Here we will be discussing:
- What is the meaning of value-based leadership and how does that differ from other forms of leadership?
- How does a leader demonstrate in the best way possible?
- Nowadays, people are less reflective as they get so consumed in different activities and other devices that are demanding their attention. This is something that you need to very deliberate about. Isn’t it actually separating you to be reflective because it almost counters to the pervasive culture?
- It is right that we celebrate frenetic activity when we are in work. This helps you separate activity from productivity and it is counted as one of the greatest challenges to a leader; to not fall into that trap of feeling comfortable as there is so much going on.
- There is always a need for an element of self-awareness and you can’t be a self-aware person without being self-reflective. One is the journey to the other.
It is a challenge for the organizations – how they can organize themselves to provide some of the additional value to their employees. The changing structure of work is the fact that now people can live and operate pretty much wherever they want to be. They can be completely mobile and don’t have to be tied to a place or a physical building. All of these things have really challenged leadership. It’s up to you how you harness all the benefits of this collapsing in chaos!
It’s up to you – what to choose! Either, you can have thousands of people stuck in one building and be completely disconnected with them or thousands of people spread around the world, connected effectively.
Every single person understands how their job contributes to the overall success of the organization. The organization must see and communicate with the people and make them understand that how they are playing an essential part in the success of the company.
