Why Leadership Development matters
The ever-increasing globalisation and organisational complexity over the last decade, has led to new challenges and demands:
- We live in a Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous (VUCA) world
- The needs of our workforce are increasingly diverse as the new generation have very different expectations of their leaders and the organisation’s they work for. Never before have we seen five-generations working alongside one another, which in itself brings added challenges and need for a more flexible and agile leadership approach
- The pace of change is faster than ever before and with many employees feeling fatigued and burned out as a result of the last few years, building and sustaining agile teams require leaders to develop an empathetic leadership approach
- Performance and productivity expectations are continually growing and at the same time resources are fewer
- Leadership is no longer a skill requirement of the C-Suite, leaders are required at all levels of an organisation and require the skills to influence up and across an organisation
Leadership is now more demanding than ever before, with leaders required to engage, inspire and motivate their people to achieve, despite the complexity and uncertainty they often face.
Developing leadership skills and abilities has never been more important as leaders need to be able to make meaningful relationships with colleagues, clients, and stakeholders, from diverse backgrounds and cultures.
Many people are promoted to a leadership role, because they are excel in their field of expertise, but that does not necessarily mean they are have the higher levels of self-awareness of an emotionally intelligent leader.
