Like people, organizations are diverse and experience ongoing change. Because of this, different organizations benefit from different leadership styles at different stages of their lives. Leaders who understand their own strengths, weaknesses, and personalities recognize which type of field will benefit most from their particular leadership style. This ability benefits both organization and leaders themselves.
If you want to join the next generation of leaders, prepare to face formidable challenges. Human leaders – the ninth type of leader – are future-oriented. Digitally savvy and ready to experiment in rapidly changing environments, they’re brilliant at problem-solving. They’re also adept at mitigating the social and environmental impacts of their organizations.
As we watch corporate and political leaders navigate the obstacles of the present day, we are struck by how many leaders are truly lousy. Definition of a Lousy Leader, an intimidator who accuses, who doesn’t listen, is not organized, presents no vision, does not build relationships, takes credit for everyone’s work, does not motivate, and is an impromptu speaker. What are the secrets of lousy leaders? What do lousy leaders all have in common?
Finally, perhaps the most important quality of a leader is his or her ability to inspire and motivate others. In some ways all of the above serve to do this, but the most inspiring quality of all is to practise what you preach. Leading by example is the most effective way to convey integrity, commitment, and vision – and to transmit enthusiasm and loyalty to others.

This presentation is a summary of section 2 (of 6) of the book "The 360º Leader" by best-selling author John C Maxwell. Challenges and solutions include:
* Tension (the pressure of being caught in the middle),
* Frustration (following an ineffective leader),
* Multi-Hat (one person – demands and expectations from all quarters),
* Ego (being hidden in the middle),
* Fulfillment (stuck in the middle, when would rather be in front),
* Vision (how to champion it when you did not create it),
* Influence (influencing others whom you do not manage).

How to Begin
by Michael Bungay Stanier
Synopsis
How to Begin (2022) argues that you unlock your greatness by working on the hard things. The things that matter. Not to your partner, friends, or family – but to you. The hardest part isn’t the work itself, though. It’s identifying the kinds of projects that are worth investing your time in. Projects which give your life meaning. And that’s what this book is really about: helping you discover worthy goals
Who is it for?
• Self-improvers stuck in a rut
• Thinkers and doers
• Anyone who wants to live their best life
What’s in it for me?
Tools to help you travel your own path.
Many self-help books are like trains: they travel a pre-established route toward a known destination. The journey’s planned out and the book in your hands, or on your screen, is your ticket. You just have to get on.
And you know what? That’s often the best way to travel. You don’t always need to figure everything out for yourself. Good advice from experts can be the fastest way to get where you want to go.
Let's say you generally try to eat a balanced and nutritious diet. It keeps you healthy and energetic, and you tend to be more productive and in a better mood when you pass on the chili-cheese French fries and opt for the spinach salad. But being healthy and energetic isn’t really your life goal. It’s more like a means to an end – it helps you do the other things you care about. So, you don’t really need to know everything there is to know about nutrition. You don’t need to know why spinach is good for you. You can reap the rewards of healthy eating – energy, productivity, and all the rest – by doing what the experts say you should do.
How To Begin, by Michael Bungay Stanier, take a different approach. Unlike most self-help experts, Stanier doesn’t merely offer instructions for how to live your life. Stanier understands that no one can tell us what matters to us. We have to beat our own paths because the path that leads you to deep fulfillment might be a dead-end for me–and vice versa.
In other words, these do not train tickets. They don’t identify a “final destination” that we all should aim for. We each have our own personal destinations – our own goals. Precisely what those goals are will vary person to person. What shouldn’t vary, however, is the qualities those goals possess. It’s the qualities that your goals possess, not what your goals are, that will make them, to quote Stanier, “Worthy Goals.”
Life is short and, as far as we know, we only get one shot at it. There isn’t time to pursue dead ends. That’s why we owe it to ourselves to get these big goals right.
And that’s exactly what we’re going to be doing in these blinks. So, let's take a look at the tools that can help you plot a path toward your Worthy Goal.
Along the way, you’ll also learn
• What makes a Worthy Goal truly worth your time;
• How to stress-test big life projects before committing to them; and
• When to call it quits on one project and start an
Synopsis
People Skills (1979) is a guidebook to learning effective communication skills. It illuminates the conversational roadblocks that impede good communication and damage relationships – and offers alternative methods for listening, asserting, and handling conflict.
Who is it for?
• Anyone interested in improving communication at home or at work
• People who aspire to become better listeners
• Those striving to be assertive rather than submissive or aggressive
What’s in it for me?
Improve your personal and professional relationships with time-tested communication techniques.
Communication is the lifeblood of any relationship. Whether it’s with friends, colleagues, family, or romantic partners, people experience deeper satisfaction because of effective communication.
And yet most people aren’t great communicators. We’ve learned and developed communication habits and patterns that create interpersonal gaps and inhibit our ability to truly understand and connect with others.
The good news is that you’re not doomed to repeat the communication habits that aren’t serving you. These blinks will explore how you can actively change for the better by replacing dysfunctional habits with new and effective communication skills.
In these blinks, you’ll learn
• how to identify and eliminate conversational roadblocks;
• how to practice reflective listening;
• constructive ways to confront others;
• how to reduce defensiveness in others; and
• a process to resolve conflicts collaboratively.
Before learning new communication skills, correct poor conversational habits.
From an early age, they taught most of us flawed ways of relating to those around us–things like being superficial, hiding our feelings, and manipulating others to get what we want. These tendencies are habitual and learned, usually from well-intentioned people who were also given inadequate communication tools. And that means they can be unlearned and replaced – once we identify them.
Think about a time you’ve entered into an interpersonal exchange, determined to make it a successful one – and then found yourself disappointed afterward. Maybe you told yourself you’d be kind and gentle with your parents before a holiday visit. But as soon as they started criticizing you, you took the bait and argued for an hour.
If you’ve had an experience like this, you’re not alone. Most people yearn for better communication than they typically achieve. Yet, an estimated 90 percent of the time, they spoil conversations with 12 common communication roadblocks. These tend to make people either more compliant or argumentative; they also undermine the self-esteem of all parties involved and thwart the self-determination of the person who’s sharing their problem.
There are three major roadblock categories. First up? Judging. You judge when you criticize, name-call, or diagnose the person you’re talking to – when you play armchair psychologist and analyze their behavior. Judging others as we
Synopsis
The Metabolism Reset Diet (2019) is a new, four-week cleanse diet designed to heal damage to your liver, stimulate your metabolism, and promote rapid weight loss. These blinks explain the science behind the program by taking a deep dive into the mysterious life of your liver. They show why your liver is so important for your health, how it can become overloaded with fat, and the simple steps you can take to clean and restore your liver to optimal health.
Who is it for?
• Dieters who want to escape the endless cycle of dieting
• Middle-aged people who want to reverse the trend of weight gain and low energy
• Anyone who wants to lose weight and improve their health
What’s in it for me?
Achieve optimal liver function to lose weight and get healthy fast.
Are you tired of grueling diets that don’t work and never end? Do you find dieting a constant struggle against calories, cravings, and hunger?
If so, do yourself a favour and stop torturing yourself. Most likely, your diet isn’t working and may even be harming your health. Most fad diets promote unhealthy, short-term weight loss by restricting the fuel and nutrients that your body needs. These diets are counterproductive because they often exacerbate the core problem – your metabolism.
Thankfully, there’s a new way to improve your health and get rid of those unwanted inches for good, and it doesn’t involve counting calories and spending hours at the gym each day. The key is to revamp your metabolism by detoxing your liver so it can function properly again.
Our modern, high-intake, heavily processed diets place a lot of stress on our livers. They tend to get clogged with waste that prevents them from processing energy efficiently. These blinks outline a simple program to wake up your liver’s innate healing powers and cleanse it of all that gunk.
This program is the Metabolic Reset Diet – the new, sensational diet cleanse devised by the renowned physician Dr. Christianson and his team at Integrative Health. Based on evidence from clinical trials involving tens of thousands of participants, Dr. Christianson has created a program to help you not only lose weight but heal your liver and take back control of your health.
So, what are you waiting for? You have the power to turn back the clock on aging, optimize your health, and feel better than you’ve felt in years.
Synopsis
The Daily Laws (2021) is a compendium of 366 rules for life, covering everything from seduction and power to the discovery of your life’s great task. It distills the insights author Robert Greene has uncovered in a series of best-selling books spanning 22 years of word.
Who is it for?
• Fans of Robert Greene’s best-selling work
• People who’ve lost touch with their sense of purpose and drive
• Anyone in need of a strong dose of wisdom
What's in it for me?
A roadmap to the realities of the modern world.
• Imagine life as it used to be for our distant ancestors.
• Here, in this wilderness, food is always scarce. Danger is everywhere. The weather can shift in a second. A predator could be crouched in the grass. Everywhere there are threats and obstacles. One bad decision, one moment of inattentiveness, and that’s it – game over. Here, failing to pay attention to reality means, at best, injury and, at worst, death. The brain evolved to keep us alive in this environment. It’s a tool, a tool for navigating a perilous reality – the reality of hunting and gathering and avoiding the jaws of saber-toothed tigers.
• Fast-forward to today. There’s food on the table. We live in cities, sheltered from the elements. The saber-toothed tigers are long dead. But we’ve still got the same tool in our head, a brain that evolved over the course of thousands of years to help us navigate a reality that we can now only imagine.
• Today, unlike our ancestors, we can indulge in fantasies and daydreams. We can let our guard down, and our environment probably won’t kill us. Today, the main threats we face are interpersonal, psychological, posed by other people rather than predators.
• These dangers are subtler than the dangers of old. It’s possible, even, to ignore them, to pretend they don’t exist. It’s possible, in other words, to detach from reality – to become naive. But the dangers are very much there. And you ignore them at your peril.
• The purpose of these blinks is to bring you into intimate contact with the reality we live in now.
• So let’s get into it and take a quick trip through The Daily Laws, by Robert Greene.
Atlas of the Heart (2021) is a guide to understanding your emotions and learning how to regulate them. Everyone experiences strong emotions, but most people can’t identify what it is they’re feeling, or work out where the feelings come from. Developing your emotional vocabulary will transform your relationship to yourself, and the people around you.
Who is it for?
• Curious adventurers interested in exploring their own emotional landscapes
• Anyone who feels flooded by painful emotions that they can’t understand or control
• Fans of Brené Brown’s work wanting to learn more about her latest insightful theories of emotion
What’s in it for me?
Learn to navigate your own emotional map.
Imagine you’re stumbling around in the dark, in an unfamiliar city, trying to find your way to a bright light twinkling on a distant hill. You see dark shapes that you think you recognize, but you’re not quite sure what they are. You know you want to get to that light, but the way there involves crossing deep gorges and climbing menacing hills. And there’s no clear path in sight.
You might feel lost like this – without a clear sense of where you really are in your emotional landscape. You might struggle to even name your feelings. Or to understand feelings that come on strongly. Like why is it that that particular person always pushes your buttons? Is there a deeper meaning to the emotions that you’re feeling, or is it just a sign that you need to get some rest?
You want to understand, but the answers to those questions lie just out of reach, in that foggy darkness. And in your search for answers, you’re rocked by emotions, blown off course, left feeling lost and bewildered, and sometimes in despair. You know you want to get to a place where you feel grounded, and content – but it seems elusive, like that bright light on the hill: always around that next bend, never coming closer in view.
Nowadays, it’s becoming more common to talk about emotions. Talk shows now use words like “trauma” regularly, and we can talk about experiences of vulnerability and depression much more openly than we used to. But do we really understand what these words mean? Can we recognize the difference between joy and happiness? What about shame and guilt?
We still have so much to learn about emotions. And that’s where Brené Brown comes in: she’s able to offer clarity on the things that shape our lives.
In these blinks, we’ll gain some orientation of our emotional landscapes with an atlas – the Atlas of the Heart. We’ll learn how to start navigating our feelings with more nuance and more clarity. So, let’s get into it!
In these blinks, you’ll learn
• why hopelessness and despair are the most dangerous emotions you can experience;
• How understanding your emotions will transform your relationships; and
• why happiness and joy are not the same.
Synopsis
Stolen Focus (2022) begins with author Johann Hari experiencing a common problem: his attention span is diminishing. He can’t seem to focus on much outside of Twitter and online news. Over three years, Hari tries to identify the root causes of this problem. He uncovers a collective attention crisis that’s affecting the entire globe. From social media to the culture of productivity, Hari identifies the culprits behind our stolen focus – and wonders if, and how, we can claim it back.
Who is it for?
• Anyone who feels like they just can’t concentrate the way they used to
• Multitaskers with brimming to-do lists who still feel like they get little done
• Anyone scrolling through social media while they’re reading this!
What’s in it for me?
The tale of how we lost the ability to focus – and how we can get it back.
We’ve all been there. You sit down, ready for work, and you get a text. As you're texting back, a news alert appears – so you shift over to read what’s happening. But as you’re halfway through reading the headline, you get another ping: someone’s liked the photo that you posted last night. And after checking who it was, you realize they’ve also posted new photos . . . is that a new partner?! As you start swiping through the images, a Slack notification chimes. Wait, what were you doing again? Oh, right: work.
If you’re wondering what’s happened to your capacity for concentration, you’re not alone. Collectively, our attention spans seem to be dwindling at an alarming rate. And every year, there are more and more distractions and interruptions added to the pile.
Sadly, that’s not a coincidence. From Silicon Valley to the structure of the contemporary workplace, forces beyond our control are constantly working to deplete our ability to focus deeply and resist distraction.
But how did we get here? And is there any way to escape this dizzying attention spiral? These are the questions we’ll be covering in the blinks to Johann Hari’s Stolen Focus. So, set your devices to airplane mode, and try to give your full attention to these five blinks as we uncover the story of a crisis that’s reached a global scale.
you’ll learn
• how social media is actually designed to sap your focus;
• what 1950s animal experiments have to do with Instagram’s “like” button; and
• why spending less time at work might actually boost your productivity.
It’s not just you – everyone is struggling to focus.
If you are in your 20s and 30s, don't miss out on these points.
Carving-out specific time with small steps daily and regularly will help in the all-round development of your:

What’s in it for me?
Learn about and harness the power of regret.
“No regrets.” Chances are, you’ve heard this phrase more times than you can count. But what if I were to tell you that this approach to life–the no-regrets worldview–is totally wrong?
We shouldn’t stigmatize regret. We should embrace it. Regret has existed for as long as we have. It’s a completely normal emotion, and it deserves a place in everyone’s life. When done properly, looking backward can propel us forward–increasing our productivity, helping us find purpose, and leading us toward a more meaningful future. And there’s nothing regrettable about that.
you’ll learn
• what famous historical figure used regret to turn his life around;
• why Americans are more likely to feel regret than floss their teeth; and
• how to incorporate regret into your emotional portfolio.
Regret can change lives for the better–yours included.
On an April morning in 1888, Alfred Nobel woke up, opened the newspaper, and learned that he’d died. There it was in print–his obituary.
If that sounds confusing, just imagine how Alfred must have felt.
Of course, there’d been a mix-up. Turns out, Alfred’s older brother, Ludwig Nobel, was actually the one who had died–but the local press had mixed up the two siblings and published the wrong obituary. Because of this blunder, Alfred got the unique opportunity to see his legacy in print while he was still alive. And it wasn’t pretty.
“The Merchant of Death is dead,” blared the scathing headline. The obituary then condemned Alfred for inventing dynamite and other explosives that are notorious for fueling worldwide destruction. It cast him as a money-hungry, immoral man who had accumulated a fortune at the expense of others–criticizing his greed and celebrating his (mistaken) death.
As you might imagine, Alfred didn’t like what he saw. A very human emotion overcame all: regret. But rather than casting this feeling aside, as many people do, Alfred confronted his regret head-on and transformed it into something more meaningful. He used it as a catalyst for change–and his life was never the same from that moment forward.
Eight years later, when Alfred really died, his legacy was completely different. People weren’t celebrating his death; they were celebrating his life. Rather than being remembered as a “merchant of death,” Alfred is now renowned as a philanthropist who bettered humankind.
If you’re not familiar with the story, here’s why. In Alfred’s will, he bequeathed 94 percent of his fortune to the creation of a now-famous series of prizes to be awarded to people who’d conferred the "greatest benefit on humankind" in physics, chemistry, physiology, or medicine, literature, and peace.
As time-traveling storytellers, humans easily get swept away by regret.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
Artificial intelligence (AI) offers new opportunities to radically reinvent the way we do business. This study explores how CEOs and top decision makers around the world are responding to the transformative potential of AI.

2. WHAT’S IN IT FOR ME?
• What are great leaders like?
• Hardworking, success-oriented, capable of inspiring others to follow them – sure.
• Think about somebody who maintains complete control, for instance.
• That leader might be fantastic for a complex, sprawling organization – but
• The same person wouldn’t necessarily suit a creative organization, where collaboration is key.
• So what type of leader are you?
• Discover the inner workings of different leadership styles, so you can play to your strengths.
• By understanding this,
• You can overcome your weaknesses and seek out roles that play to your strengths.
• You can increase your chances of success and gain those senior positions you’ve always dreamed of.
3. ALPHA LEADERS
• Alpha leaders are charismatic, dedicated monarchs, charming, confident, strong personality
and striking.
• They like true monarchs, conduct themselves as if they’re the most important people in the
room. Inspiring, sure, also intimidating.
• Staff hang on every syllable they utter and worry over pleasing them.
• Alphas firmly believe in themselves and rule accordingly – with absolute control. This style
may seem egotistical, but alphas need that level of confidence.
• Alphas are future-focused. They know that it takes time to build a kingdom. This leads them
to invest in research and development that will broaden their portfolios even further.
4. ALPHA LEADERS
• Alphas are committed to the long game; and they’re also competitive.
• This means that they often stay with one business for decades, moving up the ranks over
time.
• But the age of the alpha is coming to a close. As the age of globalization fades away, business
empires become less attractive. Instead, we’re entering an era where the benefits of
inclusivity become more and more apparent. Most boards now question autocratic leadership
styles.
• Edit yourself:
• Need to relax your grip and become more collaborative.
• Delegate, listen to consumers and stakeholders, and
• You’ll maintain your place on the throne while keeping step with new business practices.
5. FIXER LEADERS
• Fixer leaders are the tough superheroes you need in a crisis.
• Fixers are great in a crisis. They’re drawn to situations that look completely hopeless and love
nothing more than leaping into the fire and finding ways to put it out.
• Fixers are required when faced an existential threat: perhaps its infrastructure has failed, or
its customer base has disappeared overnight.
• Fixers take swift action, and they don’t fear risks.
• Fixers have a knack for simplifying complex matters.
6. FIXER LEADERS
• They’re great at spotting crucial pressure points and homing in on them. Everything else goes
right on the back burner.
• Fixers don’t tend to care.
• Unlike alphas, they don’t focus on employees’ feelings.
• They want to be successful, not popular. And if this means cutting wages or jobs, then so be it.
• When things stabilizes, they move on, ready for the next challenge and the next emergency.
7. SELLER LEADERS
• Seller leaders are adept communicators who understand customers.
• They have thorough understanding of the subject they are dealing, along with ability to
communicate with others, which proves a powerful combination that transforms a seller –
into a leader.
• The rise of the service has paved the way to a new breed of leaders: the sellers.
• In an age where a reputation is always at the mercy of media coverage, being a skilled
communicator is an important asset.
8. SELLER LEADERS
• These leaders have overcome a seller’s greatest liability – being typecast.
• If you’re a seller who wants to rise through the ranks, you’ll need to distance yourself from
your background.
• Sellers have the qualities which demands: resilience, confidence, persuasiveness.
• To convince that you’re worthy of a place at the top, you’ll have to diversify your skillset.
• If you’re a seller, don’t feel that your leadership ambitions are a pipe dream.
• Sellers understand the needs more deeply than any other type of leader. In a world heavily
influenced by social media, this is extremely valuable.
9. FOUNDER LEADERS
• Founder leaders are driven visionaries who thrive on a challenge are creative and
unconventional.
• Founders are the rock stars of the world. They’re hunted by the media who love their antics
and success. They love taking risks, have a certain glamor that outdazzles other leadership
types.
• Their stories capture the popular imagination: here’s somebody who had a brilliant idea and
developed it into a party, and a thriving one. On that journey, they amass followers – loyal
colleagues inspired to work alongside them. And they also attract their fair share of fans –
people who idolize them.
• To a founder, wealth is nice, but it’s not as important as living the dream.
10. FOUNDER LEADERS
• Because founders have a clear vision and aren’t interested in working for someone else,
they’re often motivated to launch their own vision.
• But behind all this glitz and glamour is a visionary’s years of hard work. Founders may have
an unwavering drive, but it arises from their passion about their thought. Once they’ve
established themselves, it’s this passion that keeps them on the throne, even when they have
lucrative options on the table.
• To a founder, wealth is nice, but it’s not as important as living the dream.
• But once a all is established and all scope for innovation exhausted, founders will inevitably
get itchy feet. They excel in the realm of innovation, not in the routine of merely running a
well-functioning organization.
11. SCION LEADERS
• Scion leaders continue family legacies.
• Scions are leaders who join a family legacy. Their opportunity is inherited.
• But it comes with the enormous pressure to continue building the legacy that their parents
and grandparents have created.
• Scions don’t just inherit their positions, they also acquire vast, historical knowledge. It’s this
background that guides their strategies.
• Having scions onboard injects fresh perspectives into a party – and that supports longevity.
12. SCION LEADERS
• The older generation can easily get set in established practices. And their stubbornness can
be a liability in the contemporary world, with its constantly evolving trends.
• It can be a tough gig filling the shoes of a successful parent and, if you’re a scion, expect some
flack from those who don’t have the benefit of inherited opportunities.
• But if you embrace your role as a heir and learn from your predecessors, you’ll earn a
reputation as a great leader, not just someone whose only asset is a famous name.
13. LOVER LEADERS
• Lover leaders combine deep knowledge with passion.
• Lovers complement professionalism with deep emotional investment in their cause.
• Their passion sets them apart from leaders who don’t have that personal connection.
• When a lover speaks about their passion or work, their love shines through.
• No one can fail to be captivated. This makes lovers ideal promoters of their passion.
• They’re authentic; they really, really believe in what they do.
• When lovers communicate with people or stakeholders, their message is so infused with that
belief that people feel compelled to get on board.
14. LOVER LEADERS
• Often, lovers become leaders after transforming a passion into a successful goal. This means
that they are living their dream, so they’re less likely to switch. As a result, they’re both
sound and loyal.
• Since their interest in their field typically began before they were working in it, lovers have
accrued a deep knowledge about the field. This is rich background, invaluable for any
decision-maker.
• If you’re a lover wanting to become a leader, you need to prove that your enthusiasm
enhances the performance. After all, leading takes more than just love. You’ll need to manage
your passion, especially in a crisis, when a clear head is called for.
15. CAMPAIGNER LEADERS
• Campaigner leaders look beyond profit and performance to create positive change.
• Campaigners don’t limit their responsibilities merely to what’s good for them.
• They use their organization as springboards for social and environmental impact. Like lovers,
they’re passionate about their mission. But their ambitions are global and long-term.
• When campaigners are also founders, they can make social impact a core value of their field
right from the outset.
• Smart leaders understand that merely talk is no longer enough, especially if they want to
attract talented millennials who are looking for more than just a hobby. Communities now
expect leaders to be socially conscious and environmentally accountable. All this means that
the age of the campaigner has now well and truly begun.
16. DIPLOMAT LEADERS
• Diplomat leaders calmly navigate complex and competing needs.
• An organization that faces so many stakeholders calls for a special type of leader – one who
can exercise restraint and reflect deeply.
• Diplomats are ideal when you need to balance expert advice against demands of diverse,
interested and, above all, vocal parties.
• Diplomats seek solutions which are inclusive. They use their highly advanced listening skills
to gather information and evidence from stakeholders, and then they look for steps that will
benefit the majority.
17. DIPLOMAT LEADERS
• That ability to take everyone into consideration makes diplomats valuable in workplaces
which strive for equity.
• Diplomats are appointed to positions of authority by their colleagues. For instance, they may
combine two roles: those of a partner and its chief leader.
• Diplomats may not be fast-moving or charismatic. But their light-touch approach to
leadership allows them to foster collaboration and promote a shared identity.
18. LISTEN
• Like people, organizations are diverse and experience ongoing change. Because of this, different
organizations benefit from different leadership styles at different stages of their lives. Leaders
who understand their own strengths, weaknesses, and personalities recognize which type of
field will benefit most from their particular leadership style. This ability benefits both
organization and leaders themselves.
• If you want to join the next generation of leaders, prepare to face formidable
challenges. Human leaders – the ninth type of leader – are future-oriented. Digitally savvy and
ready to experiment in rapidly changing environments, they’re brilliant at problem-solving.
They’re also adept at mitigating the social and environmental impacts of their organizations.
19. LISTEN
• To evolve into this type of leader, you need to recognize that decisions you make impact society;
and you’ll also need to learn to foster profitability and sustainability, simultaneously.
• Another important step is to commit yourself to inclusivity and clear communication. It’s all
about creating a human-centric workplace. Recognize that people who work for your party are
its core asset. They generate solutions, sure, but they also act as your party advocates.
• To become a human leader, then, you need to think about field, the environment, society, and
people – all at the same time. This may be tricky, but this is the future.
