At the higher level, if you can shape collective mindsets with positive and advanced thinking, fresh viewpoint, profound understanding, sophisticated competency, you are moving up the level of deep influence.
Business transformation is the large scale of change, there are many factors that need to be articulated such as long-term vision, organizational culture, talent development and ecosystem dynamics. Professionals need to develop levels of insight, climb qualification hierarchy by building a set of differentiated professional skills to accomplish certain works and deliver high quality results with consistency. They should keep improving their competency, enforcing professional disciplines, developing the best and next practices to amplify their influence. The more complex our world becomes, the more sophisticated business leaders and professionals with multidimensional intelligence and complex skill-sets we need to practice varying professional works for advancing human society.
Levels of insight: In present days, fresh information and outdated knowledge, myth and truth are co-existing, hyper-connectivity and over-complexity are the new normal. The pervasive digitization requires the balance of “old experience” and “new ways to do things.” People are developing and growing, competition and choice are part of that evolutionary process. Top seasoned leaders or high professionals become aware when some of the long-acquired knowledge is no longer applicable in certain situations. They have learned to no longer apply that knowledge in those specific cases, and then, absorb fresh information, relearn the updated knowledge for reaching the next level of insight.
Knowledge is limited, can be taught, but insight is a unique perception which needs to be gained by each individual. Cognitively, our perception is an interpretation based on our conditioning, beliefs, common senses, etc, leading us to judge others, surroundings, the world, all of which may be positive or negative - depending on one's perception. We cannot separate knowledge and creativity if we want to stay competitive on the market. To move from subjective perception to objective perception to creative perception, don’t be distracted or discouraged by others’ outdated perception; don’t be restricted by conventional wisdom, sustain a balance of diversified viewpoints, creativity, and unification, become open-minded and inclusive, envision the possibility to make progressive change in the ever fast changing digital dynamic.

Levels of qualification: Quality is an integral discipline and practice; simplicity can be viewed through different lenses. Quality is in everything people think and behave and there are varying ingredients such as proficiency, credibility, consistency, discipline, simplification, maturity, etc. Business leaders and professionals today must improve professional qualification by continuous learning, developing their professional portfolio, and continue climbing up to the next level of professionalism. From following commands, taking orders reactively to thinking deeper, taking more responsibility, enhancing professional disciplines, building credibility and consistency, etc. Employees with higher levels of qualification are the ones who can think and work independently, have excellent problem-solving skills; they are well disciplined, have a "customer focus," bring positivity and wisdom to the workplace with consistency.
It’s a journey to move up levels of qualification. High-quality digital professionals are consistent life learners, change agents, and creative problem-solvers; understanding their environment profoundly, having the proficient knowledge to practice expert power fluently; if necessary, breaking through the industrial or societal constraints and limitations, in pursuit of possibility, simplification, and advancement rather than conventionalism, impossibility. Not only do qualified professionals keep consistent in themselves; but they also look for consistency in their teams, in their organization and society.
People need to keep exploring their talent, broadening and deepening their relevant skills, becoming more fluent, intuitive and productive in what they are doing. They are more confident to connect wider dots, explore adjacent knowledge domains, integrate seemingly irrelevant, but in fact, necessary components for growing toward the next level of expertise, to fit the role they intend to play and deepening their influence. Contemporary leaders and professionals with persuasive influence desire to listen to the different viewpoints, discover the connectivity and common ground from the difference, carry compelling conversations across business domains, create a ripple effect and make a high level of influence in a multidimensional way.
The business environment is full of uncertainty, velocity, complexity, and ambiguity, competition and collaboration are both natural in a business environment or human society. The most advanced thing in the world is actually the advanced mindset and the progress it drives from one generation to the next generation and makes evolutionary change in human society. Thus, at the higher level, if you can shape collective mindsets with positive and advanced thinking, fresh viewpoint, profound understanding, sophisticated competency, you are moving up the level of deep influence. From one generation to the other generation, over time things change. The point is to understand the special context and situations, and encourage high professionalism. Never stop thinking, learning, and innovating. Professional competency development, influence, and maturity requires character, determination, discipline, dedication, practice, and persistence in the present and a continuum.
