LEADING 'FROM THE INSIDE OUT' -
With Authenticity And Purpose To Elevate
Competitive Advantage
Leading yourself is the most difficult, and yet the most rewarding leadership position that you will ever hold in your life.
If you do it right, it will result in zero regrets.
We all go through the void in our lives. Some get out easier than others. To get up we have to become aware of the authentic self and the infinite power and creativity that is in each and every one of us.
It is the responsibility of those who get up to raise awareness about this life wisdom and support those who get lost in the void.
Authenticity cannot be mimicked or copied. It has to be discovered and then allowed to be expressed in your world.
Dare to live it!
The world yearns for Authentic Leaders who are aware that when leading by fear, there is no creativity, no courage, and no meaningful present and future!
Be The Leader Who Leads With Authenticity And Purpose!
Sustainable growth of a company is conditioned by sustainable growth of its employees.
COVID-19 calls us to reinvent ourselves, to redesign our organisations, to transform our societies and to rethink the current leadership and management practices.
One thing is clear.
We are approaching a new reality which forces us to create something new. Something that is more creative, more sustainable, more resilient and something that ensures prosperity for each and everyone.
Talking to people should be the most important job of those who lead and manage change in their organisations.
They have to become ‘Chief People Officers’.
THE 7-Cs FOR OVERCOMING RESISTANCE TO CHANGE
1. CLARITY
Develop a change story.
2. CERTAINTY
Create clear messages that would help in understanding what stays the same and what will be new.
3. CHOICE
Involve employees in the decision-making process about the change management initiatives, ask for their advice, and give them a choice to determine how change management initiatives are going to be implemented.
4. CONTROL
Give employees some form of control.
5. COMMUNICATION
Communicate the change story as often as possible.
6. CONSISTENCY
Walk the talk. If this is not done properly, it would be like 'sound and video are out of sync.'
7. COACHING
Coaching will help in understanding each employee, their beliefs and emotions around the change. To cultivate a coaching style of leadership, develop compassion and replace judgement with curiosity.
The precondition for the 7-Cs is a PSYCHOLOGICALLY SAFE environment where employees are not afraid to speak up, share their concerns and mistakes, and where they feel that their opinion counts.
We long for Authentic Leaders – those who stay true to themselves and earn the trust of others.
