You, as a manager, hold the responsibility for both the welfare and productivity of your employees, which is why you are the one that is held accountable in the face of workplace difficulties.<\/h2>\n

Poor management is often blamed for an unsatisfactory bottom line, high employee turnover, low well-being and poor performance. Although most managers aim to perform well as leaders, some fall short each day. However, the question remains: what constitutes a good leader, and what defines good leadership?<\/p>\n

At People & Performance, we would rather discuss effective leadership<\/a> than good leadership. And we believe that the recipe for good leadership consists of several ingredients.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Good leadership is about behaviour<\/h2>\n

\u2018Good leadership\u2019 is a frequently used \u2013 and misused \u2013 term, and the challenge is that the definition can be a little vague. In fact, at People & Performance, we would rather refrain from talking about good and bad leadership. We want to talk about behaviour. Behaviour that increases employee engagement and impacts business performance<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Good management always depends on the context. When leaders are blamed for challenges in the workplace, it is often because they fail to lead in a way that fits the context in which they operate. Therefore, a good leader can be expanded beyond general competencies.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Good leadership is effective leadership<\/h2>\n

Effective leadership is leadership in which the leader acts in a way that is appropriate to the context. Therefore, one must have a flexible model of an effective leader. Instead, the leader will have different colours and shapes depending on the context. However, we can define four categories of behaviour that the effective leader must be able to bring into play.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
