As we lead our organisations towards the future, the time approaches for many directors to pause, reflect and consider how we have navigated the last couple of years. We need to decide what should be done individually and collectively to provide leadership and governance to our organisations.
Among the questions to explore are:
How far have we come and where next?
Who is with us and how do they feel?
Who do we need to talk with and listen to?
What are we going to do together?
Advisors will point to the importance of:
Harnessing innovation to create the future rather than reinventing the past.
Identifying opportunities to co-create rather than travelling alone.
Exploring how to deliver value for all parties, not just the business owners.
Building a trusted community with a common purpose and humanity.
We will be warned against the perennial dangers of:
Dictating the direction while ignoring evidence to the contrary
Failing to update the organisation model to deliver the new strategy.
Neglecting to engage with all interested parties.
Avoiding providing the visible sponsorship required to create momentum.
In an evolving business environment, ADEPT leaders will align effort, engage in dialogue, balance the needs of all interested parties and create an agile environment based on building trusted relationships.
