Critical Leadership Traits to Thrive in Unpredictable and Opportunistic Markets
We wanted to share, from our lens as Executive Recruiters, some quick thoughts on the outlook and readiness for the unpredictable and opportunistic markets ahead.
Outlook For the Foreseeable Future:
We are entering a period of extreme transformation as our country, like others, copes with strategic, political, economic, technological, demographic, and cultural norms all in flux at the same time. However, profound change and unpredictability creates a demand for new opportunities and leaders and teams will need to respond rapidly and creatively to assure success.
Critical Leadership Traits:
As leaders in your organization, here are some key questions to help evaluate your team’s readiness for what’s ahead and the leadership traits to look for to thrive in 2023 and beyond.
Who on your team…
- Possesses the ability to focus on results together with the ability to inspire their people. Who is energizing their team to achieve exceptional results?
- Have stepped out of their comfort zone to be more creative? Who can produce and/or deliver innovative ideas and disruptive transformation?
- Are on the back foot reacting to uncertainty and new surprises? Who has stepped up and developed a mindset to embrace uncertainty and seize new opportunities?
- Is your expert on AI? Bringing you new ideas on how to do more with less and new ways to make you and your customers successful?
- Has unleashed the latent ingenuity in his/her team? Who else could develop this leadership skill and who will never get there?
