I recently enjoyed a thought-provoking conversation between Scott J. Allen, Ph.D., Ph.D., and Dave Ulrich on the value of leadership, management, and lifelong learning and development. Their insights on human capital development and cultivating better leaders for tomorrow resonated deeply with me. In my experience, it's all about training your relief. The Leadership Challenge®: A Wiley Brand is an excellent resource for coaching emerging leaders. Dave's book, The Leadership Code, especially stood out to me. While navigating a new and unfamiliar role nearly 15 years ago, it helped me understand the essentials of leadership at both the personal and team levels—what Dave calls the Leader Source Code. Dave's book, The Leadership Code, caught my eye while serving in a new, unfamiliar role, gets after the core of leadership, the basics, at the personal and team level - the Leader Source Code - and from that we build. Personal: Human Capital Development and Talent Management. For the Team: Strategy (Where are we going) and Execution (Empower members, Enabling, Modeling the Way). For personal development, it emphasizes Human Capital Development and Talent Management. For team growth, it focuses on Strategy (where we're heading) and Execution (empowering members, enabling success, and modeling the way). So, how do you lead? Your leadership style—how you "Leader"—matters immensely. It’s about building leadership and talent capabilities driven by external stakeholders, not self-interest. #Phronesis #Leadership #HumanCapital #TalentManagement #Strategy #Execution #TheLeadershipChallenge https://lnkd.in/etV4BKs6

For decades, Shell’s scenarios have supported the decision-making of Shell leaders, academics, governments, and businesses. Scenario thinking enables organizations to establish possible visions of the future in the form of scenarios. These scenarios enable decision-makers to think through the different ways in which the environment of their institutions could evolve in the future, based on different sets of assumptions. One of the companies that is best known for its scenario-thinking activity is Shell. Jeremy Bentham led this activity in Shell between 2006 and his retirement in 2022 as Shell Scenarios & strategy Leader and VP Global Business Environment.

Leadership Lessons from the Frontline: A Conversation with Minister Felix Ellis " Leadership isn't just about the position you hold; it's about the preparedness and focus on the people you're serving.
