Digital transformation and all its technologies are difficult for most people who grew up and were educated in an industrial-age-type setting.
Origen: Can You Lead the Age of Agile?
2 dimension where great leaders have an eye on whilst bad leaders just ignore them successfully.
The first dimension is Vision and Clarity: being at the starting line of the digital era, it’s time to focus less on the organization’s but finally more on the individual talent’s vision and clarity. … We don’t break down the big picture vision into their personal north star!
The second dimension is on mindset: …an entrepreneurial mindset and most importantly a growth mindset.
So which skills do successful leaders need in order to navigate the organization of the future and lead the age of agile?
…the skills needed to succeed in the organization of the future are so basic, that we all initially had them, we were born with them, but over the course of our “education” we were taught how to get rid of them.
1) visioning – …being able to construct some new future on a canvas and focus your mind on that…
2) growth mindset – …being willing and hungry to learn and to see a challenge as an opportunity to grow…
3) collaborative problem solving – …how to solve problems, how to approach them from different angles and how to solve them collectively with others…
4) agile way of working – …for challenging status quo, for adopting quickly, for short development cycles, for agile way of working, for changing our mind and procedures if the market changed…
5) business model thinking – …thinking like an entrepreneur, constantly looking at what’s going on from a business model perspective… it will be critical that it is installed in every department…
…So it’s time now for the truly great leaders who understand how to use their full people potential and who are brave enough to focused on the human dimension rather than the technology.
