When a leader inspires performance in others, they facilitate optimal outcomes in a variety of situations. A leader who inspires their team will encourage better problem solving, and they’ll both recognize and support the work of those around them.

Listen as Debbie Muno and Bill Banham discuss why leaders who inspire those around them — rather than simply managing performance using key performance indicators (KPIs) — will help to empower their teams to perform above and beyond what’s expected. 

Inspiring performance is an important part of being an effective leader because:

• Leadership is fundamentally about facilitating the performance of others
• Managing performance with rules and key performance indicators usually produces an “expected” result, rather than an “unexpected” high performance result
• Team members learn more and develop their capacities best when they’re inspired, which means an inspiring leader can spur continuous improvement from year to year
