Leadership is induction & deduction; principle & discipline, methodology & practice.
Digital leaders need to understand “patterns” defined as “solutions of problems in a context”: The digital organization is a hyperconnected and interdependent system. System = Pattern. The digital leaders today need to be the systems thinkers who can recognize pattern language as running a business today is an iterative problem-solving continuum. Patterns are a sort of hidden clue, with a body of “descriptions of forces.” More broadly speaking, everything is interconnected with hidden logic as a clue, and the earth “thinks” as a giant ecosystem. An ecosystem is a community of living organisms in conjunction with the nonliving components of their environment. The leaders’ systematic logic helps them dig through the root cause and solve problems holistically.
Digital organizations are ecological systems which keep evolving. There are all sorts of gaps that need to be closed. There is frustration in the process of leadership. Such frustration may come from an element of dissonance or disagreement between leader and followers, miscommunication or lack of empathy. In practice, many leaders and managers have intentions to lead but lack cognitive understanding, intellectual sophistication, and differential strength to lead effectively. There is agreement in the selected vision, values, purpose and plan. Systems logic seems to be the best route to take to develop viable, long term solutions to a great many of the issues we are facing today.
Highly effective leaders take a logical approach to transform a crowd into a workable collective and even greater -into the fountain of human potential: Leadership is about respecting and understanding of people and driving progressive changes. This is a most elegant, interesting, and challenging art. Leaders or managers need to understand that the linear management skills are not sufficient to lead today’s nonlinear digital world with the deep learning curves. Lack of nonlinear leadership logic perhaps causes status quo, silo thinking, ineffective processes, or more management gaps such as retention issues, decreased engagement, scaling issues, low employee performance and morale, etc.
Great leaders inspire people to achieve what they want to achieve, take a logical approach to transform a crowd into a workable collective and even greater -into the fountain of human potential. In reality, much of what passes for leadership today is either 'survival managing' or 'status quo.’ Survival managing is when an organization's leaders say they want leadership at all levels, but what they really want and expect is not fine-tuned, so their leadership does not reach the next level of maturity. “Status quo” means when leaders lead, not for a cause or an idea, but to gain the status quo. It's one of those things that no matter where poor leadership is coming from, from a frontline manager all the way to a top executive member, it will have its repercussions. Everyone appreciates inferential leadership when leaders are leading that way, and what people want and need is a reason, a cause, a goal to be led toward. That's where the idea of 'transformative leadership' connects.
Leadership is induction & deduction; principle & discipline, methodology & practice: A philosophy will embed when great leaders understand themselves because there's a personal and emotive connection and when it answers the question of "what's in it for me." In order to make effective decisions and solve right problems, it is more important for senior executives to frame the right questions than hunting for the right answers, practice induction and deduction, develop new methodology and practices. if lack of strong business logic- a system is not in place, the policy is not set right, the roles are not defined, people don't understand the purpose of their roles, it will be very hard to run the business effectively and achieve expected business outcome.
Being willing to dive in rather than just dip your toes is sometimes needed. The human being needs to be enthused to participate and achieve goals courageously. The business management discipline is composed of a set of principles, processes, and practices. Inferential leadership logic helps to clarify vision and streamline actions. There are action steps you will have to take in your mind first. A leader must believe in his/her vision, feel the passion for the thing which needs to be done, hear others, especially the team, know the ways to get it, and they must walk the talk.
The dawn of the digital era is partly responsible for many of the prevailing global problems prevailing due to increasing pace of change and continuous disruption. Highly effective leaders need to have the capabilities by using the right language, strong logic, influence skills, personal brand development, enabling them to amplify leadership influences. They have their version of the playbook, inferential logic, and their handy toolbox to improve leadership effectiveness and maturity.
