my dishes in the sink
싱크대에 그릇을 쌓아 놓고
and more like days,
쌓아 둔다더군요.
I don't finish the job
that it's peaking over the lip of the sink
제 내면의 깔끔쟁이가 참지 못할 때까지
when I was in college,
대학생 때 생겼고
더 쌓는 게 뭐 어때서?"
I can save time and water
"나중에 한꺼번에 하면
because nobody was calling me on it.
아무도 제게 뭐라 하지 않았으니까요.
I didn't put a dish in the dishwasher
to question why I was doing it.
certified dirty-dish leaver,
설거짓거리를 쌓아 두는 사람으로서
on leadership transformation
시대에 따른 리더십 변화에 대한
with the most senior leaders
better suited for the future.
경영 습관을 만드는 거죠.
than senior leaders these days
더 관심이 가는 것은
of future talent for the C-suite,
능력이 있는 사람들이고
their dishes in the sink.
생기기 시작했으니까요.
are hiring people like me
leaders for the future,
are forming right before our eyes
중간 관리자들에게는
who will one day take their place.
형성되고 있습니다.
and senior leaders to work together,
중간 관리자와 고위 경영진들이
on their future leaders
trust and cooperation than they do today.
협력하는 모습을 보여 주길 기대합니다.
in the formative middle-manager years
이런 리더십의 틀을 마련할
for that kind of leadership,
are learning from senior role models
준비가 안된 경영진들에게서
that made them so successful.
시스템이 바뀌지도 않았거든요.
and senior leaders to work together
함께 일하며
to rise to the occasion.
서로가 성장해야 합니다.
old-fashioned in leadership today.
전형적인 분이죠.
individual performance.
Jane got the job done,
for things that's aren't mission-critical,
시간을 많이 들이지 않으며
anyone's judgment more than her own.
믿지 않죠.
Jane's in behavior boot camp.
말할 필요도 없고요.
with where her organization is heading.
that she was once rewarded for
지휘 통제 방식은
digitally interconnected organization.
전혀 통하지 않는 거죠.
manager who works for Jane,
재능 있고 유망한 관리자 존입니다.
영향을 받고 있었죠.
in front of the CEO, Jane's boss,
결정 사안에 대한 전략을 짜고 있었습니다.
you're not going to like this,
"리즈, 당신은 탐탁지 않겠지만
get made around here
before the meeting."
회의를 거쳐야 해요."
eight one-on-ones, exec by exec,
was individually on board enough
in the actual meeting.
확실히 해 두어야 했습니다.
we'll do things in the future,
해야 하는지가 아니라
are a necessary evil
본 회의에 앞선 회의는
to be inefficient and annoying,
비효율적이고 귀찮기도 하지만
was his confidence
앞으로 어떻게 할 것인지가
they'll do things in the future.
if it wasn't him and now?
지금이 아니면 언제 바꿀 수 있을까요?
effective meetings without pre-meetings?
어떻게 해야 할지 알고는 있었을까요?
that when he's the boss,
and do things differently,
stacking in the sink
사람만 보였죠.
out of a job one day
될 수도 있다는 거예요.
high-potential managers like John
the most capable of making waves
lead from the inside.
일으킬 수 있을텐데 말이죠.
doing the best job at not rocking the boat
현 체제에 도전하지 않고
who will promote them.
남기고 싶기 때문이죠.
to change their behavior
to do things differently,
과신하기도 합니다.
from working with Jane,
possibly do anything differently
위태롭게 하지 않으면서
high-pressure executive job
스트레스 많은 중역 자리에서
and the organization's,
생각하게 될 것입니다.
so safe and so easy
the way they've always been done.
후회할 겁니다.
expert in me asks:
이렇게 생각하죠.
in the formative years
직급의 사람들이 발전할 시기에
and his peers want to take charge
완벽하게 이끌 준비를 하면서
the organizations of the future,
succumb to the catch-22
to lead the organizations of the past?
어떻게 이용할 수 있을까?
with a very real paradox,
받아들여야 할 것입니다.
happens on the job --
교실에서도, 온라인상에서도 아닌
to shape on-the-job learning
boot camp right now,
중요시하고 있고
are undergoing unprecedented disruption.
혼란을 겪고 있습니다.
just about everything
and rewarding behavior
바탕으로 행동을 판단하고
시간이 걸리기 때문이죠.
or the system right now,
전적으로 기댈 수 없는 상황이라면
this critical development window.
존에게 달려 있어요.
because the risks are actually his.
책임도 존에게 있는 거죠.
an organization that is failing
old-fashioned leadership,
the capabilities to lead one
while he was playing it safe.
where does John start?
시작해야 할까요?
to start flying the plane.
비행기 조종하는 것부터 시작하겠어요.
my grandpa, a former Navy pilot,
해군 전투기 조종사였던 할아버지께서
to fly a very small plane.
조종할 수 있도록 해주셨어요.
folded his hands,
팔짱을 낀 채
on-the-job learning with a safety net.
현장에서 직접 배우는 기회였죠.
every meeting to be led,
use the learning experience
갖고자 하는 사람에게는
how to do it their own way.
John needs to knock on Jane's door,
제인에게 도움을 요청해서
본 회의를 열도록
without the eight pre-meetings,
through the trade-offs
자신의 생각을 제인에게 전하고
to do it differently.
지지를 부탁해야죠.
of room to try his hand at leading,
그에게 기회를 주어야 하며
leading in some ways
자신에게 맞는 방법으로
for Jane to learn a thing or two
자신의 리더십을 한 단계 올릴
to the next level.
who summed up this dilemma beautifully
또 다른 고위직 고객이 계신데요.
about why he and his peers
with more decision rights.
이야기를 나누던 중
because we just don't trust
the right decisions.
decisions to practice with."
전혀 주지 않았어요."
hands over the controls
지켜보기만 해야 한다고
learning and practice
배우고 연습하는 과정을
than she does it.
없을 것입니다.
both of them outside their comfort zones,
넘어서도록 해야 하기 때문에
of the blind leading the blind.
만들지 말아야 합니다.
to individually be more effective,
the interactions between them?
코치한다면 어떨까요?
in the occasional team meeting
on how well they cooperated that day.
feedback session between Jane and John,
주기적인 피드백 기간을 갖고
coaches on communication,
can go better in the future.
what Jane would have done?
그저 강화하기만 할까요?
for the organization?
진정 도울 수 있을까요?
mentorship to provide,
정말 어렵고
need help doing it,
도움이 필요하죠.
coaching more leaders,
그만큼 더 필요한 겁니다.
Warren Buffet gave a school lecture
한 강의에서 이렇게 말했죠.
of habit are too light to be felt
with our future leaders in training.
to build their leadership capabilities
완전히 빠지지 않았고
of bad habits we totally saw coming?
어떻게 해야 할까요?
and I called each other out back then
설거지 하라고 서로 얘기해 줬더라면
to nip that habit in the bud
초기에 고치는 게
full of gleaming sinks
반짝이는 싱크대를 보게 될 거라고
ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Elizabeth Lyle - Leadership development expertBCG's Elizabeth Lyle challenges top leaders to create high-performance, future-ready organizational cultures.
Why you should listen
In the midst of transformations, Elizabeth Lyle challenges top leaders and their teams to double-down on creating high performance, future-ready organizational cultures -- and to start by evolving their own day-to-day leadership behaviors, which sit at the core of how organizations work (and whether or not they can successfully transform).
Lyle has helped the leaders of some of the oldest, largest and most complex organizations in the world to think differently about their most valuable asset: people and their talents. She has pioneered approaches that enable leaders to change how they connect with, invest in, grow and deploy that all-important asset to unlock strategic advantage and competitive potential.
Lyle is a partner and managing director of The Boston Consulting Group, based in the firm's Boston office. She is a founding member of BCG's Leadership & Talent Enablement Center in North America. She holds an MBA from Harvard Business School and a BS with Distinction from the University of Virginia's McIntire School of Commerce.
