PEOPLE, POLITICS, & PERSPECTIVE: THE POWER OF THE UNWRITTEN CONTRACT

Whether you are a first time manager or a seasoned executive, you should be aware that if the people who work for you buy into your vision  and trust you as a leader, you will get the support you need to accomplish your goals.  The foundation of this relationship is a set of assumed rules.  This “unwritten contract” is about clear expectations, defined responsibilities, and mutual respect.

With a workforce grappling with generational issues, this implied contract has become even more important to the success of today’s leaders. As we gradually move into a more horizontal corporate structure, the ability of managers to deal with keeping staffs productive and loyal becomes even more complicated.

To be successful, it is essential that leaders determine their management style, learn to keep power in perspective, and understand how to effectively navigate organizational politics.
