Leadership
“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.”- John Quincy Adams
- Some people pursue leadership whilst some people unintentionally fall into leadership roles by circumstance or promotion. Research shows that only 33% of leaders feel confident in their roles without training. Formal leadership training is crucial for leadership success
- Great leaders communicate a compelling vision of the future that inspires alignment, energy, and purpose across all levels of the organisation. Vision with Clarity.
- Research shows that only 2% of leaders are confident that they will achieve 80-100% of their strategy objectives
- Leaders must demonstrate self-awareness, compassion, and strong interpersonal skills to build trust, navigate complexity, and lead diverse teams effectively. Not everybody has natural Emotional Intelligence (EI) and it is a vital skill for all leaders. How would you rate your level of EI ?
- Cultural Intelligence is a critical element for effective leadership and requires understanding and navigating cultural diversity with sensitivity, especially in global and hybrid workplaces. Do you have a culturally diverse workplace?
- Effective leaders remain calm and decisive under pressure, able to pivot strategies and guide others through ambiguity and change. Adaptability in Uncertainty. How do you handle pressure?
- Integrity, accountability, and consistency in words and actions set the cultural tone and earn lasting respect from others, so effective leaders lead by example. How would you describe the cultural tone of your workplace?
- Great leaders focus on Empowerment Over Control by enabling others, fostering autonomy, and building leadership capacity within their teams, not micromanaging. Have you ever been micromanaged and how did that feel? Have you ever been accused of micromanaging?
- Commitment to Growth requires continuous self-development and coaching others to grow ensures leadership remains dynamic, relevant, and future-ready. Is your commitment “green and growing or ripe and rotting”?
- How are you mapping and measuring your leadership effectiveness? Do you follow a framework to ensure consistency and success on your leadership journey? Achieving strategic outcomes for future performanc
Guiding
- A great quote is “be strong enough to stand alone, smart enough to know when you need help and brave enough to ask for it” Mark Amend.
- Research from Harvard Business School and Wharton School found that though many people are afraid to ask for advice and risk looking incompetent, they’ve actually got it backwards. People who seek advice are likely to be thought of as more competent.
- Boards benefit from objective independent performance reviews even though directors may find it an awkward and uncomfortable process.
- At the business level guidance is critical to avoiding the business danger zones.
- At the personal level we rarely have the opportunity for another person to be solely devoted to our needs and issues, coaching can provide that safe space and those special conversations.
- Do you have a dashboard of indicators helping you navigate your business and personal life?
- Are you able to draw upon significant relevant experience to help guide your decisions?
- The opposite of being guided is to be lost. Do you ever feel lost, adrift or directionless in either business or private life?
- Remember the fairytale about Hansel and Gretel? Hansel took a slice of bread and left a trail of bread crumbs for them to follow home. What path are you following? Who is guiding you?
