‘A leader is best when people barely know he exists… when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will all say: We did it ourselves.’
-Laozi–
As we head into the future of work, leadership takes on a different meaning. Our vision of leadership and what makes a leader has changed. Questions arise about what exactly is a leader and what do we mean by leadership when we transform to a business agile organization?
That there currently is a shift towards a new form of leadership, is indisputable.
Searching the internet, you will find over 50 different types of leadership styles. Does that confirm that there is a need for a different way of leading?
Leadership seems a mission impossible. Facing today’s corona pandemic, you see leaders of nations and business act and doing the best they can do with all good intentions. Whether the decisions they make are perceived as good or bad by others, there will always be people who would like to have seen a different strategy or interpret messages differently than they were intended. Why?
In this talk, we explore different ways of leading, distributed leadership and the influence of culture, beliefs, biases, and our behaviour on our journey to the future of work. Together we discover practical examples of how to become aware of our way of leading and how to become the role model you want to be.
