The ability for organizations to adapt and inspire in an era of perpetual change and disruption depends on breakthrough leaders. How does your leadership approach impact the ability of your company to embrace change?
“Change is consistent, and often challenging — but all the more difficult to manage when you and the whole world are going through a global crisis.” says Boris Joaquin, top-ranked public speaker and corporate trainer on leadership. “But it’s how we react to change that makes all the difference. Change can bring you from the old to the new: from depressed to determined, from sidelined to significant, from barely surviving to thriving.”
People look up to their leaders for direction, especially in times of change. Leaders set the motion for an organization, says Joaquin. During disruptive times, people look to their leaders to define vision and direction, create plans for moving ahead, and then put those plans in action. Many leaders, especially those with less tenure in organizations, admittedly may not have had the experience of leading during times of disruptive change. It’s important that learning and development professionals swiftly put together skill development programs for these leaders to help them lead effectively, from setting clear team goals that are in line with the organization’s overall vision to executing these goals with the right amount of coaching and mentoring.
Such leadership skills have always been important, although these often take a back seat in the company’s long-term learning journey. But when an organization needs to immediately implement new strategies, like in unexpected times such as now, these skills become extremely critical. If your leaders don’t have the skills to turn strategy into action, plans run the risk of being poorly executed.
Joaquin points to his company’s Breakthrough Leadership Suite, a development program for leaders, as a possible resource to help businesses with this imperative. “We help develop personal and organizational leadership without sacrificing the profitability and revenue growth of our clients. Every business problem has a human dimension. Because of this, we offer people management solutions that allow companies to reach their potential by reaching dispersed leaders across their organization and connecting them throughout a learning and development journey. We believe that companies that invest in the leadership skills of their people – personal and organizational – will significantly influence the performance of their organization.”
Today, breakthrough leadership continues to help organizations identify what is needed now and provide coaching and mentoring to get people moving forward on a new normal. “Managers who are learning personal leadership, to self-govern, to grow in self-awareness and become more disciplined, can effectively tap into their passions and gifts. These are the managers who are incredibly effective in leading other employees. As they develop healthy habits, both personal and organizational, they can work well with others, developing a genuine interest in leading and helping others grow as well. It doesn’t matter whether you are a CEO or an individual contributor, developing your personal and organizational leadership will positively impact your overall performance. And as you lead other people, your impact can now be multiplied throughout your sphere of your influence within the organization, ultimately contributing to the overall success of the company.”
