We contemplate, we reflect, we learn, we act, we perceive, and our vision evolves and leads us
Which themes shall you set to advocate digital transformation? What are your practices for building a hyperconnected and ever-evolving digital business ecosystem?
Look Back and Look Forward to Leading Digital Transformation Confidently: Organizational change and digital transformation are inevitable. As a matter of fact, the life cycle of business today grows shorter and shorter because of increasing pace of changes, overwhelming growth of information, and demand of shareholders. The business transformation journey is full of velocity and uncertainty, thus, a clear vision is in demand. Vision is the ability to see beyond what is to what could be. It is the synthetic view of ‘looking forward,” and “looking behind,” “looking beyond,” and “looking around.” But more specifically, how can digital leaders today look back and look forward to leading digital transformation??
Future-Driven Leadership - Vision vs. Leadership? The substance of leadership never changes. It’s all about making a positive influence, and providing direction, both for oneself and others. Leadership is about CHANGE. It is a basic human ability to inspire self and others to look beyond limitations and make continuous improvement. This ability becomes a capability if we constantly nurture our basic human instincts of HUMILITY, CURIOSITY, and CREATIVITY. Fundamentally, leadership is more about the future but starts today.
Windshield or Rear Mirror: Which is more important to Leaders? Every leader is unique, and they may also have different leadership style: the pivotal leaders are the pathfinder to look forward, and discover the new trail to let others follow-through; the seasoned leaders have plenty of experience, look back with rich and invaluable leadership lessons to learn from. Forward-looking or with an eye on the history and culture - both could be essential. What kind of leader do you prefer? Which leadership style do you have?
Have you Actively Participated in your Vision? Vision is to zoom in the future as if it were closer. We always measure ourselves in terms of our vision - what we intend to be or to accomplish, and what we leave behind is our action upon those intentions. We contemplate, we reflect, we learn, we act, we perceive, and our vision evolves and leads us - the reason we usually see that what we have accomplished is always less than our potential. The future is based on your visions. Either as an individual or an organization, do you allow them to evolve, and actively participate in it?
Three Views to Keep Board Directors Evolving in Exponential Digital Age: The corporate board as one of the top leadership pillars plays a crucial role in overseeing strategies and leading changes and digitalization. Adopting a different paradigm is like changing the glasses and new possibilities continue to emerge. Those who look through the lens of the previous industrial era see their own reality very differently from those who leverage the lens that the new era has crafted. Thus, the board directors need to learn and master the multitude of digital views of the business and understand the exponential digital age profoundly.
The “Future of CIO” Blog has reached 2 million page views with about #4300th blog posting in 59+ different categories of leadership, management, strategy, digitalization, change/talent, etc. The content richness is not for its own sake, but to convey the vision and share the wisdom. Blogging is not about writing, but about thinking and innovating the new ideas; it’s not just about WHAT to say, but about WHY to say, and HOW to say it. It reflects the color and shade of your thought patterns, and it indicates the peaks and curves of your thinking waves. Unlike pure entertainment, quality and professional content takes time for digesting, contemplation and engaging, and therefore, it takes time to attract the "hungry minds" and the "deep souls." It’s the journey to amplify diverse voices and deepen digital footprints, and it's the way to harness your innovative spirit.
