WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.802 --> 00:00:03.552 (pleasant music) 2 00:00:08.940 --> 00:00:11.370 - If you, like us, believe that the world 3 00:00:11.370 --> 00:00:13.680 needs generative leaders, the question then is, 4 00:00:13.680 --> 00:00:15.450 well, how do we develop them? 5 00:00:15.450 --> 00:00:17.970 When you look across your organization, what I would say, 6 00:00:17.970 --> 00:00:20.250 and maybe we do a little thought experiment here, 7 00:00:20.250 --> 00:00:22.920 just take a moment and think, 8 00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:27.090 what is it that I naturally lead with myself? 9 00:00:27.090 --> 00:00:28.680 Do I naturally lead with my head? 10 00:00:28.680 --> 00:00:31.080 Am I more of a visionary, a strategist? 11 00:00:31.080 --> 00:00:32.400 Do I lead with my hands? 12 00:00:32.400 --> 00:00:33.810 Am I the type of person that loves 13 00:00:33.810 --> 00:00:35.580 to get in there and get things done? 14 00:00:35.580 --> 00:00:38.430 Or am I someone who leads with my heart, 15 00:00:38.430 --> 00:00:41.250 inspiring and empowering people? 16 00:00:41.250 --> 00:00:44.010 So you've probably got that image in your head 17 00:00:44.010 --> 00:00:45.750 of the type of leader you are. 18 00:00:45.750 --> 00:00:47.940 And what I would say, if we had more time, we could think 19 00:00:47.940 --> 00:00:50.160 about the teams that you're leading, 20 00:00:50.160 --> 00:00:52.590 the leadership teams across your organizations. 21 00:00:52.590 --> 00:00:55.110 And what we would find is a mix 22 00:00:55.110 --> 00:00:57.300 of leaders with different strengths. 23 00:00:57.300 --> 00:00:59.550 The data would suggest it will be a bit more biased 24 00:00:59.550 --> 00:01:02.070 towards the head and hands, 25 00:01:02.070 --> 00:01:05.790 with a weaker set of heart attributes, 26 00:01:05.790 --> 00:01:07.860 but we would still find a mix. 27 00:01:07.860 --> 00:01:09.900 And so then you think, okay well, what would we do? 28 00:01:09.900 --> 00:01:12.870 How would we develop leaders that truly have 29 00:01:12.870 --> 00:01:14.640 head, heart, and hands capabilities? 30 00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:17.610 And here, I'll just leave you with three quick thoughts. 31 00:01:17.610 --> 00:01:21.060 The first one is to reflect deeply. 32 00:01:21.060 --> 00:01:23.790 Think about the vision you have for your company, 33 00:01:23.790 --> 00:01:26.760 think about the capabilities that you need 34 00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:30.780 from your leaders, those heart and head and hands 35 00:01:30.780 --> 00:01:32.580 capabilities we've been talking about. 36 00:01:32.580 --> 00:01:35.430 And then also go through some sort of a process, 37 00:01:35.430 --> 00:01:38.460 through surveys, through diagnostics, to assess, 38 00:01:38.460 --> 00:01:40.560 what are the gaps that we have? 39 00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:44.340 Where do we need to lean in most in order to really 40 00:01:44.340 --> 00:01:46.560 get all of our leaders able to lead 41 00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:48.630 with head, heart, and hands? 42 00:01:48.630 --> 00:01:50.880 So that's the starting point, that reflection. 43 00:01:50.880 --> 00:01:54.660 Then the second one is make sure you integrate learning 44 00:01:54.660 --> 00:01:58.860 deeply into the real work of those teams. 45 00:01:58.860 --> 00:02:00.630 It's not about just sending them off 46 00:02:00.630 --> 00:02:03.570 to some academy somewhere, bring the learning 47 00:02:03.570 --> 00:02:05.130 real-time to the teams. 48 00:02:05.130 --> 00:02:08.730 Immersive experiential things around gaming, 49 00:02:08.730 --> 00:02:11.970 around using different simulations 50 00:02:11.970 --> 00:02:14.880 and different experiential learning techniques. 51 00:02:14.880 --> 00:02:16.320 And then the third one is to make sure 52 00:02:16.320 --> 00:02:20.370 you're continuously measuring and monitoring the progress, 53 00:02:20.370 --> 00:02:21.930 that you're delivering outcomes 54 00:02:21.930 --> 00:02:24.573 while you're upskilling your team.
