Innovateleadership

Leadership is to bridge, not to divide; leadership is to adapt, not too rigid; leadership is to move forward, not backward.

Leadership is all about the future. That is why having a vision for the future is usually considered one of the key aspects of leadership. Leadership needs to become more insightful to deal with hyper-diverse and over-complex business normality. The solution may be to re-engineer the leadership, beginning with re-designing a strategy, rediscovering the talent pipeline, and re-training leaders to close the gaps to make differences.

 Leadership is both natural and nurtured. Being able to succinctly identify what training is needed and deliver those necessary skill sets to the business are critical deliverables for strategic goal achievement.

Leadership development interventions and learning journeys will do well to be strongly aligned with business challenges: Leadership is an influence; every authentic leader has an inner compass to drive them forward, apply visionary and strategic thinking, plus enthusiasm, and unique personal leadership styles to achieve strategic goals. Effective leadership fills a certain gap or multiple gaps in order to lead to the future smoothly.

Leadership is about developing people, not managing them. Leadership development starts from the mindset level, following with a set of exemplary behavior. Leadership development perspective covers critical thinking, problem-solving, pressure handling, creativity, communication skills, assessing the psychological preferences in how leaders would perceive the digital ecosystem, their thought processes and mental strength to make decisions. Leaders have to make a conscious choice to continuously learn, practice and improve upon the leadership quality and influence.

Leadership “hard” skills can and should be defined, leadership and management skills need to be sharpened continually: Things get done with effective Leadership. Of course, there is frustration in the process of leadership. Leadership is not just a “soft discipline,” but a hard competency. When assessing leadership skills and experience, effective leadership is a good combination of substances plus styles, psychologically, philosophically and methodologically. It is useful when defining leadership roles and levels, identifying leader development areas; assess business strategy skills including visionary thinking, strategic planning, market evaluation, customer needs, product development, capital planning. The other types of leadership or management skills include the management skills of planning, leading, organizing and controlling, sales & marketing, operations, engineering and research

Broad management/leadership education is typically streamlined, but it’s useful for individual add-on education and training. It is also useful for career planning purposes. Teams made up of experts, collaborate to serve on purpose or goal, benefit from a leader who has collaboration skills and can keep the big picture in focus. The truly effective leaders are exceptionally secure in "who they are" and what they are capable of, they are learning agile to continue sharpening unique leadership competency and various management skills.

Leadership development is a crucial investment with a systematic perspective, requiring time and energy in today's fast-paced work environment
: Leadership is defined with respect to changing the future. Leaders' active and real involvement in the development of human potential will be more critical than ever. Leadership is more situational than thought, leaders are made, not born; it is based on seeing people become leaders because they had to take the lead on a problem that no one could; they bridge gaps, make difference, cultivate more leaders and make progressive changes.

Every organization is a system; every person is a system; leadership is also a system with entities and interrelated relationships. Leader definitely needs the trait to be teachable to keep up with technological advances and processes. The leadership candidates need to ponder deeper: What are your “systems” for making leadership happen in your life and the lives of others? How do you set up "systems" for path correction? How does information technology affect leadership? What were external, exogenous events which supported or inhibited your leadership in this short time frame? How do you need to adjust your system? Leadership is a humbling experience and a journey of continuous learning and practicing.

Leadership is to bridge, not to divide; leadership is to adapt, not too rigid; leadership is to move forward, not backward. The future is in our hands. We have to reinvent what leadership is with new normal and new approaches, develop the best and next practice to accelerate its maturity.
