Today, businesses are operating in a fast-paced, competitive environment where change is constant. With technology advancing at a rate we’ve never experienced before, and people dealing with complex challenges, businesses need leaders who can lead both sound strategy and human culture.
Human beings are meaning-makers, we crave predictability, patterns, and for things to make sense. This is why leaders need the right mindset, before/as well as skillset and toolset, in order to align with and then drive the business strategy forward.
Thinking about your leadership team, what leadership culture are you fostering, either by design or by default? Not the promises on the careers page of your website, or the list of values on meeting room the walls… what is the actual culture (‘the way we do things here’)? What do your people feel, think, do and say – everyday?
By now we know culture wins out over strategy, right? Because it’s the culture, the way human beings choose what and then how work gets done. The conversations that are (and aren’t) being had, the thought leadership invoked (or not), the ways people and teams work together.
When we disrupt the status quo and the current meaning-making, when we question the predictability, we start uncovering and shifting current leadership beliefs and practises… that’s when real transformation happens. That’s when you notice a change in how people show up, how they empower and motivate, how they lead.
True leadership development is a process, not an event. It takes time to solidify new thinking and behaviours into new patterns and habits. Through increased awareness, agency, and accountability. Why not invest in the humans driving your business with intentional, conscious leadership programs and coaching and watch them flourish. Watch your organisation’s culture shift and strategy become a reality.
