Dynamic cultural leadership model and the omnibus leadership model

Introduction

The concept of leadership has always been around us, but it’s only recently that we’ve had a way to measure our leaders’ effectiveness. While there are many models of leadership out there, I’ve found two particularly interesting and helpful ones: dynamic cultural leadership model and the omnibus leadership model.

The dynamic cultural leadership model

The dynamic cultural leadership model is a four-stage process that can be used to address any problem. It can be used in the workplace, but it can also be applied to personal life.

The first three stages of this model are:

• Diagnose—identify and define the problem or challenge you are facing; this includes identifying your desired outcomes, understanding why people do what they do and who they are as individuals (i.e., their personalities).

• Determine Options—choose between various options available to solve your problem or challenge; make sure these choices reflect both internal (organizational) and external factors (market forces).

• Implement Solutions—implement those solutions that best meet all criteria listed above so as not only solve your current issue but also create positive change for future challenges that may arise due to these actions taken earlier on during diagnosis phase

Visualise progress

As a leader, it’s important to know where you want to go and plan the route. You have to keep an eye on the road signs so that you don’t get distracted by scenery or other drivers.

Shape a positive outlook

Your attitude is the first thing people notice about you. If you’re positive, optimistic and a good listener, your employees will gravitate toward those traits in their own lives.

When we look at the world around us through a negative lens, it’s easier to become cynical and suspicious—and less likely to be creative or innovative. The challenge is that many leaders have adopted this same mindset when leading their teams as well. In order to lead effectively, leaders need to make sure they’re showing their employees what kind of leader they want them (or him/her) to become: one who embraces change; one who takes risks; one who expects excellence from others; etc..

Encourage commitment

The first step is to encourage commitment. This means that you need to make sure that your team members feel like they’re going to be successful in their work, because without this feeling of confidence and security, it’s very difficult for them to commit fully.

For example: If a leader says “I want my team members committed”, then how does he/she show them this? By making sure everybody understands what needs to be done and how long things will take? Or by giving them clear goals right away so they know where they stand with respect to expectations?

The answer here depends on whether you’re leading an entire organization or just one department within it (or even just one project). In either case though there are some key points worth mentioning so let’s look at each one individually:

Recognise and praise effort

Recognition and praise are powerful motivators. They can help you to reach your goals, but they must be given in a timely manner. If you wait too long to recognise or praise the person, their motivation may wane and they will not perform as well at work as they could have done if recognised earlier on in the process.

In addition, recognition should be specific to the individual receiving it; it shouldn’t be generic (e.g., “Thanks”). Specificity helps reinforce what we’ve been doing right and also how much better things could get if we continue doing so!

Integrate new ideas

• Integrate new ideas into the team’s work.

• Encourage and support new ideas.

• Use new insights to improve processes and systems, not just individuals.

The omnibus leadership model

The omnibus leadership model is a tool that can help you understand how you can be a better leader and learn to develop your own style. It’s based on the work of James MacGregor Burns, who wrote about 10 principles for effective leadership. The model helps you identify what type of leader you are, but it’s not rigid; rather than telling you exactly how to act or behave in every situation, it gives general guidelines for decision-making and problem solving that apply across many situations. You may find this helpful because it gives you an idea of what types of tasks are appropriate for your position or role without making them completely dependent upon others’ opinions or input (which could cause conflict).

Recognising talents and abilities

It is important to recognise the strengths of the people you are leading. This will help you understand what motivates them and how they operate, which in turn enables you to provide opportunities for them to use their talents effectively.

You should also be aware of what motivates your team members. This allows you to create an environment where individuals can flourish, thrive and grow in ways that are relevant for their careers and personal development.

Inspiring a shared vision

A shared vision is a clear, compelling statement of what you want to accomplish as a company. It should be communicated to employees and customers alike, and it should be at least as compelling as your mission statement.

When people understand the significance of your mission, they can make decisions based on their own interests rather than on what’s best for the organization. They’ll also feel like they’re part of something greater than themselves—and this feeling will make them more productive in their jobs because they know where they fit into the larger picture.

Challenging the process

The challenge is to challenge the process. This means challenging the way things are done, not just the people involved. If you want to change something, you should always look at changing both what you’re doing and how it’s done.

Challenging an individual process can be uncomfortable for some people; however, when you do this well it leads to greater results over time because you’ve made changes to how things are done in your organization or team so they work better together as a whole unit of work with less friction between departments or functions within it (e.g., sales vs product development).

Enabling others to act (empowering)

• The leader needs to empower their team.

• The leader needs to be a coach, mentor and facilitator.

• The leader needs to be an excellent communicator.

• The leader should also be an advocate for the organization’s mission, values and vision in order for it to be successful in achieving its goals

Conclusion

This article explains that there are two leadership models: the dynamic cultural model and omnibus model. Both have their strengths but when used properly, they can be a good fit for your organisation.

The dynamic cultural leadership model is more flexible and has a longer-term approach to leadership. It encourages leaders to act as catalysts in their team by sharing ideas, being open minded about new ways of doing things and identifying opportunities for improvement throughout all areas within the organisation from top management down to individual employees. This type of leadership encourages those who follow suit because they know they are part of something bigger than themselves – it provides them with purpose beyond just their own personal goals which leads us back towards happiness within ourselves as well as others around us too!

An important aspect of this type  model is encouraging employees’ personal growth by recognising talents within each individual which will ultimately lead them towards greater success both within themselves but also externally too through cooperation with others rather than competition between workers who may think differently about tasks at hand without any understanding why these differences exist apart from personal experiences during childhood education years ago when teachers would lecture on different subjects depending upon what subject needed covered first before moving onto another related topic while giving no thought whatsoever into how much each student actually understood until later years after graduation so therefore today’s students (Generation Z) learn less facts per minute due tomorrow’s generation do better taking notes then writing essays instead due lack knowledge today due lack access further learning opportunities available online instead
