What type of Leadership will succeed in 2021?

2020’s leaders needed self awareness, vulnerability, empathy and compassion in spades! (McKinsey)

But what type of leadership will be best positioned to build back better and create a more equitable and inclusive society for us all?

Is it more of the same or something different?

  • I predict it’s both!

Having a vaccine, doesn’t mean we are all vaccinated - that takes time!

Here are my top 3 tips for the type of leadership we will need to capitalise on the opportunities 2021 presents.

GRIT and RESILIENCE: our old world is not returning.

  • We will need to push through, persevere & learn to sustainably thrive.

AGILITY in AMBIGUITY: growth & profit will be the prize for those who create a BETTER and more INCLUSIVE normal for more of us.

  • Leading inclusive thriving teams will enable you to capture their collective intelligence and commitment to creating a new and better future.

LEAD SUSTAINABLE HIGH PERFORMANCE: both marathon runners and sprinters know - RECOVERY & REFUELING are critical to sustaining performance.

  • The same is true for our BRAINS. 2020 has taken a toll on our mental reserves - 2021 will require us to nurture our precious ‘tool of trade’.

Conscious Collective Leaders are uniquely positioned to create inclusive thriving teams and innovation cultures.

These leaders have 4 critical skills which generate Collective IQ™, Wellbeing, Belonging, Creativity and Social Cohesion. And couldn’t we all benefit with a lot more of those ingredients in 2021?

At I LEAD Consulting we enable diverse teams, Inclusive Leaders and Collective Cultures to achieve the highest degree of performance and impact.
