Initiativesofleadership Leadership is about change and direction. Leadership is a principle, but often you have to break down the outdated rules in order to lead forward effectively. Far too often the term “leadership” is thrown around loosely and without any regard to true meaning.

IngredientsofleadershipThe world becomes more complex with information abundance and hyperdiversity; leadership is the foresight to see the future needs of an organization, and our society. Today’s organizational leaders should have the ability to perceive clearly and influence deeply; striving to be true to their intentions.

The value of the firm goes beyond economic value or shareholder value, to include other forms of value such as societal value, employee/customer value, supplier/alliance partner value, managerial value, etc.

Leadership now becomes more open and interdisciplinary, influential and innovative, with varying ingredients. The leaders today need to become more benevolent to unify the difference; more experimental to spur innovation; more adventurous to explore the “art of possibility,” and more cautious of potential risks, for advancing human society.
