Leadership & Organization Development

Leadership Must Fundamentally Change

World is increasing complex so that the leader no longer can have all the answers

Instead, excellence is achieved when full use is made of everybody’s expertise

Changes the leader’s role from “answer-giver” to “system-builder” – Leader as Architect

Starts with the most common attribute of successful leaders – Self-awareness

“We see the world not as it is, but as we are”

– Stephen Covey
