Leadership Development: Moving from a World of Competencies to a World of Mindsets

As the workforce moves to a more integrated “work” and “life” approach, leadership development is synonymous with self-development. Today’s leaders want to build skills and collect experiences that will help them in all aspects of their lives – not just what’s needed for their job.  With the demands of our “change is constant” environment, it’s imperative that we support leaders in mastering context vs. content and help them shift from competence to consciousness.

What often separates successful leaders from unsuccessful ones is not experience or expertise in their day-to-day arena – it’s often in their mental models, their ability to adapt and master the context of the world around them, and their grit and resiliency to course-correct as priorities shift through the process. Focusing on psychological agility and safety can increase your organization’s ability to move at the speed of business – without the aftermath of burnout and fatigue.
