Leaders and teams must transform with seven momentum building leadership powers. First, we need to anticipate disruption and initiate transformation, whilst performance and energy are high and resources plentiful. Delaying action until the storm hits creates an emergency which consumes resources and diverts team energy into steadying the ship, instead of steering a new course. Disruptive inflection points begin with weak signals around the edges, threats seem insignificant. Busy agendas, the lure of short-term profits and the comfort of stability all-too often congeals into apathy. This is where predictive analysis, vision and planning are essential, complemented with the courage to act decisively on the unknown. To gain momentum and engagement, leaders need to channel personal power by reframing the way they engage and influence - a combination of increasing self-awareness, activating deep strengths and personality advantages - and overhauling belief systems, behaviour patterns and mental wellness. It’s then a case of amplifying personal power with goal power, by creating an inspiring vision of a transformed world, using razor-sharp and dynamically tracked goals and adding the methodical, disciplined implementation of process power.
