Adapting Proactively
Jul 16, 2018
I've written about ghSmart’s CEO Genome Project where they studied the behaviours of 17,000 successful C-Suite executives and identified 4 behaviours of successful leaders in my blogs on Being a Leader and Engaging For Impact.
The CEO Genome Project identified these as the four (4) behaviours of successful leaders.
- Decide with Speed & Conviction
- Engage for Impact
- Adapt Proactively
- Deliver Reliably
Today, I’m going to focus on the third behaviour of successful leaders: Adapting Proactively. First, what does it mean to adapt proactively?
According to Dominic Barton, global managing partner of McKinsey & Company, “It’s dealing with situations that are not in the playbook. As a CEO you are constantly faced with situations where a playbook simply cannot exist.”
- How is this beneficial to you as a leader?
- How effective will you be when you're able to proactively adapt to the changes all around you?
- How will this empower you to meet and exceed the needs of your current and potential clients and your employees?
- How will this type of thinking change your business?
As a leader, it’s imperative to be constantly aware of the environment, the market conditions in a broad context, not just what is affecting your world today.
Did you find this information helpful? How will you adapt proactively from now on?
