Developing purposeful Leadership in the organisation

In today's VUCA World where change, complexity and unpredictability have become the constant rather than the variable, organisations that navigate these dimensions with agility and a retained sense of purpose, vision and values are those in which decision making is decentralised and internal lean structures are preferred.

Recent white papers, research findings and reports pinpoint the incremental importance placed by employees on authentic leaders that act as connectors within the ever changing company's eco-system.

At the heart of business in today's World of Work, leadership behaviour and impact are driven by:

• Purpose. Being clear about one's own purpose is a necessity to help others find their own. A Leader's -Why- translates into clear direction and functions as a lever for greater motivation towards achieving common goals.

As Leader, what drives you in life ? What do you want to contribute to?

• Legacy. Purposeful leadership is people-driven rather than ego-driven. Purposeful leaders look for ways to serve their people and improve their lives through meaningful work.

• Clarity about their role. Identifying one's purpose can help define a leader's role. Purposeful leaders strive to create an environment in which others can be successful, grow and advance in alignment with the company's journey to growth..

• Values-driven. Purposeful leaders follow a set of morals, ethical behaviour and they are transparent about the strategic direction of the organisation. They have integrity and build trust.

• Authenticity. Purposeful leaders are real, genuinely interested in their people and the environment they are forging for them to work in; they connect with people across the board, aiming to break down silos and internal fragmentation, and elevating internal communication. They inspire, lift and care for the people because they know that this is the only way towards sustainable growth.

How are you contributing to create an environment in which others can thrive and flourish?
