"Align with the Leader for guaranteed success"
"Do What He Wants, Listen to What she Says and it's a pathway to sure success"
These are some of the cliched beliefs you may find in organizations or some parts within organizations. If these are fueled by actions on the ground the culture of that organization will be at risk. Short term success might come by but overall there is bound to be poor sustenance of performance in teams where such beliefs abound.Reality is that "Performance Delivered for Success" is what every organization wants and pursue and often you find themes that the organizations drive would probably include campaigns around "Give Wings to Your Dreams", "Realize Your Potential" , "You Can If You Wish" , "Discover the Diamond in You" etc.
The common belief among line managers and HR fraternity is that achieving this objective is a self driven phenomenon. All one needs to do is to reflect, understand what he or she can do / cannot do and work deliberately towards that and he / she can achieve much much more than what was possibly thought he / she could achieve. Also, maybe put them in front of some achievers who have "been there, done that" types and there will be some kind of osmosis of inspiration from the speakers to the listeners.
Fact of the matter is that in order to enable employees achieve beyond what they think they can.... or for them to realize their potential we need a whole lot of inspiration coming from the managers and leaders in organizations. Control freaks who are there to stifle creativity and show their teams how to align with them (the manager) are doing very little to create that environment.
What may be good is to work towards showing the team how to align with the mission of the company and drive excellence in the delivery of the services or product offered, helping overcome obstacles that impede the successful execution of organizations goals, working along side with the employees to solve problems, enabling a coaching culture where focus is on helping the employee realize a pathway to a different performance plane, mentoring them in areas of expertise of work being pursued.....only these deliberate actions by leaders and managers can lead to a enriching and motivating environment that can truly free the mind towards achieving beyond what was thought "possible".
So the need for managers is to inspire the teams to align with the organization, to inspire them to see how their job is contributing to success, to inspire them to understand how their job / work is relevant to customers needs, to inspire them to go beyond and connect the dots and to enable them to work without fear.....only then we can really set an environment where everyone can realize his or her potential.
