In today's fast-paced and competitive business landscape, the importance of effective leadership cannot be overstated. A skilled leader not only guides their team toward achieving organizational goals but also fosters a culture of collaboration, innovation, and growth. However, leadership is not an innate trait; it requires cultivation and development. This is where leadership training steps in as a crucial component in shaping successful leaders within the workplace. #leadership #leadershipskills #leadershipdevelopment #audacityspeakers

Dear Network, if you are interested to get some insights on how we collaborate with our clients to put into practice what we call Leader Selection Science you should give this a read ... Reliable and actionable leadership advice is more needed than ever   Conventional methods of selecting and developing leaders don't deliver the results hoped for. Leadership appointments result in 60% (or less) of appointments being successful. Almost as many appointments fail as succeed. In parallel, research shows that only 10% of leadership development has a business impact.   Nevertheless, the demand for effective leadership across the organisation has never been more crucial.   Where most approaches are lacking methodology, deep contextualization, and focus on leadership behaviors in scope for effective change and anchoring in the real work context, MU’s approach is grounded in research and best practices while we work closely with our clients to understand their unique challenges and opportunities.   Read more about MUs Leadership Advisory here: https://lnkd.in/eJnp6YX4

Many people have an intuitive belief that successful leaders have similar general traits, but is that true? Successful CEOs are often said to have certain traits and to behave in a certain way. However, such assertions do not hold up to real-world scrutiny. In the real world, each CEO succeeds, or not, in a unique context. So, there can be no set of general traits or ways of working that will lead to his or her success. In our ‘The Successful CEO’ series, Christian Nyhlèn, the CEO of Krinova Incubator & Science Park and MU’s CEO, Richard Moore, look at how you, the CEO, can be assured to succeed. In this article, they are joined by the CEO of Smart DCC, Angus Flett and the leadership development expert David Deegan who is the Executive Development Director at Executive Development at Cranfield School of Management. Read the article here: https://lnkd.in/dxwkAiyt

Do you want to give leaders in your organisation the skillset to lead effectively and maximise their potential? Come and join me on the 30th September at the first ever leadership conference in Iasi, Romania. I will be heading out there to deliver a powerful session on how to act as a leader. Seeking and giving advice are central to effective leadership and decision making. Yet leaders seldom view them as practical skills they can learn and improve upon. Receiving guidance is often seen as the passive consumption of wisdom. And often advising is typically treated as a matter of “good judgment” - you either have it or you don’t, rather than a competency that needs to be mastered. My ‘I was Born to lead’ session is interactive and it shares the best way to create the right mindset for leaders, teams and organisations, with a focus on self improvement, authentic, inclusive and adaptive leadership. You will certainly be inspired. Book your ticket at https://revup.net #leadershipmastered #bethebestleader #leadershipskills

Thank you Ruth Spellman for interviewing me in your Reflections On Leadership research. I quote from Ruth’s report: “Leaders don’t need to be ‘at work’ all of the time and lighter moments and time spent socialising can pay huge dividends. Leaders can build bridges theough developing more personal styles of communication. Alison Lalieu, a leadership coach for middle to senior managers in Australia, says that ‘Communication is as important as breathing’. #leadershipresearch #communication #lesdershipineducation

Why Investing in Leadership Development Drives Success In today’s dynamic and competitive business landscape, strong leadership is no longer a luxury; it’s a necessity. Effective leaders inspire and motivate teams, foster innovation, and navigate complex challenges to achieve organisational goals. However the positive impact of leadership extends beyond qualitative measures; it demonstrably translates into increased profitability and improved manager performance, ultimately driving sustainable organisational success.

Studies confirm what we’ve long suspected: leadership skills atrophy as leaders climb beyond director-level positions. And Tasha Eurich's research shows that while 90% of us think we’re self-aware, only 10-15% of us are. What are the implications for your C-Suite? When they look to their teams for a reflection of how they are leading and what they need to be aware of, it’s like looking in a funhouse mirror—they get a distorted picture of reality. Currying favor, positioning, and competition between directors leaves your top leaders with no real feedback on how they are landing. They are left to guess—or worse—assume they are far more effective than they are. Leadership development is not only an investment for mid-level managers, it is critical to provide your senior-most leaders with real feedback to develop their self-awareness.

We're living in a fast-paced world, and for many CEOs, the last thing they have time for is personal and professional development. But good leaders know that to lead well, you must work on yourself first. As today’s business leaders continue to face unprecedented challenges, we’ve seen that what was considered good leadership a decade ago, simply isn’t good enough today. Beyond the Edges is a leadership programme that pushes CEOs beyond what is good enough. We’ve designed this course with Executive Coach Mike Bennetts (Deloitte CEO of the Year 2016) and renowned Corporate Anthropologist Michael Henderson, to develop a course for CEOs of today and the future. It is a CEO development programme like no other. To express your interest in attending, email beyondtheedges@outwardbound.co.nz
