Initiativeofleadership

Leadership innovation is a persistent practice, organizations need to keep experimenting, and exploring with clear goals continuously.


Leadership is about the future and direction; it is the capacity to influence others through vision birthed by a conviction of a sense of purpose, motivate the team by a passion, and lead teams by professional competency and example, steer their organization in the right direction. 

Leadership is profound, there are many tangible & intangible ingredients to make it shine. Leadership competency is multifaceted, interrelated with the trait and experience to improve its maturity.

It requires in-depth understanding of people, problems, circumstances in order to amplify leadership influence: Leadership is an influence, every leader is unique; thus, their leadership influence would be also different. To build influential competency, being an authentic leader is critical to make you think about what truly drives you to lead and why. Because if you know yourself, you are also better suited to convey a clear vision, tackle different problems, and overcome challenges that will come your way as a leader.

Insightful leadership should be built on the foundation of the moral competencies –wisdom, justice, courage, and temperance, etc, in order to build strong influential competency. Developing world-class insight and accurate foresight requires multidimensional thinking and forecasting capability. Without such leadership navigation capabilities, companies fail to generate multifaceted corporate value and competitive edge in a global economy.

It is an effective practice to build the distinctive leadership “hardcore” for making significant leadership impact:
Every leader is unique with a set of differentiated professional competencies. It’s important to convey leadership philosophy, develop expertise, build leadership profiles and reputation all the time. Effective leaders are not only experts, being fluent in making professional deliveries, but also great coaches who share knowledge with passion, becoming more influential on innovating, mentoring, and driving transformative changes.

Leadership is situational, situational leadership is affected by context, culture, including capability and resources, and the means to an end, rather than just defined by the end result. Leaders’ competitive uniqueness will attract divergent thoughts and diversified talents. People need to feel that leaders understand their concerns, particularly in tough times; recognize their talent and contribution to the organizations. So they can build compelling teams to produce high performance outcomes. An effective leader is a means toward reconciling all the different factors toward a unifying and driving motivation, inspiring change and innovation. They demonstrate agile mindset, congruent attitude, interdisciplinary expertise, empathetic communication, or exemplary behavior to keep the change moment and sustain change effect.

It’s important to integrate lots of great ingredients for building leadership competency and improving leadership maturity
: Leadership development is a journey. So many organizations wait until the people are put into "leadership" positions to be introduced to the elements of leadership. That is one of the causes of leadership shortage. Leadership integration is based on the breadth of expertise and depth of impact, breaking down silo mentality, and developing integral leadership capabilities proactively.

Modern organization has its own sophistication- silo functions, the sea of data, and the alternative pool of talents, etc. It's a strategic imperative for leaders to be open-minded, leverage multidimensional viewpoints and integrate diverse perspectives into a holistic understanding that can close blind-spots, and improve leadership effectiveness. Great leaders apply an integral approach to coherent decision-making and structural problem-solving, with a “big picture” in mind for putting things together, integration, optimization, collaboration, and harmonization. They can blend two different methodologies -storytelling and visual maps to facilitate communication and harness innovation.

Leadership innovation is a persistent practice, organizations need to keep experimenting, and exploring with clear goals continuously. Becoming a cross-boundary leader means you need to have vision to bridge the difference; interdisciplinary knowledge to understand problems holistically and come up with integral solutions; differentiated competency to make profound influence.
