"The task of leadership is to create an alignment of strengths so strong that it makes the system's weaknesses irrelevant."-Peter Drucker.
What follows is an experience that forever changed my understanding of this quote.
Consider the circumstances: It's the last year of a diamond mine's life. It's in a remote location. There are cashflow problems. Local workers are seen as unskilled, and ex-pats and consultants are finding it difficult to get on-site. It sounds like a recipe for disaster, right?
Yet, this mine turned things around dramatically within a few months. Productivity soared, profitability returned, and the mine's lifespan extended by 20 years.
How? It wasn't complex technology or expensive consultants. It was a simple shift in leadership focus and implementing a platform that unlocked the hidden potential within their workforce.
