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 gain new insights about hard decisions
- COMPETENCIES - they become expert
in the technical elements 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
- LEADING TRANSFORMATIONAL CHANGE
Dr. Olsen's Edge
LeadershipSM concept
provides critical insights on to how leaders can develop these two dimensions - adding both
personal and professional value! |
