Hello all.
I come back this week with a plan to share 2 messages ka. This one is drawn from vdo clips about a book by McKinsey and company entitled, 'CEO Excellence: The Six Mindsets That Distinguish the Best Leaders from the Rest' written by Carolyn Dewar, Scott Keller, Vikram Malhot from interviewing 67 CEOs in-depth. These CEOs include Jamie Dimon (JPMorgan Chase), Satya Nadella (Microsoft), Reed Hastings (Netflix), Kazuo Hirai (Sony), Ken Chenault (American Express), Mary Barra (GM), and Peter Brabeck-Letmathe (Nestlé).ka.
Here are what they share on the clips, which are a short and simple summary ka....after watching it, it urges me to think of buying a copy na ka...even though I'm now trying to manage my กองดอง (pile of books and magazines) kaaa!
The 6 mindsets are:
1. Be bold: not just to set directions, but to see how to make the organization better, faster, or different.
Our MHESI and universities plus their stakeholders need to focus on well-thought out strategic directions together and to be bold to make them work, not simply 'flavor of the month' to make sure of the impacts and sustainability ka.
2. Align the organization: by treating soft stuff the way we treat hard stuff even when soft issues like culture, talent, and organizational design are hard to be measured.
Wonder how many senior leaders think about the soft stuff to join hands with their team and act na ka....it takes time, energy, wisdom and most important of all, sincere commitment to making it work ka.
3. Lead through leaders means managing the psychology of the team to keep them in sync with the organizational directions to feel hungry to team up.
Hope senior leaders enhance teamwork by setting a good example for others to follow, not just giving order and monitor mai ka?
4. Engage (not to manage) the Board: leverage on their expertise through trust and transparency, call them not to update on things but to ask for help since most Board Members would be more than willing to help.
Thinking of many boards/councils in our higher education community loei ka.....selection of members for the growth of university/ministry, not for the growing empire of the CEO?!?!
5.Connect with stakeholders: keep asking why we exist for what purpose before deciding who of the stakeholders to meet and for what ...in any case, the efforts should bring the stakeholders to share common purpose and be on the same side of the table.
Looking at the whole ecosystem, we see even more stakeholders, it's a must to 'start with why' from our end before moving on jing jing ka.
6. Be your most effective: this means CEOs do what can add value by doing what only they can do like making some key decisions, driving people, etc. Several things they should also do include management of their time and energy as well as pondering on 'To-be (CEO) list', not just 'To-do list', and being good listeners.
Love 'To-be list' for our senior leaders to reflect often about them and how they can be better to gear their organizations!
While I'm digesting the information to share with you, I think of a few implications that are really useful for our ministry and university leaders to review and improve. Wish we had some research studies about our CEO mindsets too ka.
