The high-influencers are in demand to mix the hard discipline and soft influence, instill passion, boost the energy and excitement to encourage creativity and achieve premium performance.
Expert influence: As command and control style of management gradually loses its steam, business leaders and knowledge professionals in the digital era should practice their expert power and make influence via knowledge sharing and insightful persuasion to connect the minds and improve leadership empathy and effectiveness. Nowadays, the borders between knowledge domains are blurred, the interdisciplinary understanding is important to connect wider dots, view the complete business system as an ecosystem with all its dependencies and interconnections.
Now more often the business is inextricably connected with technology, and the functional barriers are starting to weaken. The expert power can make leadership influence more profound and empathetic, corporate leaders or professionals with solid interdisciplinary expertise have the ability to review the past and perceive the future as knowledge permits, have the ability to identify key leverage points in which the non-proportional impact can be made; have the ability to hypothesize interventions and iterate them till the right fit is made; and have the ability to tie all these important things together in order to craft a good strategy and develop actionable plans.
Culture influencer: Culture is collective mindset and behavior. It’s not something that can be dictated and followed such as a new policy or rule from management. Business leaders and professionals play the role of culture influencer who can provide ample room for cultural development, design and advocate an authentic culture. Corporate culture should be a business character and personality; if you can rally an entire organization around ingrained influence or operationalized brand positioning, everyone can apply it each day as part of business performance.
Culture is influenced and shaped by the interaction between employees, management, and their environment. With rapid change, the world or the business ecosystem are converting from the mechanistic paradigm to the innovative paradigm. Not only should business leaders exemplify behavior, but also should they transmit energy to the variety of people, work with the right mindset to create an inclusive organization with every dip in the business lifecycle to catalyze innovation. Cultural value is based on people who can make consistent deliveries of new ideas, have high credibility of what they say and do; demonstrate strong discipline to get the work done resourcefully, and produce higher than expected results in a qualitative or quantitative way.
Governance influencer: Governance is indeed about how well an organization is being run and if set up right - doing the right things, and cannot be completely automated, it is a fundamentally human activity. Organizations across the industry sectors become more complex than ever, the time has come to rethink traditional approaches to governance. Innovative governance influencers are in demand to see the governance as an opportunity rather than constraints; more holistic rather than linear, single-dimensional. They can provide a structured communication bridge between shareholders/investors, lubricate corporate relationships and enhance management disciplines. As corporate governance indicates a relationship with the corporate boards, shareholders, management and stakeholders. If all these parties would perform to the vision and mission of the organization, it would increase the performance significantly.
Effective governance facilitates the successful functioning of an organization while ensuring there are adequate controls in place to operate responsibly in accordance with its vision and value proposition. Corporate governance discipline can fulfill its purpose as a high-level strategy influenced by corporate board, top business leadership team, and cross-boundary governance influencers; strengthening connections between business units, searching for meaningful business relationships, monitoring and observing links and feedback systems to achieve business purposes.
We are more creative and innovative than ever. In the organizational environment, often the rate of change is faster than the management capabilities of companies. The silo mentality and overly controlling are simply not fit for the ever-evolving business dynamic. The high-influencers are in demand to mix the hard discipline and soft influence, instill passion, boost the energy and excitement to encourage creativity and achieve premium performance.
