Week #4 Diamond Leader Follow-Up Program: 4Cs
To polish the raw “diamond” manager into a brilliant diamond leader, you need the 4Cs of a Polished Diamond Leader.
I use the analogy of the 4Cs of a diamond as the 4 criteria of leadership:
Color:
Color is about developing your character, personal style, and self confidence.
Clarity:
Clarity is about giving clear directions, expressing a clear vision of the company’s purpose (vision, mission, and values), encouraging transparency in your policies and strategies, and instilling a sense of curiosity like that of the Generation Y and Z.
Carat:
Carat is about having the courage to be heavyweight in handling tough situations and high level clients, and thinking like a senior management.
Cut: Cut is about polishing the raw diamond through lifelong learning and personal effectiveness.
