Severe turbulence is the „new normal“ of today’s business conditions; equally presenting opportunities and challenges. Organizations have to flex dramatically to adapt to these new and fluid market environments, and their leaders need to pave the way by demonstrating an ability to adapt themselves. The coming years will see leaders face even more challenges at a cognitive, emotional and behavioral level.
Time has come to refine what leadership excellence means. In today’s world, it is more than a batch of principles; it’s a set of values and beliefs, ways of thinking, a matter of discipline, and ways of focusing.
Who you are as a leader matters. In every moment leaders can choose who they want to be, and how they want to appear. Their authentic identity changes in response to the impact of their experiences. It is like a dance to engage with who they thought they were, and who they are now in the moment. Great, authentic leaders lead with their heads, hearts, and guts.
