The Second Practice of FIERCE LEADERSHIPBy: Susan Scott
It?s my opinion that today?s ?best? practices of leaders not only fail to resolve the problems they?re meant to resolve or achieve the results they?re meant to achieve, they actually escalate problems. I?d like to recommend alternative practices to take their place. After all, reality has shifted and those who cling to old practices that no longer serve them and perhaps never did, will fail to thrive. Seriously. Fail to thrive.
Today, I touch on the second ?best? practice and hope to provoke your thinking, in subsequent entries, regarding all six.
Human connectivity, as opposed to strategy and tactics, is the next frontier for exponential growth and the only sustainable competitive edge. Competitive edges such as technology, design, cool tools and products are quickly lost as competition catches up.
Might the competition eventually match your ability to connect with people? Yes, I suppose and hope so ...
