Leadership is about alignment and integration interconnected with hidden clues to solve problems effectively.
Leadership is an influence, which comes from the good combination of self-aware mindset, interdisciplinary knowledge, professional expertise, and intuitive gut feeling. Leadership is not just soft skills such as communication, but a state of mind and a set of hard capabilities to make an influence and maintain a consistent reputation.
Leadership is about vision, also about alignment and integration. Leadership is about striking the balance of both the hard and soft elements. There is no cookie cutting leadership formula, there are quite lots of ingredients interwoven to improve leadership effectiveness and harness innovation.
Leadership & growth: Rapid change and fierce competition are the new normal; organizational leaders with a growth mindset today can build an enriched professional portfolio by reinventing themselves, continuously building professional competency, seeking unconventional wisdom. Influenced by growth leadership, people in the organizations are becoming more self-driven and self-disciplined to tear down the mental barriers and tap in their inherent abilities; develop talent and professional competencies.
Growth mentality directly impacts on how fluently you can connect the interdisciplinary dots to spark creativity, and how effectively you are able to make sound judgment. You can only know what you know, but there are more dimensions which you don’t know. Without a growth mindset, either individual or the organization will get stuck and cannot reach the next level of the growth cycle and innovation excellence.
Leadership & learning agility: The more complex the situation is and the world becomes, the more effective, learning agile, and mature leaders are in demand to reach in-depth understanding, facilitate cross-disciplinary dialogues, bridge gaps and unify differences in leading transformative change smoothly.
Organizations are intrigued with overloaded information, interwoven connectivity, interconnected relationships, overlapped processes or applications. Often leaders feel that they can only be the solution when in fact they are actually the problem in some situations. This will keep the leader cautious and coachable, continually growing in effectiveness. Part of handling such challenges comes down to the leader's self-awareness, learning agility, proficient expertise. Leaders must have learning agility to think strategically and creatively, see unique patterns and make fresh connections that others overlook, lead changes and make seamless transformation.
Leadership & resilience: In face of frequent disruptions and competitions, it is what leaders do in times of difficulty that truly demonstrates their character and resilience. Resilience is an elastic component of being flexible and adaptable in the midst of adversity, threat and stress, undergoing high dynamic stress. It is the ability to respond to change proactively.
At some point, you can let that go, receive who you are, and contemplate your purpose, strength and weakness. Leaders who keep people on the right path, especially when it's very tempting to do otherwise, are truly inspiring. and yet they are able to recover quickly from setbacks but even getting better, selecting the best options, to deal with issues smoothly.
Leaders today can lead change and harness innovation by practicing open leadership styles and enhancing interdisciplinary management discipline. Great leaders should have the breadth and depth of leadership influence and wisdom to handle varying situations thoughtfully. Leadership is about alignment and integration interconnected with hidden clues to solve problems effectively. Leadership is also a continuous journey with accumulated steps and a few transcendental movements to push the human world forward determinedly.
