Nikimac supports Corporate, Government, and Entrepreneurial business clients with focused execution by establishing the required elements for the organization to be future-ready to achieve Business Excellence by:

  • Building high-performance cohesive teams 
  • Creating the right organization culture, capacity, and capabilities.
  • Cultivating creative ideas and solutions to gain competitive advantages and increase bottom line.
  • Engaging and executing social innovative programs to drive environmental and social impact.

Nikimac prepares clients with an intentional focus to develop their transformational leadership approach that results in the transformation of the individual, organization, and social system. Transformational leaders cause positive and valuable impact in followers; transforming the followers into leaders.

Leadership is unlocking people’s potential to become better.
— Bill Bradley

 

Authentic transformational leadership:

  • Enhances their followers' performance through inspiration, motivation, and morale
  • Builds high performing cohesive teams that are purpose-driven and committed to achieving the organization mission.  

If you could get all the people in an organization rowing in the same direction, you could dominate any industry, in any market, against any competition, at any time.
— — Patrick Lencioni, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team: A Leadership Fable

 

    What is Business Excellence? 

    “Business Excellence is defined as the ‘Outstanding practices in managing the organisation and achieving results, all based on a set of eight fundamental concepts, these being: results orientation; customer focus; leadership and constancy of purpose; management by processes and facts; people development and involvement; continuous learning, innovation and improvement; partnership development; and public/social responsibility.”
    — European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM)

    Nikimac challenges the status quo of organizations to thrive for an achievement of Business Excellence.  A paradigm shift, but an important aspiration for any organization with a vision to be future-ready and attaining that competitive edge. This radical change and breakthrough:

    • Impacts the organizational culture, social responsibility, and leadership capability
    • Must be driven top-down to gain buy-in and commitment at all levels of the organization hierarchy.
    • Requires the development of Transformational Leaders to lead by example, inspire followers, and influence the change required to collectively achieve the future-state vision.

    What is Transformational Leadership?

    Transformational Leadership is defined as a leadership approach that results in the transformation of the individuals, organizations, and social systems. Transformation leaders cause positive and valuable impact in followers; transforming the followers into leaders. Authentic transformational leadership enhances their followers and their performance through inspiration, motivation, and morale.

    Transformational Leaders inspire and influence their followers, teams, and others to build cohesive high-performance teams, working together to

    • Implement innovative and creative ideas
    • Drive continuous improvement
    • Remain nimble, adaptable and flexible
    • Nurture critical relationships
    • Garner success through partnership to achieve future vision 

    Bass Transformational Leadership Theory emphasizes the importance of leaders to cultivate relationships; gaining the trust, admiration and respect of the people whom they are blessed to lead. Bass outlined three ways for leaders to transform their followers and teams:

    • Provide clear communication to improve the awareness of the organization purpose, the importance and relevance of the project, change or task. 
    • Engage the followers by building trust, understanding, and supporting them at the individual level, their personal and professional goals; inspiring and influencing the followers to align their interest with the organization goals and objectives; ultimately building cohesive high-performance teams.
    • Make the followers higher-order needs happen. 

    Recently, Bass highlighted that genuine and sincere Transformational Leadership is planted and deeply rooted in moral principles. Bass provided four moral foundational elements for Transformational Leadership:

    • Individualized consideration
    • Inspirational motivation
    • Idealized influence
    • Intellectual stimulation

    PURPOSE 

    PURPOSE

    Each of us, as an individual is uniquely created, as a smart and talented masterpiece; with creativity, dominion and authority to lead, build and innovate. When we are motivated, we are set up to be fruitful and multiply our talents, skills, natural aptitudes and gifts. As humans, we are not created to survive this life merely but to thrive, to be the best and fulfill the very purpose of our creation. 

    Eleanor Roosevelt, once said, “The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.

    Very few people or companies can clearly articulate WHY they do WHAT they do. By WHY I mean your purpose, cause or belief - WHY does your company exist? WHY do you get out of bed every morning? And WHY should anyone care?
    — Simon Sinek

    Nikimac leads by example, displaying the attributes of an authentic transformational leader; focuses on nurturing each client individually, building real trust, giving genuine care to cultivate strategic relationships and supporting their needs.


    iDentity

    When people  uncover their purpose, they are empowered to define and identifywho they are, where they find themselves, and what are their aspirations for the future; personally and professionally.  Having a sense of purpose and clear articulation of their identity allows the client, as an individual, to establish goals by maximizing their potential, as well as transforming their self-image, self-value, self-worth in alignment with future expectations. Nikimac works with the client to uncover their individual purpose and develop their leadership identity; engaging them to establish goals and empowering them to achieve these goals.
