These Unsteady Times ??

The world seems determined to thwart our focus. If indeed it wants us spinning and distracted, let’s concede victory.

But there’s work demanding to be done.

And what I’m hearing consistently from leaders across industries is some version of:

“I’m struggling to keep my own head above water these days - so how can I meaningfully be there for my team?”

And I tell them it’s time for a change. In what we collectively believe it’s a leader’s job to do in the face of so much change.

I recently published a piece in Fast Company in which I share a new framework for leading change in today’s world.

In fact, I created this free download to summarize in a single page how we need to reshape the leader’s role. Because we’re carrying the weight of the world where we need to release it.

We need, for example, to stop believing we’re responsible for intuitively knowing the best way forward and see, instead, the imperative to cultivate that knowledge with our teams.

We need to stop thinking we owe anyone an apology for all the chaos - that we need to find ways to reduce or mitigate it; instead we need to help people connect the dots and make more sense of it.

We need to let go of believing we’ve got to build plans that are tight - and instead let’s give ourselves permission to be agile. To experiment and learn and [bleep] up and learn some more.

And on and one.

Grab the one pager below for the full view. And let me know what you think.

Hang in there. You’ve got this!

I see a leaders role is to use the members of their team and let them create the future. Identify the talents team members bring to the table and let them perform.
