Great leaders are unique individuals with a myriad of personalities, skills and characteristics. So are each of your employees. Honoring each person's unique talent is the powerful diff erentiator for future success, looking beyond similarities and exploring what happens when you embrace the unique gifts of each individual, unleashing their superpower. Believership is a higher form of leadership, igniting purpose and the power of many moving in the same direction. While leadership forges a path, Believership becomes a paved road for many to travel together.
Believership brings a good heart, inclusion, diversity and caring to leadership, lifting others through choice rather than command.
We have a leadership crisis. Identifi cation and selection of leaders is based on a fl awed myth. Our heritage of prescriptive authority is proving harmful. People are, tired, broken and scared, lowering our human capacity to an alarming level, at a time when change is more rapid and more signifi cant than any time in history. We are not preparing people for the journey ahead.
Companies, industries, economies are being overwhelmed and many of them are declining, are in crisis and disappearing. Intelligent, market-leading companies recognize this and are shifting the focus back to the most critical component - people, who need to be enthusiastic, innovative and hopeful.
Meeting the chaotic challenges we are facing today requires big shifts in the way we organize, lead and manage people and teams. Believership will last beyond the accelerated attainment of goals and objectives, people will fi nd meaning and happiness. It is not only what we accomplish but who we become along the journey. The only thing that gets in the way of extraordinary transformation is the belief that it can't be done.
