Opening up your leadership to new possibilities
Our exercise of leadership often unfolds unconsciously amidst the highs and lows of our personal and organizational lives. Yet, we hold the power to uplift and accelerate our leadership growth significantly by cultivating self-awareness of how we exercise leadership. This article outlines a pathway that guides you to become more conscious of your actions and their impact and can empower you to accelerate this growth. It provides a tool to place you firmly in control of your leadership growth, giving you the power to shape your leadership journey. ???
The diagram below illustrates the leadership journey across four developmental phases on the vertical axis, from Dominating to Stewarding under Orientation. The horizontal axis describes the Outcomes in two categories: Passive Following and Active Initiation. Each level is enabled by a different Approach ranging from Control to Partnership.
?Our leadership journey is not a mere external display of leadership. It's a transformative process that harbours the potential for personal growth and the opportunity to enhance our effectiveness in multiple facets of life. This perspective holds the promise of profound change that can redefine your leadership journey and amplify your influence.
A description of the developmental stages
Our leadership Orientation is shaped by assumptions, beliefs, and mindsets that shape our perspective on leadership. It is also influenced by our experiences with others—from an early age and beyond—which can set self-perceived boundaries on what we believe we can achieve.

5 个月I like this Hubert!! The more I woek in leadership the more I’m convinced it is living in the tension of opposites which I see embedded within your thinking. Those who embrace the tension and realize they must coexist will become good leaders. Those who try to eliminate the tension by eliminating one side or the other don’t. Thanks for sharing.
