on employee engagement, productivity and results throughout your company.

Instead, we can ask ourselves “how am I contributing to the situation?”. As the head of a company, our leadership has a huge impact on the people we lead. It can either support or stifle performance. So getting the most out of the leaders on our team requires us to first look in the mirror. Every CEO I’ve worked with has had to take this step at some point to see meaningful improvement in their team and company. In this Gravitas Impact Premium Coaches podcast, my colleague Graham Mitchell in Johannesburg, South Africa, shares two stories of CEOs who built A Player leadership teams by considering how their own leadership style was supporting or hindering their efforts. How can you develop more A-players on your leadership team?
