Series 1: You and your skills

Episode 2: Leadership skills and mindsets

We keep saying that the world around us is changing, but in many ways, we continue to lead, engage and develop our people like we did in the 1980’s.

If we are going to lead our people to be more agile, productive, collaborative and innovative then we need to do things differently.

What we’ll cover:

  • What does your team need from you?
  • The new leadership skills and mindsets
  • You and your development as a leader

TIME FOR SOME REFLECTION

Take the Disruptive Leaders Diagnsotic

It will help you learn more about your style of leading and what you can do to improve so you can help your people thrive in a disrupted world.

This diagnostic will ask questions about how you operate as a people leader. When you’ve completed it, we will share some practical tips on how you can develop. And it will only take you a few minutes to complete!

Don’t forget to update your Programme workbook with your thoughts for the other reflection exercises in this Episode.

Challenge your thinking to move away from the ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach to how you treat your team members. Flip the card to see some suggestions.

1. I show appreciation to my team in different ways depending on their personality and preferences.

2. I make fair decisions based on the individual and the circumstances rather than treating everyone the same.

3. I encourage my team to develop in ways that work for them e.g. mentoring, online learning, shadowing etc.

4. I get to know my team really well so that I know their talents and strengths.
