Transformational leadership is more than a title—it’s a visionary approach that drives change and fosters innovation. 🌟 Imagine a leader who sees opportunities where others see obstacles. Instead of simply managing the status quo, transformational leaders inspire creativity and bold reimagining of what’s possible. In today’s fast-paced world, innovation is the key to success. Whether it’s a tech startup on the brink of failure or a global company facing economic challenges, transformational leaders empower their teams to navigate complexity, embrace risks, and thrive. It’s about creating a shared vision, building trust, and cultivating an environment where diverse perspectives and creative ideas flourish. In the end, transformational leadership isn’t just about reacting to change—it’s about anticipating it and turning challenges into stepping stones for future success. 🌱 👉🏽 https://lnkd.in/e_N82Ygc "Never stop learning because life never stops teaching." - Kirill Korshikov #Leadership #Innovation #TransformationalLeadership #TeamCulture #ChangeManagement #Inspiration #VisionaryLeadership #lifelonglearner #netcomlearning

What do Marissa Mayer, Denise Holland Dresser, & Oscar Munoz think great executive leadership looks like in 2024? Our own Paul Drews recently interviewed them at Elevate, our annual CEO summit. Here’s what they had to say: 🏋️ Leaders seek out challenges - Great leaders have a growth mindset and aim to expose themselves to challenging environments and learning opportunities. 💡 Leaders need diversity of opinion - Startup boards should feature operators as well as investors because operators are closer to a business’s actual performance. ❄️ Leaders must be authentic - Leadership comes in many different forms, but it always comes from within. Trying to be someone you’re not will make you a less effective leader. To watch the panel conversation in full, check out our latest blog post:

Is strategy the new leadership frontier? What are you all seeing in your organizations and partnerships?

You already know that innovation is a competitive advantage for companies in any sector. But there’s a critical point to achieving this success factor: while 84% of CEOs recognize innovation as crucial for growth, only 6% are satisfied with their company’s innovation performance. This gap makes it clear that innovation doesn’t happen by chance. It’s a strategic pursuit that’s closely tied to the company’s leadership style. In the text I’m sharing today, you’ll discover how emotionally intelligent leaders, who foster psychological safety and align innovation with organizational goals, are able to transform their teams and achieve sustainable results. It’s all in the link. #innovation #leadership #strategy #emotionalintelligence #kindnessleadership

As we enter 2025, the need for efficient leadership has never been greater. Effective leaders optimize resources, align efforts with meaningful goals, and focus on sustainable growth. In a world where leadership efficiency isn’t just a strategy, it’s a necessity. Leadership especially at the global level, greatly impacts the world’s stability and progress. When leaders foster collaboration, the results ripple across geographic lines, driving innovation, economic growth, and social harmony. By embracing practices prioritizing impact over excess, we can ensure a future where organizations thrive. So, I challenge us to make 2025 a year of smarter, more purposeful leadership everywhere.

Sharing new research on teams we’ve done at Kotter across 300+ European organizations that may be helpful for leaders—both of teams and organizations. We’ve uncovered top challenges and opportunities as organizations embark on 2024. The far and away top priority is *Leadership Alignment*, followed closely by *Internal Efficiency*. As organizations strive for success, many know their first step—and first challenge—is leadership alignment. Further findings show there's readiness to tackle more issues once alignment improves, but many are weary of moving fast without alignment at the top. * Does this sound familiar at your organization? * Interested in the full results and findings?
