The Essentials of Leadership

The human tragedy and economic devastation that recent world events have bestowed on mankind, forces all to profoundly reflect on how we rebuild the future. In facing this challenge, the role of leadership has never been more critical to regenerate, repair and restore human sustainability. Unpredictability, uncertainty and chaos have become the “new normal” in the leadership environment. The ’New Normal’ has reinforced our thinking that leadership is not solely concerned with immediacy, growth and profitability, rather in these unprecedented times it requires a broader perspective – a Long Eye and a Short Eye

This ‘holistic approach” demands praxis, pragmatism and indeed ‘prophecy’ to embrace digital transformations, agility in action and innovatively inspiring. Whilst the traditional leadership qualities remain fundamental, dealing with crisis has emerged as an area for serious consideration for leadership to address. In the new normal “crisis does not build leadership characteristics, rather it reveals the qualities that underpin it”.
