Complexity and Chaos: Leading for Agility
Uncertainty brings both opportunity and challenge for leaders. How can leaders cut through confusion and enable real collaboration and innovation at pace? What does it take to inspire AGILITY? The topic of Agility is everywhere right now, but what does Agility mean for Leaders? At Sheppard Moscow we clearly differentiate between the mindsets and behaviours of the type of leadership that creates truly Agile Organisations, as opposed to the popular Agile Methodology that is transforming innovation and customer responsiveness in many businesses.
Agile has been a great cross-over success, as businesses have seen the merits of what started in software development applied to transform business processes and systems, enabling enhanced decision-making and innovation for customers. It is clear organisational culture is the critical enabler to implementing Agile as a process and innovation revolution. Transforming the nature of leadership and management in the business is essential for Agile to be implemented at all – not just effectively. And for those businesses for whom Agility is less about a methodology and more about the outcomes of pace, flexibility and responsiveness, then Leading for Agility becomes a crucial capability.
