Business Management Tip #16 – Leadership Deployment

The best strategies are useless without solid execution.

Unfortunately, many business owners fail to stop and consider the critical role of the backend component of deployment and it remains one of the most underutilized decisions a business owner can implement.

==========

What is Leadership Deployment?

One interpretation of leadership is the ability and/or characteristic of an individual to have commanding authority and/or influence and, an interpretation of deployment is to spread out; utilize; and/or strategically arrange.

Thus, Leadership Deployment is having the ability to leverage the strongest leaders of a business against the biggest challenges of the business – in other words, the careful positioning of key leaders.

==========

Why is Leadership Deployment Important?

Deployment releases the dynamic strength of a businesses’ leadership team with the inference that each individual of the leadership team has both Latent and Dynamic strength.

• Latent Strength refers to the optimal strength that each individual is capable of displaying while Dynamic Strength refers to the actual strength that each individual has.

• The inability to effectively deploy leaders can set severe limits on the growth of a business.

• An underpowered leader who is placed in a critical role can severly hinder business operations; make irreparable business decisions; and can potentially create an incredible amount of damage in a relatively short period of time.

Closing Thoughts

Even the strongest Business Owner can have minimal strength if they are hemmed in by weaker team members. Effective deployment provides immediate returns; improves organizational performance; yields synergistic gains by raising the performance capabilities of interoffice functions; and opens up additional opportunities to upgrade the caliber of leadership
