The document discusses effective leadership and being responsive versus reactive. It focuses on developing the right competencies and relationships with people. Leaders should assess how responsive they are to issues and influence others to adapt appropriately. Responsive leaders are thoughtful, intentional, calm and adaptive to circumstances, while reactive leaders automatically respond in stressful situations. Effective leaders exhibit effective attitudes, thinking processes, feelings, behaviors and results. They think strategically about valuing people for business success. Responsive leadership strategies include taking deep breaths, gaining perspective, acting thoughtfully and learning from experiences. Qualities of effective leaders include confidence during crises, curiosity about conflicts, and courage during challenges.
