10. Leaders hitting
individual targets
isn’t enough.

11. At CEB, we’ve identified
a new model for leader
success, where the most
impactful leaders are
those who:
Achieve strong
performance by
reaching their goals
and leading their teams
to do the same…

12. …and also
Show great
networked leadership
outcomes—building
bridges with
other leaders and
teams to share
resources and best
practices to improve
results across the
organization

13. We call them
enterprise leaders.

14. Enterprise leaders drive:
1 Leader Task Performance: Achieve their
own individual tasks and objectives
2 Leader Network Performance: Improve others’ performance
and use others’ contribution to improve their own performance
3 Team Task Performance: Lead their teams to achieve their
collective tasks and assignments within the team
4 Team Network Performance: Lead their teams to be network
performers outside of the immediate team

collective tasks and assignments within the team

18. The benefits of this new approach are clear.
Teams with enterprise leaders have:
12% higher revenue
20% higher customer satisfaction
23% higher innovation
30% higher engagement

19. However, these leaders
are few and far between—
barely 1 in 10 leaders are
true enterprise leaders.

20. So how do you know
who the enterprise
leaders are in your
organization?

21. Objective assessment
gives you a snapshot
of your leadership team—
both individually and
looking across functions
and business units.

22. Assess leaders on their ability to:
1 Leverage and support the work of other
leaders in the organization.
2 Enable teams to leverage and contribute
to other teams across the organization.

23. Using objective assessment
also enables you to benchmark
your leaders against others in
your region or industry.

24. And how can you support
the development of this
new leadership mind-set
and approach?

25. 1 Invest in learning programs to build
leaders’ ability to model and enable
this new approach.
2 Incorporate networked leadership into
your competency models.
3 Create team climates that
support network performance.
