About the Future Ready Leadership Paradox

IDENTIFYING THE INNOVATION TENSION

Leaders will need to effectively deal with the competing demands change brings. Change (and particularly unknown/unexpected change) creates tension. This tension can either fuel or frustrate innovation and growth. Leaders need to manage this tension to ensure the organization/team can transition to sustainable new ways of working.

There has never been a more important time to facilitate this tension to ensure it is channeled into productive growth. Some will be itching to explore new options, while others will bunker down and want to maintain current systems. The reality is that we need both approaches. Our Future-Ready, iCLi and innovation suites contents identify how to utilize this tension for leadership and organization success.

MANAGING THE FUTURE READY PARADOX

Future leaders will need to learn how to become Ambidextrous, Agile & Aligned to deal with the complexities and challenges of constant rapid change. In this program learn how to build and lead teams for innovation, identify your personal innovation strengths and weaknesses (using our self-assessment tools) and transform your organization from within. Discover and use the paradoxes of future-ready leadership and learn how a leader can manage this by understanding the ‘exploration’ and ‘preservation’ biases. Being an innovation leader is not necessarily about being an ‘Innovator’, but is instead more about recognising and mobilising diverse perspectives and capabilities to enable innovation ambidexterity at all levels.
