Inspiring Leadership Through Agility: The How of Leadership

In our business world of increasingly flat organizations, rapid change and the rise of the "purpose economy," inspiration is a most important resource to be managed in modern work. The most inspiring companies are able to deliver the highest levels of performance through sustainable inspiration. In this session, we offer that the building blocks of sustainable inspiration exist in leadership. Leaders knowing themselves, what a situation requires, and how to enact the right blend of styles and behaviors dynamically inspires performance. Leadership today requires focus and awareness, immediate and slight course corrections and consistent reflection and learning. The Leader Guide Framework is based on long-standing situational leadership theory and application, from Aristotle to modern psychology, this evidence-based framework produces inspiring performance for leaders, teams and entire organizations.
