A New Leadership Blueprint for a Turbulent World
“What a Leader Should Be” is a compendium of ideas, insights, and blueprints to help leaders navigate our new world of VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity) and make better decisions towards building a more compassionate, sustainable, and resilient world. Includes toolkits on innovation, collaboration, culture-building, cognitive bias, time management, critical thinking, as well as building gender balance and equity.
Do you see that times such as these require an enlightened leadership mindset that embraces vision, agility, and a compassionate and collaborative approach to problem-solving? Do you believe in a more human-centric focus in our adoption of innovation and technology? And do you champion the indomitable spirit of humans to build a more resilient, inclusive, and sustainable world?
“What does the new “enlightened leader “look like? It is someone who has the ability to navigate the challenges of her or his office with great intelligence, wisdom, and compassion as well as the influence to teach and inspire others. We can see organizations that are blessed with these individuals because they are uniquely uplifted, not just in terms of productivity, but in the positive energy of their institutions and in the loyalty of their staff. Enlightened leaders are not defined by their egos or titillated by power but are centered on delivering results while treating the people around them with respect and consideration. They use their position to lead rather than to scale their power. They hold themselves to higher standards, and in doing so elevate their organizations and inspire others around them to follow.
“An enlightened leader’s more human-centered approach reflects on the organization and becomes embedded in its value system, its corporate culture, and its brand identity. They win hearts through thoughtful action; by showing unflagging courage to help others and using their own influence to make good things happen. The leadership space is rife with challenges and risks. An enlightened leader is one who can command a following through vision, intelligence, and compassion, attracting the best from staff, customers, stakeholders, and the world around. ” Sana Bagersh
