Being a leader takes one to have a vision to see further than many others; to have intention to do better than others in certain subject domains, to practice thought leadership for making a profound influence, while creating themselves a platform of influence in wherever they are. It’s time to celebrate 9300 blog postings for conveying the digital ways to generate ideas and share wisdom.
Leadership vision is a guiding light for direction, change, innovation: The dynamic business and global environment keeps throwing a new set of situations to deal with; leadership is about the future and change, innovation, and progress. Leadership vision is to be a guiding light and show the clear direction for the business to move forward. Present vision in a new synthesis by identifying the gaps that you are facing or will be facing tomorrow, and how to lead the team to realize the vision they share. Leadership vision is being great by making positive influence and leading progressive change smoothly.
The first accomplishment of ‘leaders as visionary architects or designers’ involves envisioning, designing the organization’s governing foundations with critical business components such as purpose, vision, mission, core values, etc, that the organization will live by. Leaders should also translate guiding ideas into business decisions by thoughtfully crafting an organization’s policy, strategy, structure, and core competencies.
Leadership character reveals authenticity, high professionalism, and unique competency: Character-based leaders are more authentic, decisive as character is inbuilt based on the inner self, revealed through perception, communication, personality, etc. Once you have formed and built your character through cognition and experiences, those experiences define who you are and clarify your identity. Because character inspires people to hold on to their belief and shows courage to do something meaningful with persistence. Without courage, character cannot shine through. Without character, courage cannot be renewed.
Character based leaders show courage to break down old rules or “we always do things like that” mentality. They are more consistent with their thinking, saying, and doing, ensuring that their voice and actions are in synchronization by combined action, endurance, and with the right spirit. To simply put, without character, you cannot turn around tough situations. Without character, leadership cannot reach the high level of maturity. You can keep developing leadership character from tough experiences and learn to be more resilient, consistent and influential.
Leadership creativity implies thinking out of the box, empowers change agents, inspires innovation: A digital leader or professional must find ways to break down conventional wisdom. Practicing innovative thinking takes a certain break away from thoughts that others have thought about or conventional wisdom. Creative leaders have the ability to reframe the circumstances or conditions around a problem, to solve a problem creatively. Creative leaders encourage followers to explore different possibilities and think in innovative ways to get their work done creatively. Creative leaders have wise eyes to recognize their innovators- the people who can generate lots of original ideas, or the people who can evaluate and implement these ideas!
Creative leaders are inspirational and motivational when they think, act and enable others with a creative spirit that drives positive change. Creative leaders will lead diversified teams with a high level of creative intelligence, build a culture where creativity is not just accepted but encouraged, harness cross functional communication and catalyze innovation proactively. The leadership team with cognitive, experience, cultural difference will have the better capability and complementary skills to inspire innovation, and lead business transformation effortlessly.
Leadership insight bridges knowledge and true understanding, improves decision effectiveness: It takes vision to push the world forward; it takes insight to pull the world together. Insight is the most wanted vision to navigate the uncharted water of digital transformation. It’s not the acquisition of knowledge that will make the leader, it is the desire to acquire and apply that knowledge, transform into the insight that will make an influential leader.
Insight is being able to identify the root cause of a problem or the core issues of a situation which leads to in-depth understanding and structural resolution. Insightful leaders can build compelling teams that reach a shared insight of a situation which is always better than individual belief, to solve problems effectively. Insightful leaders are able to dig beneath the superficial layer, see around the corner and transcend the interdisciplinary knowledge to understand the real issues profoundly and make right decisions to solve them smoothly.
Leadership agility is important to create momentum for change and lead the world forward successfully: Business operates in the real world, and the real world is muddy and chaotic. With the overwhelming growth of information and rapid changing circumstances, business leaders need to be learning agile, become subject domain experts, to reach the state of knowledge proficiency and practice expert power wisely.
Effective leaders need to have considerable mental acuity to assimilate all the influences/changes coming from around her/him, use it to “freshen up ideas,” encourage cross-disciplinary information flow and become gap minders. They not only provide answers, but also ask insightful questions, bridge knowledge gaps all the time. Contemporary leaders could gain more trust and respect by practicing expert power and making influence consistently.
