What is happening in your Leadership World?




Megatrends- CIPD 2013

• Gen Y- well equipped for the IT/Systems challenge- but very often literacy and numeracy are poor-Asia produces more engineering graduates than the US and Europe

• The population is ageing and migration is rising- in 1992 21% of over 50s worked in the UK- now it is 29%. Migrant unskilled workers have doubled between 2004-12

• Under 25s in work has fallen by 800,000 since 1992• Entrepreneurs in the UK work the lowest hours in Europe• Employee turnover has lowered- but not necessarily in response to the recession-

recent CIPD data suggests 20% of all employees will seek to move roles in 2013• Part Time working has risen dramatically- to almost 27% of the total workforce in

2013• Homeworkers now account for 3.5m employees• 2011-WERS-Technology requires people to work faster- its not just about fewer

people

THE FOUR PILLARS OF LEADERSHIP

Resilience

Authenticity

Netw

orked

Learning Agility



Authenticity: “

Edelman Trust Barometer 2013- Only 43% of respondents thought CEOs could be trusted




Authenticity• With the mass shaming of the Financial Services Industry, the horse meat

scandal, tax avoidance and the current events in how the West is dealing with Syria- AUTHENTICITY- is under threat as never before.

• Leaders need to recognise that without FOLLOWERS they cannot succeed

• VALUES and ETHICS are not just for “green” companies- they are central factors to CONSUMER DECISIONS

• AWARENESS of self amongst leaders is critical- it impacts us and our people every day

• ENGAGEMENT is not just for employee survey time- its for life!



Resilience• A buzzword or impossible goal? To some balancing life, work and family

demands unrelenting energy but are they resilient?• AMBIGUITY,COMPLEXITY and WORKING in THE GREY are facts for most

leaders in these times- not just occasional events• MANAGING CHANGE as a phrase should be banned? CHANGE is all we

know now.• SELF AWARENESS- is key to becoming resilient- recognising where you get

your energy from and when someone or something is taking it• FITNESS both MENTALLY and PHYSICALLY is required- you don’t need to

run marathons every month but you need to DO SOMETHING to get rid of that TOXIC BUILD UP

• Your TEAM will take it all- if you let them…



Stress and the Bottom Line Impact…

• Presenteeism- is impacting productivity- 2 out of 3 people attended work whilst feeling ill in 2013- Robertson Cooper

• 2007-10-Top Cause of Stress- “ Too much change in the workplace”

• 2011-13- Top Cause of Stress- “ Not enough time to do the job”

• CIPD 2012- 57% rank workload as one of the Top 3 causes of stress

• Mcleod- Low engagement scores- 32.7 % lower operating income

• High engagement scores-19.2% growth



Networked

• Networks need to be deep and broad- “ Im not always comfortable with networking” - does not work anymore-it’s a NECESSITY

• EXTERNAL NETWORKS are critical if you are to have a lifelong career-DON’T CUT YOURSELF OFF

• COMPLEXITY, MATRIX WORKING and CHANGING STAKEHOLDERS is happening and will continue to happen-does your LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT focus on this?

• COMMERCIAL AWARENESS- be curious about your business, your market, your sector, your competitors-we all need to be COMMERCIAL



LEARNING AGILITY

• THE HABIT OF LEARNING- is continuous-and it’s not just formal- learning happens in many ways but SELF LIMITING BELIEFS block our way everyday.

• JUDGEMENT, DECISION MAKING and RAPID ACTION are qualities needed at every level of LEADERSHIP and FOLLOWERSHIP

• LEADERS must learn the habit of anticipating change- waiting for it has only one consequence ultimately

• SEEK FORGIVENESS rather than wait to be told?• LEARNING is faster now- you have to work with it• PERFECT is not doable any more - NEARLY will have to do.



Future Leadership Development?

• Cross Cultural, cross sector, networked, collaborative, part of leadership and management everyday- not singular or timed events

• Framed by leaders who have strong facilitation skills, excellent coaching strengths with an ability to connect and challenge

• Action Learning becomes the norm-integral to management competencies• Accessible 24/7- online growth will continue but will become increasingly

relevant and user friendly in its delivery• Delivery will not necessarily be the sole responsibility of L&D/OD/Mgt

Development• Strongest focus on behavioural, self awareness and wellbeing• Formal learning is shorter, more exclusive and targeted at specialisms

outside of day to day internal business knowledge
