Although it has many facets, at its core, the foundation of leadership is based on authenticity and vision.

Leadership is about direction and change, principle & discipline, induction & deduction; methodology & practice. Change happens where logic, education, and innovation replace ignorance and inertia! 

It is imperative that leadership can be explained, explored, understood and embraced for it to be of any value interdisciplinarily, clarify vision and streamline actions to lead change effectively.

Leaders see possibilities before others, but they also need to tackle great challenges with sequence-consequences over long time spans: Leadership is one's ability to paint a vivid picture, a vision of a future state and motivate others to achieve it. Transformation is all about growing and we all know how much most people embrace that. Visionary leaders perhaps propose ideas ahead of their time or intend to fill the gap when people’s mindsets lag behind the era in which they live. There is no universal formula for changes, there are many choices you need to make for changes, especially for the large scale business transformation. The Inferential prediction can complement the vision, helps to clarify what the possible outcomes of making a certain choice are, as well as how to handle different change scenarios, etc, smoothly.

The journey of progressive change is often more evolutionary than revolutionary. So business leaders should ponder whether the leadership quality exists within an organization such that it permeates across the business hierarchy; whether the very culture of an organization define settling for a solid, predictable past as unacceptable; whether the business processes can be optimized to improve organizational effectiveness. From top down, predicting and preparing the next level of change or growth is iterative learning and doing continuum. Leaders have to communicate empathetically, present the ability to deal with complexity via sequence-consequence clarification in high digital transparency and stressful digital dynamics.

Leadership insight is an understanding of cause and effect based on the identification of mindsets, relationships and behaviors within a model, context, or scenario: Fundamentally, leadership is the ability to solve problems directly or indirectly, especially at the strategic level. The logic and wisdom behind problem-solving is being able to identify the root cause of a problem or the core issues of a situation which leads to understanding and resolution in a systematic way. An insightful digital leader has a better chance to figure out the premium solutions as insight is the power of acute observation and deduction, perception and explanation; questioning & discernment, connection & penetration.

Good leaders are good at solving problems logically; great leaders predict and prevent problems from happening forethoughtfully. Despite the fact that there is a clear line between influencing and predicting what is to come, having the ability to predict is important for, and helpful in, influencing the future and driving seamless changes. Either insight or foresight takes both creativity and reasoning, intuition and logic. Where creativity and logic come together to advocate strong leadership, positive change equates to results!

A truly great leader thinks logically and acts professionally in all aspects of their role and beyond: Leadership is a discipline by setting good principles to guide changes and enhancing the best and next practices to lead forward. It creates a strong chain with no weak links. Perception gaps, knowledge gaps, innovation gaps generate barriers and become insurmountable problems for us to reach the high ground of collective progress. The sophisticated leaders with strong nonlinear logic have the willingness to embrace different or contrasting views and share the thoughts to bridge the difference in order to deepen understanding and improve leadership competency.

The logical coherence of leadership is based on consistency, credibility, integrity. An effective leader is someone who improves the overall effectiveness of an organization and makes influence on progressive changes. Leader’s professionalism starts with being professional with a positive and forward-thinking mindset and exemplary attitude and behaviors. You are what you continue thinking and doing in a consistent way. Consistency enhances trust, improves leadership quality, increases credibility and demonstrates integrity.

As leadership today is neither static nor transaction driven, it has to blend the color of the character and make influence via wisdom and cognizance. Digital leadership is complex. Transformative leaders can empathetically let people know that they are part of something bigger than just keeping the organizational vehicle running on time. Although it has many facets, at its core, the foundation of leadership is based on authenticity and vision; the thread holding leadership competency is based on strong logic or creativity for problem-solving and advancing human society.
