*Focus Shift: From Soloist to Conductor*
Thirty years ago, Leadership was all about Soloist - The One who could do everything independently.
Today, Leadership is more akin to being a Conductor - the One who directs everyone in the right direction creating a harmonious Symphony.
*The Personal Development Shift: From Goals to Growth*
Redirect your attention to Growth, prioritizing it over Goals.
Focus on :
* Attitude
* Leadership Skills
* Strong Relationships
* And Empowering Others
*The Cost Shift: From Perks to Price*
Great Leaders Lead not to Receive, but to Give.
They Act and do more than Others. They Confront Uncertainty and Doubt, Clearing the path for Others.
*The Relational Shift: From Pleasing People to Challenging People*
Leadership, by definition, means Challenging others to go Beyond their Comfort Zone.
And people don’t like to be Uncomfortable.
*The Abundance Shift: Maintaining vs Creating*
In a changing world, Balance maintain Best Practices with Creating.
Leaders should encourage Employees to move Beyond Comfort.
Shift Your Mind from “I Do what I have always Done” to "What if I attempts to Think Out of the Box?"
*The Reproduction Shift: Ladder-Climbing to Ladder-Building*
In the 80s, it was about Climbing the Ladder.
Then it shifted to helping others Climb.
Now, it's about helping others Climb even higher.
Next step: becoming Ladder-Builders : "Can I help them build their own Ladder?"
*The Communication Shift: From Directing to Connecting*
The Leaders of Tomorrow are the Leaders who Connect Today : they are Trustful and Talkative, they Listen, they ask Questions, and they have Answers.
Become one of Them,
Become a Connector.
*The Improvement Shift: From Team Uniformity to Team Diversity*
Diversity, according to Malcolm FORBES, is
“The Art of Thinking Independently Together.”
And it is the Hallmark of a Great Leader.
*Influence Shift: From Positional to Moral Authority*
XIst century was the Age of Virtuous Leadership.
Holding a Leadership position does not automatically grant authority.
We are more likely to leave our jobs if our leaders lack Moral Authority.
Strive for moral Authority.
*Impact Shift: From Trained Leaders to Transformational Leaders*
Trained Leaders follow Guidelines,
While Transformational Leaders Inspire Change through their very own Existence.
Be the Change you want to See.
*The Passion Shift: From Career to Calling*
Three Types of people in the World:
* Job doers
* Career seekers
* And those with a Calling.
Great Leaders emerge from the Third category. It's not about emulating idols
But being Unable to be Anything Else.
Your Calling is Never just about You, but also about the World.
