How EdgeLeadersSM Learn to Lead
Research suggests
four common ways that leaders learn and develop their skills: - EXPERIENCE – through
different jobs, they learn by trial and error
- SELF-AWARENESS – they become emotionally
and socially intelligent
- PASSAGES –
as they move up, they learn how to make hard decisions
- COMPETENCIES
- they become expert in the key aspects of their work
Dr. Olsen found these to be adequate for developing leaders who
merely do last year harder, but NOT sufficient
for developing Edge
LeadersSM. His research on the profiles of successful turnaround leaders revealed that they had TWO ADDITIONAL capabilities: - A
ZEST FOR CONTINUOUS LEARNING
- HOW TO LEAD
SUBSTANTIAL CHANGE INITIATIVES
Dr. Olsen's Edge LeadershipSM
concept provides critical insights on to how leaders can
develop these two capabilities - adding both personal and professional value! |
