Leading Leaders: Achieving Organizational Goals Through Others

If you’re a leader to whom other leaders report, you’re in a unique position. Leaders like you are “the central gear” in the organization—tasked with the critical challenge of getting the work done through others. This is generally accomplished through other leaders you lead, and/or by influencing the senior executives to whom you report. It also happens by leveraging your peer leader network inside and outside of the organization.  

You’re also responsible for such “big picture” efforts as helping shape organizational direction and strategies, developing strong networks to move initiatives forward, influencing corporate culture and much more. However, if you can’t get work done effectively through others, virtually all of your accountabilities may be jeopardized.
