Your inner beliefs determine your leadership style

Highly effective leaders deliver sustainable competitive advantage. But is your leadership style suited to the VUCA world? Will it deliver high performance through inevitable change?

To answer these questions, you must first understand how you operate as a leader. Your internal assumptions dictate your behavior – and this determines whether your style of leadership is productive. If you understand how your inner thoughts translate into action, you can use this knowledge to affect your behavior and be more effective as a leader.

Effective leaders react appropriately and take a creative approach.

Do you have the creative competencies to lead effectively?

Creative competencies empower you to be inspirational, lead with vision, and provide integrity and courage through all challenges. You’ll seek to develop yourself and others, and improve organizational systems as you deliver improving results.

Do you harness your reactive tendencies to lead appropriately?

Reactive tendencies dictate caution over creativity, and self-protection over productive engagement. You may find that you limit development of yourself and others, and results achieved are because of control rather than engagement and collaboration.
