2. LEADERSHIP COHERENCE DECISIVENESS LEADER’S EGO MANAGEMENT PITFALLS

3. What will the audience hear? IN A COMPLEX, UNPREDICTABLE WORLD, MATURE PEOPLE AND MATURE LEADERS COPE MOST EFFECTIVELY. LEARN TO ‘HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD’. AVOID A WEATHERCOCK PITFALL, SEARCHING FOR A COMPROMISE AMONG CONTRADICTORY OPTIONS. AS A BOSS, ASK YOURSELF A QUESTION: WHY SHOULD MY TEAM FOLLOW ME? WHY WOULD ANYBODY LIKE TO BE A MEMBER OF MY TEAM? AN INSPIRING BOSS INFECTS OTHERS WITH THEIR CALM MANNER AND INTERNAL HARMONY. BEWARE OF PEOPLE WHO ARE DRIVEN BY THEIR FEARS AND ANXIETY.

4. What’s inside? BETWEEN COZINESS AND PANIC. Find a healthy compromise between urge for development and a natural need for safety and stability. BETWEEN A LOSS AND A PROFIT. Reduce defensive attitudes. Show possible gains and don’t be afraid of losses. BETWEEN FLEXIBILITY AND COHERENCE. Don’t try to be a chameleon. In order to be credible, discover your own, preferred management style and hone it. BETWEEN CORPORATE RULES AND SPONTANEITY. Accept corporate games, yet show your human face. Approach challenges constructively and with a dose of humor. BETWEEN THE INTEREST OF YOUR TEAM AND YOUR ORGANIZATION. Be prepared for a leader’s loneliness when it comes to difficult choices and decisions.

Next step in a leader’s development (building up some extra skills and attitudes on classic managerial standards).
