In 2001, Ram Charan, Stephen Drotter and James Noel wrote and published a book called The Leadership Pipeline . In this book they explain that there are different levels of leadership within an organization and that distinctly different skills are required at each level in order to be successful. In fact, if a person is promoted to a new level of the pipeline and tries to use the same operating procedures and skills that made them successful at the previous level, they will undoubtedly fail in their endeavors. The levels are listed below for your reference.
Level 1 - Manage Self - At the start of each persons career there is a period of time where the only management or leadership required is over your own performance.
Level 2 - Manage Others - As your career advances, you will become responsible for managing other people.
Level 3 - Manage Managers - This level deals with the management of managers.
Level 4 - Functional Manager - This level of leadership deals with managing a functional area of a business.
Level 5 - Business Manager - This level deals with the management of a complete business or business unit.
Level 6 - Group Manager - This is where a person becomes responsible for multiple divisions or businesses within a company.
Level 7 - Enterprise Manager - This is the top level where a person is now responsible for the entire organization of businesses or the entire enterprise.
Although each level requires a different set of tools, operating procedures and skills it is extremely important to ensure that you continue to work within your Strength Zone at each level. Use your unique set of strengths to master these tools, operating procedures and skills. Don't approach each level the same way but step back and assess what is required for success and how you can best leverage your Strength Zone to be successful. If you have some areas of weakness that need to be bolstered, look for help from someone that has strength in these areas.
Don't clog the Leadership Pipeline. Be strategic as you encounter each level of the pipeline, always leveraging your Strength Zone and you will "flow through" the leadership pipeline moving yourself and your organization to success.
