In this week’s Quick Take, we discuss that in the constantly evolving world, we all need to evolve right along with it by reimagining our approach to leadership. To spark insights about where to start, we share three contrasts between leadership as it’s been for decades and what’s now required to lead under pressure in the increasingly uncertain and complex business environment.
We have news! Growth Igniters® Radio is now available in both audio and video formats.
Have you ever experienced a moment that made you realize how easy it is to overlook the many ways the world keeps changing right under our noses when so much is happening all at once? For instance, we were recently reminded of how easy it is to take for granted the profound changes in telecom when we came across an old-fashioned glass-enclosed phone booth in a speakeasy-style cocktail lounge in Manhattan.
The same can be true of leadership. Many best practices for decision-making about strategy and execution were designed for a slower, more predictable era. Maybe you’ve noticed that under new pressures in the uncertain, complex world, the traditional leadership playbook no longer works as well as it did. When realities can change in a heartbeat in the world of generative AI, geopolitical upheaval, demographic shifts, and rapid communication cycles, we need to reimagine leadership to enable us to anticipate trends and use these and other changes to our advantage.
In this Quick Take conversation, we share three questions to spark new insights on where to start reimagining your leadership approach. This includes contrasting traditional approaches to strategy development, such as SWOT analysis, with fostering constant, meaningful interaction with a wider range of stakeholders. We discuss how these ongoing interactions can help you spot emerging trends earlier and uncover emerging growth opportunities. We also talk about how the leaders we call “Growth Igniters” foster innovation and growth by co-creating value with a wider range of stakeholders, despite (or even because of) the twists and turns.
