Organizations keep saying they want good leaders, but they don’t. They want great leaders.

Best-selling author Joe Folkman, Ph.D., says the difference between good and great leaders is huge:

  • Research has shown that 33 percent of direct reports of good leaders are thinking about quitting. Great leaders only have 6 percent.
  • In a mortgage bank study, good leaders brought in $2.4 million in business; great leaders made $4.5 million.
  • In terms of engagement, good leaders had direct reports in the 50th percentile; great leaders had direct reports in the 80th percentile in terms of their engagement.
  • When it comes to discretionary effort – the willingness to give more and do more – good leaders had 29 percent of direct reports who are willing to make extra effort; great leaders have 78 percent.

How does a leader move from good to great?

You must gain an accurate sense of how effective you are – what are your strengths and where do you not perform as well.

Zenger Folkman  research has shown that if a leader has just three strengths, their effectiveness was at the 81% percentile and if they do five things well, their effectiveness was at the 90th percentile.

The Leadership Consortium offers The Extraordinary Leader™ workshops  where you’ll receive a precise assessment of how effective you are along with tools for further developing your leadership characteristics.  We found that if you can be exceptional at a few critical things, you can be a great leader.
