Supercharged Leader: Develop your mind and skillset to deal with anything – our 4th book – was officially launched in Las Vegas last month at ISM World 2024.
Introducing our latest book, “Supercharged Leader.” Delve into the dynamic world of leadership as we unveil The Six Superchargers™ – a revolutionary set of attitudes and competencies designed to empower leaders. In an era of rapid workplace evolution and increasing complexity, this book equips you with the tools to boldly navigate challenges and lead with confidence.
Many leaders are so busy doing the technical, practical, and operational aspect of their job that they have very little time to also be strategic about their leadership. They are ‘running on empty’ and missing the time to focus on current AND future expectations of them as leader. As a leader, you must find out what that is and start supercharging your leadership now.
Leadership is continuously evolving. Looking forward, what will leaders who want to stay ahead need to focus on now to equip themselves for the foreseeable future? What mindset and skillset do leaders need to develop and utilise to build their career and be successful going forward? What behaviours do they need to demonstrate? How do they need to show up? And how do they develop them and supercharge their leadership?
We have identified The Six Superchargers™, a set of six attitudes and competencies that, when combined, will enable leaders like you to boldly face a workplace that is rapidly evolving and becoming more complicated. With the aid of these solutions, you can strengthen your long-term leadership capabilities and prepare yourself to handle situations that we are still unaware of.
- Supercharged STRATEGY – think and act strategically
- Supercharged INCLUSION – create a workplace where everyone can contribute
- Supercharged CONNECTIVITY – build people networks and connect digitally
- Supercharged COLLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE – ignite brainpower and innovation
- Supercharged LEARNING – draw non-stop learning from all results
- Supercharged AGILITY – respond to change and create opportunities
Section from the book
No one can succeed alone.
A major factor for the survival of our species over time has been, and continues to be, our ability to connect with and collaborate with others.
Yes, building strong, collaborative, creatively challenging, and trustful relationships could be the most important thing you ever focus on.
And the commitment to creating those relationships starts in your head ; how you think about the people you work with will impact how the relationship is. So remember to start with your state of mind when wanting to connect and build trust and collaboration.
Strategically and carefully considering your stakeholder is not an optional task; it’s one of the most important ones on your list. It’s only by connecting respectfully and genuinely that we can be successful, and we don’t mean successful in a selfish “just for me” kind of way. No, we mean successful in a bigger context, being able to make a difference to something bigger than ourselves, like solving someone’s problem or creating solutions that evolve for the benefit of others over time.
If you currently don’t spend enough time considering how to cultivate those important relationships, here are three steps to help you on your way:
1. Map out the people you impact and the people that impact you – your stakeholders. Reflect on what they need from you and what you need from them. Then build a plan for what you need to do to meet those needs. Specify how, when and where you will connect and interact with them.
2. Not all your stakeholders have equal importance, and that’s OK. It doesn’t mean that some people are less important or valuable, but let’s be honest and pragmatic: you won’t have time to give everyone equal attention, so put more focus on those that have the biggest role in your work reality. Remember to build relationships for the future, too; don’t just focus on the present.
3. Take a genuine interest in these key stakeholders; ask questions to understand them better; listen to them; and take the time to create a real connection with them. Connect on the human level by being genuinely interested, not just in a transactional kind of way. Think about how you make them feel, what they experience when they interact with you, and your impact.
Caring for and carefully managing your stakeholders will help you build the relationships that you are dependent on to enjoy your work as well as deliver great results over time.
What step can you take today to lay the foundation for those crucial relationships you need, not just today but in the future?
