Systemic leadership via core value deployment

Abstract

Systemic leadership deploys leadership responsibilities and privileges across an organisation’s human resource. Business and performance excellence models limit leadership to senior executives, regarding it as competence based. Leadership legacy across history, however, is chiseled with such core values as courage, wisdom, sacrifice, stewardship and servanthood. Supporting corporate nihilism, business and performance excellence models ignore such values. Presented herein is a balance restoring the leadership core value set. Deployment through the reward and recognition system and assessment of leadership pervasiveness are briefly discussed.
