Corporate Culture, Values and Leadership

Written by: Balanced Scorecard Institute

“A leader leads by example, whether he intends to or not.” (Author unknown).

This dimension refers to the culture and values inside the organization, and it addresses leaders’ and employees’ shared understanding and agreement with stated values. Most organizations post a values statement with a list of virtuous words. What distinguishes maturity is the degree to which those values are communicated, understood, and practised – by the leader as well as by all employees. Evidence of mature workforce culture and values include:

  1. Thoughtful applications of change management principles and practices by the leadership
  2. The degree of ownership that employees feel for the vision and values of the organization
  3. The degree of participation in shaping the organization’s culture and ways of working
  4. The level of trust, transparency and freedom to communicate with candor, as opposed to a culture of fear and denial
  5. The degree of flexibility and willingness to change to align to new strategic priorities
  6. The level of awareness and consistency of adherence to stated values and policies.

Chess Piece - Leadership

Written by: The Balanced Scorecard Institute

Ken Chenault, CEO of American Express said, “My role is to define reality and to give hope.”

Leaders question assumptions, look at problems in new ways and create and articulate a vision for the future. In the context of strategic management, leadership includes the following traits:

  1. Leaders set a clear and consistent vision or “picture of the future” of the organisation
  2. Leaders are pro-active in preparing the organisation for the future
  3. Leaders are visible and engaged to ensure that staff understand the common vision and can translate it into terms relevant to their roles
  4. Leaders “walk the talk” in exemplifying the values, ethics and policies of the organisation
  5. Leaders don’t micromanage but trust and encourage employees to contribute their ideas and grow in their careers
  6. Leaders “walk around” and work alongside staff to encourage teamwork.

Many employees are now considered “knowledge workers” – they are hired for their thinking skills.  In this environment employees want to know why they are being asked to do their assignments. Hence strategic management leads to increased employee empowerment and less “command and control” management.

This year the overarching conference theme was “Leadership: Courage Required”. The topics of the two panel discussions were:

  1. The Courage to Act: Challenging the Status Quo
  2. Intuition in the Face of Adversity: The Courage to Go With Your Gut

Participating in both panel discussions, Dr. Mungal firstly examined how courage in leadership can enable the process of institutional transformation. In her second presentation, Dr. Mungal dealt with the mechanisms used to challenge gut reactions and facilitate the shift from an embedded negative psychology to a more positive and empowering approach to change.

The international multidisciplinary group of panellists who took a deep dive into uncovering the nature of courageous leadership action also consisted of:

  • Adi Walker, Phd, MSc., B.Tech (Eng), POD International Consulting, Kathmandu, Nepal
  • Shanita Baraka Akintonde,  MBA, M.Ed., DTM, Associate Professor, Communications Department, Columbia College, Chicago
  • Lunthita Duthely, EdD, MS, BS, BA, Assistant Research Professor, UM Miller School of Medicine, Ob/Gyn
