- If you, like us, believe that the world
needs generative leaders, the question then is,
well, how do we develop them?
When you look across your organization, what I would say,
and maybe we do a little thought experiment here,
just take a moment and think,
what is it that I naturally lead with myself?
Do I naturally lead with my head?
Am I more of a visionary, a strategist?
Do I lead with my hands?
Am I the type of person that loves
to get in there and get things done?
Or am I someone who leads with my heart,
inspiring and empowering people?
So you've probably got that image in your head
of the type of leader you are.
And what I would say, if we had more time, we could think
about the teams that you're leading,
the leadership teams across your organizations.
And what we would find is a mix
of leaders with different strengths.
The data would suggest it will be a bit more biased
towards the head and hands,
with a weaker set of heart attributes,
but we would still find a mix.
And so then you think, okay well, what would we do?
How would we develop leaders that truly have
head, heart, and hands capabilities?
And here, I'll just leave you with three quick thoughts.
The first one is to reflect deeply.
Think about the vision you have for your company,
think about the capabilities that you need
from your leaders, those heart and head and hands
capabilities we've been talking about.
And then also go through some sort of a process,
through surveys, through diagnostics, to assess,
what are the gaps that we have?
Where do we need to lean in most in order to really
get all of our leaders able to lead
with head, heart, and hands?
So that's the starting point, that reflection.
Then the second one is make sure you integrate learning
deeply into the real work of those teams.
It's not about just sending them off
to some academy somewhere, bring the learning
real-time to the teams.
Immersive experiential things around gaming,
around using different simulations
and different experiential learning techniques.
And then the third one is to make sure
you're continuously measuring and monitoring the progress,
that you're delivering outcomes
while you're upskilling your team.
