In my work supporting organizational change and transformation, I’ve noticed a recurring pattern: when it comes to filling key leadership roles, many companies instinctively look outside, even when there is untapped leadership potential within. Why?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is fundamentally reshaping leadership communication. Rather than simply streamlining processes, AI is forcing both leaders and communication experts to deeply reconsider their roles. What does this mean for leaders and for communication experts?
In my collaboration with leaders, I repeatedly experience how crucial self-reflection and the continuous cultivation of self-leadership skills are. Qualities such as empathy, flexibility, and confident, authentic leadership, recognized as essential in modern leadership, can only be developed through regular self-reflection. This is hard work.
In a world where artificial intelligence is increasingly touted as the key to making better leadership decisions than humans – and despite all the enthusiasm I personally feel for the topic of AI – I want to pause for a moment and share some thoughts about the unique value of authenticity in leadership that can only be created by humans.
Over the past months I was frequently asked about what I think of certain GenZ representatives and how they present themselves on Social Media. The question inspired me to reflect on the question from a “non-judgemental” perspective. Thereby, Rachele Focardi’s work on “Reframing Generational Stereotypes” was a great help.
Even though the desire to organize leadership differently has been developing for some time in many companies, the Covid-19 crisis has undoubtedly accelerated discussions around New Leadership.
On International Women’s Day, many organizations took the opportunity to publicly share their own position on the topic of equal rights for women. But what happens when the issue is out of the news?
In the last 12 months, economic, social and political crises have challenged our personal value system enormously. The next generation puts values at the center.
Change is in full swing – and companies are striving to communicate it successfully. Many employees are now open to new visions and change initiatives have a real chance to make an impact.
Especially in virtual space, leader should increasingly ask themselves how their communication reaches the other side of the screen and how they can optimise it.
