Getting the BIG picture - the overview leads to seeing the connection between. This is a great skill to have, especially for leaders - this takes the ability to ASK BIG QUESTIONS!
The Inner Feeling of Inner Peace & Being Consciousness - help to ask big, bold questions in your business or career - as a Successful CEO with integrity & heart, and this is what organizations, people & the world deeply need, at the moment in a time of change!
When I was developing education and courses for leaders, I often met leaders who needed a more ground-rooted - taking a stand solution in their work as a leader/CEO/chief.
They needed guidelines on how to become a leader with an integrity whole-orientated human approach, balancing trust and authority, in how they pursue their jobs, as a leader.
There is an invisible, yet strong correlation between these elements, and it can look like this:
As a leader, especially in change - I have seen it again and again - we must understand that:

I often hear leaders talking about their goals, and about their businesses reaching exceptional results. The problem is that they often get stuck on how to solve the biggest challenges, and how to create followership from their employees; It's not just a title that makes the big difference, it's the personality - which brings another kind of attribute into how leaders do it.
It's a Shift of Mindset - leaders need to learn how to really get a deeper understanding, of the psychology behind how to be the leader that employees really want to follow and can trust.
A coaching culture will bring out the best - in both leaders and employees, and it will allow taking risks, and walk new, unexperienced roads - anyway we are all in a mess, and these times of chaos call for structured and new ways of doing what we know, combined with all the new we yet now know, in our jobs and private lives.
Asking questions way beyond our imagination will bring in all the opportunities that lie in a change - it's about enjoying that NOW is the time to set our footprints on the future, and embrace the chaotic situation; that contains all the answers we all ask ourselves.

2 年You make an excellent point, Helle Ottesen "It's a Shift of Mindset - leaders need to learn how to really get a deeper understanding, of the psychology behind how to be the leader that employees really want to follow and can trust." When I was a Social Psychology Professor, I became a "Management Consultant." In hindsight, I would have called myself an "Executive Coach," because I focused on the "soft" leadership skills that you describe. When people follow because they want to (instead of have to), morale, energy, and enthusiasm are improved. In 2022, old-fashioned "management" styles have helped to cause the "Great Resignation."

2 年Words of wisdom, Helle! Many people have made similar observations that support your thoughts... from the best business experts of the 20th Century (W. Edwards Deming, Peter Drucker, Jack Welch) to the new wave of social media thought leaders (Simon Sinek, Jay Shetty and Gary V. etc.) but less often does anyone offer HOW to implement "integrity with a whole-orientated human approach, balancing trust and authority". An easy and effective option is to develop and commit to a clear and concise MEVPIV (Mission, Ethos, Vision, Purpose, Identity and Values statements). This sets the foundation for potent corporate culture and optimal employee engagement that permeates through planning and eliminates the chaos (as well as a lot of unnecessary meetings). ??
