Learn how to become a more influential manager with leadership expert Tracey Groves, as she explores the role of vulnerability, empathy, trust, and morality in leadership in this 6-episode series. Groves has been a key advisor and expert facilitator in areas of corporate integrity, organisational change, business conduct and culture, transformational leadership, regulatory risk and compliance, and corporate governance. She is based in the UK and is currently Director at Intelligent Ethics.

If you are a CEO, then leading with compassion, and not just power, will give you a better chance to engage and inspire colleagues.

A CEO can be said to have moral authority when their actions match their words and when a set of principles guides everything they do. That is what allows people to trust them to make the right decisions.

Understand why, increasingly, leaders without moral authority do not have the license to operate and the four pillars that can help you cultivate it.

Leaders can earn moral authority by a) sticking to their purpose, b) speaking up for principles, c) helping others succeed, and d) reflecting and questioning.

Learning the beginner’s mindset is a key asset in an ever-changing world. Developing critical thinking and resilience will help you disrupt the status quo and open pathways to new possibilities.

In an ever-changing world, good executive leadership requires challenging old paradigms, exploring new pathways and continually asking 'Why'.

Ethical lapses such as fraud, environmental disasters or sexual indiscretions are more likely to cause a CEO exit than financial metrics, these days.

With the rise of social media and peer-to-peer communications, CEO integrity is in the spotlight, and they are fired more often for ethical lapses than performance.

Why must chief execs align their words with action?  Research shows a direct correlation between the behavioral integrity of leaders and the financial performance of the companies they lead.

It's important that a CEO's actions and words align because their behavioral integrity is tied to business performance and reputation.

Too much empathy by a leader can have potential downsides. Learn how to balance empathy, compassion and kindness with due diligence.

While empathy is a critical aspect of leadership, when and how much you use it is equally important. Learn to balance compassion with due diligence.

Don't be afraid to show vulnerability as a leader — it is not a weakness but a strength. The shift from know-it-all to learn-it all leaders will create opportunities for growth and a culture of innovation in companies.

Vulnerability As A Powerful Leadership Tool

The show of vulnerability and humility by a leader can foster a culture of innovation and inclusivity, and deepen trust in their organization.

Trust is the powerful hidden asset of chief execs. It is both complex and fragile, built on competence and ethics, and ultimately, based on what the leader says and does.

Employee trust gives leaders agency to plan, execute and navigate difficult situations., and it grows when leaders' behaviors match their words.

Wouldn't it be great to have the roadmap to glory? Stephen Covey's 7 Habits of Successful People sets you on the right track. By adopting these habits, you can build up character ethics that are common to people who achieve what they want in life.

7 Habits Of Highly Effective People By Stephen Covey

Stephen Covey uses the Maturity Continuum to offer his ideas on success. Your chances multiply when you build a strong foundation marked by a sound character ethic, as opposed to a personality ethic based on outward traits. That is the hallmark of success.

To inculcate a habit, you need to know what goes into building one. Being proactive is the first routine to develop, says Stephen Covey. Learn about the Circle of Concern that you have no control over and the Circle of Influence that is under your power.

Habit 1: Successful people make a habit of focusing attention on the things they can influence, rather than what they can't. You may not be able to control a situation, but you can control your reaction and how you deal with it.

Visualize how you want others to perceive you. With that goal in mind, work towards building a character that matches your vision. The second habit tells you to reflect on the consequences before acting and move with that result in sight.

Habit 2: Picture the future you want then plan and work towards it. Live every day as a contribution towards that vision.

Prioritize! This one word sums up the third habit of successful people. Think of one positive change that you would like to effect in each - your personal and professional life. This four-step matrix will light your way.

Habit 3: Consider your single most important personal and professional priorities. Your other priorities should stem from these; organize and execute around them.

Opt for the win-win paradigm as a fourth habit. There are five points to embrace before you set out. From dependence to independence and finally, to interdependence, the journey is well-mapped in this episode.

Habit 4: At its core, a win-win approach is based on trust, an agreed-upon set of outcomes, and acceptance of those outcomes. Ultimately, everyone involved should benefit from the outcome.

Listening well with the intention of understanding is the first step to grasping the fifth habit. Very few pay attention when others speak and that is why developing Empathetic Listening is so crucial. It also makes the other person as interested in your views.

Habit 5: Seek First To Understand, Then To Be Understood

Habit 5: Active listening is critical to productive relations. If you listen with the intent to understand, you will engender openness and trust and this will lead to a better outcome.

Stephen Covey's sixth habit is all about synergy. He explains how to achieve this creative process, with four keys, as you interact with a diverse group to create a whole.

Habit 6: Synergy involves balancing individual differences to create new paradigms of thought and action. Experts working together yield better results than the same experts working independently.

Find time to hone your skills and get the tools ready, that's the crux of the seventh habit you need to imbibe on the road to success. Set the four dimensions of renewal in motion and you are bound to see sustainable changes in your moral makeup.

Habit 7: Your habits will be most effective if you take time for self-care and renewal. As you work on each habit, your experience with these habits will then deepen.

Management guru Peter Drucker's Harvard Business Review article turned into a classic handbook -- as relevant for leaders and managers today -- as it is for any performance-conscious worker. This series guides you to steadily climb the success ladder, professionally as well as in your personal life. Keep watching!

The secret to effectively manage your career -- and your life -- lies in truly understanding yourself, says Peter Drucker, also known as the Father of Management. Stay tuned to find out how you can become the CEO of your career.

Knowing what you excel at and honing these skills to perform better can be a fulfilling purpose. Learn how to use the Feedback Analysis tool to assess your strengths and weaknesses -- to become the best version of yourself.

Know Your Strengths Through Feedback Analysis

You can only build performance on strengths, not weaknesses. To understand your strengths, keep a record of actions and outcomes, comparing results over a period of time.

Recognizing your weaknesses helps you steer clear of these inhibiting areas and play to your strengths instead. There are five moves to make after the feedback analysis. What are they? Watch and learn.

Build On Strengths, Stay Clear Of Weaknesses

Focus on building strengths, not fixing your weaknesses. Practice humility and maintain a positive, open approach toward others.

Our personality defines our style of functioning. So even though you might understand what you need to do to enhance your performance, you might be confused about how to do it. Drucker wants you to ask yourself a few questions first.

Understand Your Personality To Maximize Performance

Understand your unique process of getting things done. Ask yourself if you prefer to solve problems quietly or with others, or whether you prefer loose versus structured discussion.

Values make the person you are. You cannot perform at your optimum best if your values conflict with your role. So do you like the personality you see in the mirror after you wake up?

Recognize Your Values To Know Where You Belong

Your own values and beliefs will determine whether you're a fit for your organization. Ask value-related questions about the results your organization wants, its hiring practices, and how it measures progress.

Don't waste time in mulling what you can work on, advises Peter Drucker, think about what your greatest contribution can be instead. A little tip: Let honesty guide you.

In figuring out what career to pursue, ask yourself what contribution you want to make. Answer this question based on your strengths, personality, values and desired outcomes.

After looking inwards, it is time to look around us at our relationships with others. Personality conflicts, values, trust... all stem from good, or bad, relations. It's important to understand what clicks and what ticks off your counterparts. Why? This video has the answers.

Take Responsibility For Your Relationships

Managing relationships means taking responsibility for your communication. Tailor your communications to match the styles of the people you work with.

What is the equivalent of a mid-life crisis at the workplace? And what can you do if it catches you unaware? Peter Drucker offers three solutions for a second inning.

Careers often stagnate mid-life and yet continuing to contribute can be vitally important to your sense of wellbeing. In this phase, consider adjusting your work to build new skills and tackle new challenges.
