This document discusses developing leaders and leadership development. It argues that organizations must take leadership development seriously to succeed in the future. Leadership is no longer defined by a single leader's traits, but by the ability to collaborate, motivate teams, and manage networks. Due to changing organizational structures, a distributed view of leadership with multiple leaders is needed. Developing leaders requires various forms of self-assessment, action learning, and apprenticeship. Companies now play an active role in developing their workforce through corporate universities and other tools like simulations and 360-degree evaluations.
This document differentiates between leadership and management. Leadership is defined as developing a vision that motivates others towards a common goal, while management is organizing resources and tasks to reach a goal efficiently. The document then discusses key factors of leadership, including followers, communication, and adapting to different situations. It describes different leadership styles such as autocratic and democratic. While leadership and management are different, they are linked and complementary functions that must work together. The document concludes by listing characteristics of a good leader.
Learning Objective: Explore the gender differences in leadership styles that increase productivity
With the new way that businesses are working and adjusting to new risks from hackers, environmental, and social challenges, managers are looking for new techniques to analyze unique strategies to sustain long-term organizational growth. Studies show that there is a substantial amount of evidence regarding the leadership concept that is supported alongside the gender characteristics, which further reveal some interesting tendencies in the future of the business world. In this seminar, we will discuss the potential relationship between gender and leadership style, with the overarching question: “Are Men and Women Leading in the Same Way?”
At the end of this seminar, participants will be able to:
1. Examine the main gender differences in terms of leadership.
2. Identify criteria to support a comparative analysis.
3. Discuss potential barriers that affect performance.
4. Ascertain methods for improving organizational performance through a better leadership style.
This document discusses different theories on the nature and development of leadership. It explores whether leaders are born or made, outlining theories on innate traits versus learned skills and styles. The document also examines levels of leadership from the individual to society, influential factors, and mainstream concepts like transactional leadership, transformational leadership, and situational leadership. Specific leadership models are mentioned, such as situational leadership theory, the managerial grid, servant leadership, and level 5 leadership.
The document discusses boundary spanning leadership. It defines boundary spanning leadership as leadership that bridges boundaries between groups in service of a broader vision or goal. It notes that while physical boundaries are breaking down, new psychological boundaries based on social group membership are emerging. It discusses challenges of boundary spanning leadership, such as being pulled in different directions and pushed to one group. It also discusses tactics for practicing boundary spanning leadership, such as suspending group identities and activating shared identities. Finally, it proposes areas for future research, such as exemplary boundary spanning leaders and initiatives.

Transformational Leadership is one of the indisputable “Hot Topics” in the area of Leadership. Although the concept has been around since the early 80’s, it has really begun to catch fire in recent years. What’s all the hype about transformational leadership and how does it differ from other prominent leadership styles? Join us for our January 17 webinar and bring your “HR Speak” up-to-date. You’ll hear a clear description of the concept and how it is differentiated from other leadership styles. You’ll be able to evaluate the relevance of this leadership style for your organization, isolate leader characteristics that map to this style, and provide suggestions to your organization for developing this leadership style in your organization. You don’t want to miss this exciting discussion.
This document discusses Holacracy, a self-organizing organizational model without managers or job descriptions. It describes one organization's experience trying Holacracy, including unclear strategies and disempowered employees that led them to consider new structures. They adopted Holacracy but encountered complications from roles, meetings and governance. Some benefits included structured meetings and practices, but the author eventually left due to feeling lost and that an energy bottleneck had formed. The document advocates for transformation of mind and heart over social technologies and questions how to navigate complexity and engage people to create organizations where people want to live.

The document discusses the differences between leadership and management. Leadership is defined as motivating a group of people to achieve a common goal, while management is responsible for setting objectives, organizing resources, and motivating staff to meet organizational aims. The document lists leadership positions like directors and management roles like managers. It also contrasts key traits of leaders and managers, noting that leaders design change, inspire people, and challenge the status quo, while managers focus on organizing change, consolidating efforts, and reflecting the status quo.
Dynamic and volatile environments require both, the ability to adapt and innovate rapidly and a certain amount of stability and structure. Is it possible to combine those two somehow contradicting characteristics?
Yes, it is, if both leadership culture and organizational structructures are transformed at least in parts of the company.

The document discusses Holacracy, a post-hierarchical organizational model. It describes Holacracy as a cultural operating system and agile governance model that allows for continuous participatory change. The goal of Holacracy is to design organizations as conscious living systems that define success as contributing to life's well-being, maximize people's potential, and consciously evolve over time.
The document discusses boundary-spanning leadership, which involves creating direction, alignment, and commitment across organizational boundaries to achieve common goals. Boundary-spanning leadership is important because it taps into diverse perspectives to reduce costs and risks while increasing potential for innovation. The document provides strategies for developing boundary-spanning skills, such as building credibility through sharing information, listening, and engaging in learning with others across boundaries.
AIESEC is a global, non-political, independent, non-profit organization run by students and recent graduates. It provides international opportunities for young people to develop their leadership potential and have a positive impact on society. AIESEC offers an integrated development experience comprised of leadership opportunities and international internships within a global learning environment. It envisions a world with peace and the fulfillment of humankind's potential. While AIESEC does not discriminate, it believes new models of leadership are needed to address today's complex, interconnected world.
The document discusses the need for a new paradigm of leadership to address global challenges. It argues that leadership must be viewed as a relationship based on mutual influence between leaders and team members, rather than a top-down model. The new paradigm proposes that leadership involves mobilizing people to enact meaningful change through non-coercive relationships aligned with shared values and purposes. Leadership development programs should cultivate skills for collaboration, influence without authority, and facilitating adaptive organizational change.
Forced collaboration in agile/lean initiatives due to increasing business demands and delivery speed can lead to collaboration fatigue and decision fatigue. This stress response can cause people to exhibit traits of the "dark triad" - narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism - in interactions. If left unaddressed, there is a risk this could develop into "dark collaboration" where people are only interested in their own needs and avoiding discomfort. The greatest threat is a shift toward "happy making" collaboration that prioritizes comfort over the critical thinking needed to drive innovation. Organizations must embrace neurodiversity in collaboration and accept that difficulty is often a sign they are having important challenges.
The document discusses two new technologies, radar and VHF radio, that emerged in 1941 and had the potential to enhance situational awareness for the U.S. Navy. However, during initial battles they instead created confusion by overloading officers with too much uncorrelated information. Admiral Nimitz advocated for self-organization and experimentation to better utilize the technologies. This led ships to form multi-disciplinary teams to centralize information processing, which emerged as the Combat Information Center and improved coordination.
In order to be successful, it is universally accepted that organizations must ensure all employees are aligned with business objectives. But in a world where objectives inevitably change, how do your leaders keep employees aligned? In this session, Rich Been will discuss an emerging framework that defines leadership in terms of its outcomes of direction, alignment and commitment. This session also will introduce the Center for Creative Leadership’s latest, cutting-edge research on “boundary spanning” — the capability to create direction, alignment and commitment across organizational boundaries in service of a higher vision or goal.

Crowdsourcing strategy for NGOs and large complex organisationsCatherine Shovlin
This document discusses the benefits of using crowdsourcing for large organizations like NGOs. It notes that crowdsourcing can tap into collective intelligence to increase engagement, loyalty, motivation, trust, and the quality and resilience of ideas. The document also outlines how Plan International used Synthetron, a crowdsourcing platform, to gather over 5,000 comments and 1 million data points from 500+ employees to inform their strategic planning process. Participants provided feedback on the organization's culture, processes, focus, and roles anonymously. The insights helped Plan International identify priorities, barriers to change, and recommendations which informed their strategic decision-making and change management process.
Self-organization case study blinkist & zalando technologyTobias Leonhardt
Why we made it lighter: A case study of how to adopt self-organizing frameworks like holacracy, sociocray and enrich it with agile & lean principles as well as the integral theory. Real life examples from Blinkist and Zalando Technology
This document discusses leadership styles across different cultures. It begins by describing the objectives of examining leadership philosophies and comparing approaches in regions like Europe, Japan, China, the Middle East, and developing countries. It then provides an overview of leadership theories like McGregor's Theory X, Theory Y and Theory Z. The document proceeds to analyze leadership behaviors, comparing authoritarian, paternalistic and participative styles. It also examines differences between leadership in Japan and the US. Further sections explore approaches in China, the Middle East, and countries like India. The document concludes by discussing universal leadership qualities and the GLOBE study findings on effective cultural leadership.
The document describes Richard Barrett's Seven Levels of Consciousness model, which extends Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs to understand individual and group consciousness development. The model includes both internal dimensions like self-knowledge and external dimensions like expanding one's sense of identity. Barrett developed tools like the Cultural Transformation Tools to map organizational values and leaders' levels of consciousness using this model. The document also outlines applications of the model for individuals, groups, decision-making, and building values-driven cultures.
The document discusses leadership and teamwork. It tells a story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody who were tasked with an important job. However, nobody actually did the job because Everybody thought Somebody would do it, Anybody could have done it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it. As a result, the job wasn't completed and Everybody blamed Somebody. This story illustrates the importance of teamwork and leadership in accomplishing goals.
This document discusses the future of work and alternatives to traditional management structures. It provides three examples of organizations that operate successfully without hierarchies through self-management. Key points:
- The future of work may involve replacing traditional management styles that leave most employees feeling unmotivated and replace them with more humane, purpose-driven organizations.
- Case studies show organizations like FAVI (metal manufacturer) and Buurtzorg (healthcare provider) that engage employees and use self-managing principles are consistently more successful.
- These organizations function without managers, budgets, or traditional business functions through self-management, transparency, and intrinsic motivation instead of external controls.
- Rather than big transformation initiatives, successful
Favoring the Emergence through Agile ScaffoldingEmiliano Soldi
The frameworks for scaling Agile in organizations are certainly an excellent tool on which to leverage to develop strategic skills such as market adaptation, innovation and the reduction of product creation times; characteristics that, in all likelihood, will be able to significantly raise the level of general customer satisfaction.
Not a few times, alas, we found ourselves having to deal with practices suggested by those same frameworks that did not fit well with the circumstances and environment of reference. In those cases it is of little use to abandon one framework in favor of another as, in most cases, we would face new failures and a sense of frustration squared.
In business contexts where a minimum but sufficient Agile adoption maturity has been reached to be defined as practitioners, it is certainly worth experimenting with new approaches.
In this deck we will talk about how it is possible to encourage the emergence of emerging practices by teams in their native contexts, and which allow to scale Agile in a more organic and coordinated way, to achieve the above benefits, without the risk of rejection and decreasing to a minimum the inefficiencies due to lack of alignment, collaboration and communication.
We will use the example of "biological scaffolding" to explain how in a human body, in a completely natural way, it is possible to influence a system from the inside, cellular in that case, towards certain directions and behaviors, avoiding invasive, constricting interventions or structures or limiting.
We will use that concept as a metaphor to apply to Agile transformations.
Great presentation of Leadership and Motivation (by kiran and laxmi)Kiran
This presentation discusses leadership and motivation. It defines leadership as the ability to develop a vision that motivates others to move toward a common goal. It also defines motivation as the complex of forces that start and keep a person working in an organization.
The presentation covers several theories of leadership, including trait theory, contingency theory, behavioral theory, and situational theory. It also discusses four leadership styles according to Hersey and Blanchard: telling, selling, participating, and delegating.
Motivation is discussed in terms of needs, behavior, goals, and factors like monetary incentives such as salaries and wages and non-monetary incentives such as appreciation and working conditions. The importance of motivation for generating efficiency and performance is
In the lives of the people of most developing countries, failed or ineffective leadership continues to be a challenge (Garba, 1994.) At the international and domestic levels, discussions concerning the progress and plight of developing countries have taken a variety of directions.
This document discusses organizational culture and Fons Trompenaars' model for analyzing it. Trompenaars proposes that culture can be analyzed using seven value dimensions: universalism vs particularism, individualism vs communitarianism, neutral vs affective, specific vs diffuse, achievement vs ascription, sequential time vs synchronic time, and internal vs external control. The document also outlines four extreme stereotypes of corporate culture: incubator, guided missile, family, and Eiffel tower. Students are assigned to analyze their organization using Trompenaars' framework and determine which stereotype best fits.
As wary confidence grows in the economic recovery, anxiety is starting to bubble around workforce loyalty and retention. This concern is justified. But it shouldn’t be new.

Organizations must battle a highly competitive business environment where ambiguity, interdependence, diversity, and unpredictable fast change require leaders to strengthen their intercultural awareness to foster healthy global business environment. Developing CQ skills requires examining organizational dynamics and a leader's cultural diversity lens to build a global mindset of curiosity, respect and inclusion that fosters resilient relationships.
This document discusses ideas around organizational change and complexity. It begins with 3 sections: 1) The new abnormal, 2) Becoming complexity conscious, and 3) Unfinished ideas. It then discusses how the world is becoming more complex and organizations need more autonomy to adapt. Deep and transformative change requires addressing four quadrants: individual, internal, collective, and external. Adaptive strategy involves creating a north star, designing an adaptive roadmap, and experimenting. It also discusses the importance of team connection, addressing all levels from tasks to deep human contact. True change requires addressing the personal development of individuals by cultivating leadership consciousness beyond just skills and processes.
Save The World And Still Be Home For DinnerOtti Vogt
This document provides an overview of Otti Vogt's presentation on responsible leadership and organizational transformation. The presentation outlines a voyage from traditional concepts like money and bureaucracy to more modern concepts like purpose, humanocracy, and eco-leadership. It discusses transforming individuals, teams, and organizations by moving from concepts like identity and heroism to individuation and alchemists. The goal is for organizations to have more purpose, impact, and responsible leadership to reshape the future. The presentation provides frameworks and examples for this transformation across different levels of analysis from individuals to teams to organizations.
Transform Organizations by Surfing on a State of Continuous FlowEmiliano Soldi
Reaching State of Flow for a person means to be completely engaged, involved in nurturing each own talents and intrinsic motivations, while being hyper-productive. What if we could reach State of Flow at Scale while facilitating Agile Transformations?
The document discusses various topics related to designing organisations for the future including purpose, culture, trust, integrity, motivation, and leadership. It provides quotes and perspectives on creating human-centered organizations where workers have autonomy, feel a sense of purpose, and where relationships and trust are prioritized over rigid hierarchies. The goal is to design adaptive organizations that can thrive in today's VUCA world.
The document discusses high-performing teams and how to build leadership quotient. It provides an agenda for a meeting that will cover topics like ideal team size, diversity versus good chemistry, the importance of pairs, how brain structure relates to teams, managing change and maneuverability, and team lifecycles. The document advocates that team design must work with brain structures and provide the support needed for teams to reach their full potential. It also notes that teams must be capable of surviving significant changes in today's economy and that humans adapt more slowly than technology.
The document discusses several people management issues faced by organizations:
1. A lack of skilled talent due to longer hiring times and increased need for internal development and recruitment services. This creates competitive advantages for those with better talent management.
2. A need for diversity beyond just numbers, requiring a change in organizational culture.
3. Challenges with attraction and retention of talent as candidates consider more than just compensation, looking also at leadership and company culture. Technology is changing recruitment processes.
4. The importance of leadership in creating a high-performance climate and culture, which contributes significantly to organizational success.

Cleverwood friday session - Company culture and consultant workCleverwood Belgium
Whether on a short term mission to provide expert advice or on a longer term engagement, as a consultant you're confronted with the challenge of company culture. Company culture will affect every single aspect of your mission from information collection, to exploring possible solutions, to issuing recommendations, to facilitating decisions and coaching for their implementation. Culture is of particularly strong influence when you're dealing with change, evolution of core business assumptions and innovative practices, e.g. the integration of social media in the toolbox of marketers.

It outlines several global sustainability challenges and argues that the current division of society into public, private, and social sectors is not working to address these problems. A new approach is needed where leaders from all sectors collaborate to define policies that support societal evolution by focusing on values and consciousness over narrow self-interest. Cultural transformation begins with leaders' personal growth and can be measured to facilitate organizational and societal management and improvement.

The document discusses the need for a new leadership paradigm to address global challenges. It argues that current decision-making structures are not well-suited for global problems and that a high degree of global cooperation is needed. It also discusses how the current divide between public, private, and social sectors creates barriers and that leaders need to combine forces. The document then introduces the concept of a new leadership paradigm focused on shifting from self-interest to the common good and being the best for the world rather than just the best in the world.
