Over the years working in the field of leadership development, we have come across many inspiring concepts and definitions of leadership.
Our experience is that these concepts often don’t build on each other and create confusion and misunderstanding: what is leadership really?
Continuous transition has become the new standard. Standing still is treading backwards. Many leaders struggle to find an answer to the question of how they can give their results a new and sustainable impulse. How do you create a different and deeper kind of focus, increase adaptive capabilities and transitions succeed?
Welcome to the VUCA* world, where the speed of change and uncertainty is just increasing. Sometimes the uncertainty and intensity peaks, as is currently the case with the corona crisis.
The world needs the best version of you. Especially now, in these turbulent times, you need full brain power, emotional agility, a clear purpose and lots of energy. We believe it matters to invest in thrivability, the ability to thrive!
This era will be remembered as the darkest or finest hour for many organizations. Climate change, viruses and increasing divides between people, are leading to merciless global events. These events grow the public awareness that humanity and nature are the most precious gifts we have. They expose the weaknesses of a global economic system, which grows economies for corporate profits only. We believe that this system needs to change to help us in the future. Businesses need to transform towards people-driven, societally relevant, and environmentally friendly organizations, delivering ‘meaningful value’. Creating value needs to touch more levels than just the bottom line: business-, growth- and societal level.
