Transformational Leadership

A transformation – a major shift in an organization’s capabilities and identity so that it can deliver valuable results, relevant to its purpose – is a big ask for any leader. Many efforts fail. They don’t lead to the ability to change and adapt.

And now the stakes are getting even higher. Organizations are facing a prolonged period of uncertainty, challenging economic conditions, seismic geopolitical shifts, climate change, and societal fragility, much of which has been exacerbated by the coronavirus pandemic. Yet some organisations – particularly those operating in ecosystems – have prospered.

There’s no better time to sharpen up your skills, freshen your mindset and build some resilience if you’re tasked with leading a transformation; or one of the decision-makers and sponsors responsible for its success.
