Description:
This model originates from the 1999 book by Dave Ulrich under the same name. In it the authors argue that it is not enough to assess leaders by personal traits such as character, style and values. Focusing only on Leadership Attributes is misleading, and effective leaders should be measured against the leadership results they achieve.
For this, the authors have developed what they call a “Leadership Formula”
Effective Leadership = Attributes x Results
They offer four criteria to assess if a Leader is truly focused on Results:
- Balanced — results balance the major dimensions of the organization (employees, organization, customers, investors) ignoring no one;</li>
- Strategic — results link strongly to the strategy of the firm's and its competitive position;
- Lasting — results meet both short- and not sacrifice long-term goals; and
- Selfless — results support the whole enterprise and transcend the manager's personal gain.
