How Solid is the Ground You’re Standing On?

Leadership in the new normal… (part one)

The New Normal…?

This week I hosted the first of a series of calls to explore Leadership in the ‘new normal’. These are conversations with people who want to expand their leadership capabilities and see more about what it means to be a leader no matter how they define that or what ‘role’ they are in.

The first exploration-and maybe we should be calling it step one on the ‘five step process’ with the same title ;-) ), was the exploration of what is it that makes us grounded as a leader?

What creates your solid foundation no matter what?

The context of the series is, as you can guess, this thing we’re calling ‘the new normal’, and, yes, we can dissect, from an intellectual perspective, what it is and what we want it to be in some not-yet-created future…

…but we also live in times when it’s more evident than ever that change is a feature of life, that it’s ever-present, no matter whether we experience it or not-change is like season, we suddenly look up and it’s autumn, or we realise it’s time to turn down the heating-the change is there and then, sometimes, we notice it.
