During this time of crisis, leaders have to rise to the occasion and navigate uncertainty. This requires certain mindsets, behaviors, and capabilities that enable the leader to thrive in the face of adversity. Humility is a key in this new normal.
This session will explore the ins and outs of humility and leading through challenging times. Studies show that 70% of leaders in organizations fail at leading complexity and uncertainty, because they declare they have it all figured out from the beginning.
On the other hand, leaders who demonstrate true humility understand the reality of complex change in digital economies and the hard work it takes to change culture and behavior. From day one, humility guides leaders to leverage the right mindsets and behaviors so they can get better at leading through challenging circumstances.
