How do you Lead? Macro-Leadership vs Micro-Leadership
Macro-Leadership vs Micro-Leadership
Macro-leadership and micro-leadership are different levels of focus. The macro-level is more about vision, strategy and future planning (Big Picture) whereas the micro-level is more about management of an organization's day-to-day activities (Tasks).
Here are some insights we’ve learned to help you mobilize a winning culture of innovators and achievers. You know your culture so you will need to decide what management style allows your culture to be inspired. Let’s have a quick look on how we know can position you as leaders to get your company (employees) to achieve the impossible.
Here are two Levels of Leadership - "Big Picture" and "Task"
In todays culture, leaders set direction that others follow at two levels: "big picture" - the macro-level, and "task" - the micro-level.
Macro-level: Leaders enact transformational change in either the external or internal environment of the enterprise, or both.
Micro level: Leaders build transactional relationships with member of a team or an individual contributor for accomplishing specific tasks.
Through both roles, the potential exists for new leaders to emerge.
Key Take Away: Macro-leadership is strategic in nature because it affects the position and posture of the enterprise as a whole, and influences groups of its constituents. However, the leader must perform in the micro leadership role also, even as a leader of leaders, because transformational change can only be achieved through task accomplishment.
Key Take Away: Micro leadership is tactical in nature because it addresses the behavior of a follower and their tasks. However, as the follower develops experience, they are equipped to assume more responsibility.
