Leadership Strategies for Business Success
Unfortunately, many small business owners, entrepreneurs and executives due to poor communication and no strategic plan create expensive silo solutions that actually diminish the energy and ability to achieve organizational goals. In the book Fail-Safe Leadership by Linda Martin and Dr. David Mutchler, the authors address some of the change management challenges every organization faces on a daily basis regardless of size through a simple leadership audit. This audit or organizational survey allows the decision-makers to begin that separation of symptoms from problems and recognizes that these issues are due to leadership issues within the organization.
The good news is that you can construct your own survey. First, identify the basic general shareholders within any organization. These may be separated as follows: Place these as separate columns across the sheet of paper leaving the far left column for the common management change issues.

Quickly, you will see where you need to plan and execute aligned solutions. For example, if the accountability change issue is only being experienced by the customer service employees then a solution focusing only on this group of shareholders makes sense. However, if at least two or more of the shareholders are experiencing accountability issues, then the solution must address all involved if the organization truly desires to reach the desired end results. By recognizing up front that the solution must meet all the involved shareholders prevents the common silo-solution that appears to breed additional silo solutions. Organizations must have aligned and coordinated efforts. Silo solutions are just the opposite.
Why this audit is called a leadership audit is because leadership must be the vehicle that drives the change in the organization. Hence, it is leadership's responsibility to conduct the audit. Usually after conducting this simple assessment, the executive leadership team may determine that a full organizational assessment is required. Implementing such an assessment should be P.S.
