Inspire and Enable: From 3E to 5E Onboarding

Procter & Gamble recently switched from driving 3E leadership to 5E leadership.  At a very high level, 3E leadership is Envision, Engage and Execute.  5E adds Energize/Inspire and Enable to the mix to get to:

  • ENVISION:  Create the future
  • ENGAGE:  Build relationships & Collaboration
  • ENERGIZE:  Inspire others
  • ENABLE:  Build capability
  • EXECUTE:  Deliver outstanding results

My own definition of leadership has been evolving to:

Inspire and enable others to do their absolute best, together, to realize a meaningful and rewarding shared purpose.

This is true for leadership and for onboarding.  It is certainly necessary to envision, engage and execute.  But it is not enough.  The degree to which new employees are inspired and enabled can be the difference between their complying with what is asked of them and their proactively doing whatever it takes to achieve their mission and vision.

We know the importance of inspiring a new team is central to our executive onboarding services. If your organization is in a critical transition and exploring Executive Onboarding, Team Onboarding, or a strategic restart, please feel free to get in touch to determine if we can help.
