Quality #1

INSPIRE!

Trang 4

Tomorrow´s top leaders

truly think bold and big

They challenge themselves

and their teams to live

their dreams

They trust in their skills

and capabilities, search for

the big picture, and enjoy

looking beyond it

Trang 5

They think, feel, behave, and act positively They surround themselves with like-minded believers, positive shapers, and creative makers They have understood that you

are what you eat,

i.e you are affected

by the company you keep

Trang 6

They use the power of

questioning (e.g tons of

Why and Why Not

questions) to overcome fear

of failure, bringing more

alteration to their lives, and

helping to uncover what one

really wants to do with their

life to assist in triggering

improvements and

innovations

Trang 7

Although these leaders also analyze mistakes and

failures of the past, they are much more focused on

developing future visions by thinking

outside of the box And afterwards, they spend a lot of time explaining their visions to their

teams to get their buy-in and support

Quality #2

LEAD &

EXECUTE!

Trang 9

Tomorrow´s top leaders avoid what quite often causes today´s experienced and successful

business leaders to arrive at utterly wrong conclusions, since the latter lack comprehension of how to live by two of today's most relevant business and leadership principles First, they are not VUCA leaders Second, they have not been able to grasp the concept of DyBoPe

leadership These are two crucial concepts for future leaders

Trang 10

They are both effective and

efficient by aiming at doing

the right things in the right

way They are not driven by

short-term results, instead

they are completely

customer-centric following a

long-term perspective They

strongly believe in the art of

execution and know how

hard and painful it can be to

have things seamlessly

implemented

Trang 11

The outstanding leaders

of the future master one

of the ultimate balancing

acts of superior

leadership – they know

how to lead with head

and heart Meaning they

are respected for having

both a strong results

focus and social skills

Trang 13

Quality #3

EXPLORE!

Trang 14

Tomorrow´s top leaders

have a strong passion to

learn, to question, to dive

deep, and to be

misunderstood

Relentlessly

Their interest goes far

beyond their own

organizations and

industries They absorb

whatever comes across

their way and catches their

interest

Trang 15

With curiosity they try to figure out what a new watch from Apple might mean for them, what implications it could have when Mark Zuckerberg starts his own reading club, when Artificial Intelligence is nominated by

a company as a board member for the first time ever, when Airbus builds an electric plane (and not Tesla), how Puma could compete with Nike and Adidas (or not), when Disney bids farewell to the movie star, or

if Microsoft might be cool again

Trang 16

Quality #4

GROW!

Trang 17

Tomorrow´s top leaders believe that you will what you want and that there are no limits to

personal growth They are what

I call “Realistic Optimists”, i.e being both optimistic and

realistic As such, they combine the two into one behavioral style that creates a unique sense of

open-mindedness, attention, and focus This high level of

awareness and focus allows them

to see things many of us do not notice while we´re too busy with problems and ourselves

Trang 18

They are masters at

succeeding

professionally and

personally by following

certain principles to

better navigate their

lives and to concentrate

more on establishing

sustainable and precious

relationships to

guarantee success

without personal regrets

They are clear about

what they want to

achieve in life and about

the price they have to

pay for it

Trang 19

They have reframed the notion of work-life-

balance as they´ve realized

that work and life are irrevocably interlinked They have found smart ways to integrate the two

of them efficiently and effectively They don´t consider workaholism as a virtue; they believe in

managing up and pushing back if necessary

Trang 20

Happiness is a growth priority

for them They define

happiness not as daydreaming

or as seeing the world through

rose-tinted glasses In fact,

they consider happiness and

the well-being of people as a

fundamental human right,

well aligned with, and not

hiding behind, economic

growth and social

responsibility They know

what numerous studies have

shown – happy people are

healthier, more confident,

more productive, more

satisfied, and more resilient

Trang 21

Quality #5

DEVELOP!

Trang 22

Tomorrow´s top leaders enjoy developing and coaching others They invest a lot of energy and time in building and

maintaining personal relationships founded on trust

Trang 23

Trust is a core belief and

value of these leaders which

they work hard to earn and

keep, e.g by walking their

talk, by communicating

frequently and openly, by

taking a stand (even if it´s

not a popular one), by

empowering others, and by

following high ethical

standards

Trang 24

Tomorrow’s top leaders are very active team builders and try to lead engaged employees

- employees who take pride in their work, who are committed beyond their usual call of duty, who are emotionally connected with their organization, and

who want to succeed They might integrate elements of leadership approaches such as the Fish! philosophy or train their teams on breakthrough techniques such as creativity

Trang 25

No doubt, top leaders of the

future have something else in

common which is of

paramount importance to their

success – a relentless and

passionate focus on talent

They are very intentional and

uncompromising about this

They have created

high-performing organizations

consisting of exceptional

talents Tomorrow´s top leaders

are what I coin HPCDA

persons Individuals who

possess a happy, positive,

can-do-attitude

Trang 26

Quality #6

IMPROVE & INNOVATE!

Trang 27

Tomorrow´s top leaders are data- driven, process- focused, and permanently in a disruptive mindset

Trang 28

First and foremost, they are

paranoid about the fact that

speed matters more than ever

in a quickly changing world

Although it´s not a new finding

that market leading companies

need to be fast and agile, they

have found ways to realize the

concept of speed They have

implemented very powerful

techniques such as Only meet

to make decisions, Leave

Politics to politicians, Plus one

minus two, Learn from

successes, Stop presentation cat

walks, etc

Trang 29

Secondly, they apply new business metrics Of course, revenue, cost, market shares, profit, etc remain important However, they put them into

a new context and link them with a modified weighting and time frame In addition, they will complement them with criteria such as

customer engagement, customer excitement, number

of disruptive ideas, and the capability to invent new successful business models

Trang 30

Thirdly, they know that in

hyper-competitive times,

competition is not just on

brand and technological

innovation, but also – and

foremost – on the business

model Disruption is king

for them on purpose, and

even if it were to mean

being a self-disruptor! They

have the ability and

willingness to envisage

where their customers,

industry, and adjacent

industries might evolve to in

five to ten years

Trang 31

Quality #7

CARE!

Trang 32

Tomorrow´s top leaders want

to support others, to give, to

make an impact, and to do

good They care about the

well-being of their employees

and about broader

environmental and social

topics They are aware of the

fact that you have to give

before you receive They have

integrated values like gratitude

and appreciation into their

lives and linked them with

positive and people-focused

thinking and acting to achieve

a fulfilled life

Trang 33

They show a strong interpersonal, day-to-day ability to genuinely and graciously thank other people for what they do Unfortunately, it´s a

behavior that´s too often forgotten in the heat of the battle Moreover,

outstanding future leaders avoid the common

tendency of managers to focus on the shortfalls and misses

Trang 34

Instead they posses the

beautiful quality to

identify moments of

achievement and

greatness and to put a

spotlight on them That

gives confidence and

strength to the teams and

Trang 35

Clare W Graves – the great explorer of

human nature and the father of the famous Gravesian theory – calls them Gold

Thinkers

Trang 36

They are people and leaders

who do not seek social

approval, personal advantage

or a sense of absolute truth

More than anything else they

seek opportunities to

contribute Their faith in life

is such that, even when they

screw up, they always come

away with a valuable lesson

Tomorrow´s top leaders are

also great supporters of cause

management, i.e integrating

social issues into their core

strategy
