A new kind of leader is required for the future. Preparing emerging leaders with the human skills and confidence to be inspiring great leaders, access their leadership potential and thrive in an evolving world.

Learning how to transition from being a great individual contributor to being a leader of others takes a mindset shift. However, before you can lead others effectively, you first need to lead yourself.

Transitioning into leadership can leave many emerging leaders insecure, lacking in confidence and feeling like an imposter. Having a conscious awareness and understanding of your natural leadership strengths, how you can apply different leadership styles, and applying a leadership performance mindset allows emerging leaders to thrive.

How can emerging leaders become more resilient and better at leading and making decisions in such uncertain times? Being able to lead with influence, develop a creative environment and think differently allows emerging leaders to navigate uncertain times.

Stepping into a leadership role exposes emerging leaders to many challenging situations including managing crisis, conflict, change, competing priorities and human beings. Having new perspectives on leadership while developing a team culture where people thrive is the core to successful departments and companies.

The following programs have been designed in a sequence, specifically for the needs of emerging leaders:

The gravity of leadership has shaped a new executive leader whose role has gone beyond being a leader of employees to a leader of human beings beyond the workplace. They are inspiring great leaders who care, are purposeful and collaborative.

As we confront the challenges of an uncertain world, wellbeing is now at the heart of strategic decision making and shapes the way leaders interact with our people. Navigating the challenges of disruption, uncertainty and a new working world of flexible workplaces, we need to lead the sustainable energy and momentum of our team.

Gone are the days of managing and motivating people as we now inspire people through being conscious and empowering leaders. Our role in culture, behaviour and accountability has now been disseminated across the company as employees take greater responsibility and ownership.

Our world requires pioneering and adaptable leaders who inspire high performing teams to be more resourceful, creative and agile innovators. They understand a greater need for inter-department, inter-cultural and inter-company collaboration and cooperation.

Competitive advantage is a people thing and requires greater levels of client and human centricity to meet the constantly changing needs and demands of the world. Leaders are transforming into coaches who inspire and empower individuals and teams to think differently, ask more effective questions and solve important problems.

The higher you move up a company, the greater the challenges and therefore more effective your influencing ability needs to be.

How can you leverage the power dynamics, relationships and coalitions that exist internally and externally? Being able to accelerate impact and inspire people to buy into an aligned strategy or decision, build a cohesive culture, change direction or agree to contract terms, requires grit, determination and perseverance. The greater the uncertainty, sense of urgency and complexity, the more a leader requires decisiveness, clarity and situational awareness.

To create a powerful team culture, growth and relevancy, it is valuable for leaders to consider diversity of thought, perspective and experiences. Before leaders focus on being more strategic, communicate persuasively, and act decisively, they first need to be human-centric and heart-centred. Cohesive teams evolve through collectively aligning individuals with group goals, developing the team DNA, and empowering team members to establish appropriate behaviours and hold themselves accountable. A team with great dynamics tends to have members who trust each other, hold each other accountable and respect each other’s differences. Building an effective team requires achieving trust and loyalty through taking an interest in each individual, showing that you care and understanding their motivations. When you have people in roles that fit their talents, their energy and passion can fuel their own great performance and inspire the same from their colleagues.

It has led to blurred boundaries, fluid collaborations and pressure to be more agile.

Great leaders accomplish great results by setting direction, inspiring action, aligning resources, developing the capabilities of a team and communicating a compelling vision that will inspire others to perform beyond even their own expectations. How these skills are applied varies according to the environment and business context.
