    Area of Science:

    • Business Strategy
    • Organizational Psychology
    • Leadership Studies

    Background:

    • The concept of "blue ocean strategy" was introduced a decade ago to identify uncontested markets.
    • A significant gap exists between employees' potential and their realized talent and energy, with 70% of workers disengaged.
    • Managers often lack clear guidance on how to foster employee engagement and maximize potential.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To apply blue ocean strategy principles to leadership challenges.
    • To provide a systematic approach for identifying leadership actions that inspire employee engagement.
    • To develop a process for implementing these leadership changes across organizations.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing the "blue ocean strategy" framework to analyze leadership effectiveness.
    • Involving managers' direct reports (customers) in identifying effective and ineffective leadership behaviors.
    • Focusing on actionable leadership tasks rather than fundamental changes to leaders' personalities or values.

    Main Results:

    • A systematic approach has been developed to uncover specific leadership actions that inspire employees.
    • The method involves "customers" (direct reports) in assessing leadership effectiveness.
    • The approach facilitates easier implementation and tracking of leadership changes compared to altering mindsets.

    Conclusions:

    • Blue ocean leadership provides a practical framework to close the gap between employee potential and realized engagement.
    • Engaging employees through targeted leadership actions can lead to transformative organizational results.
    • The strategy emphasizes behavioral change in leadership tasks, making it more manageable and measurable.
