Develop Agile Leadership Capabilities Predictably with our Proven Method

Leadership training without nudging the mindset, is only skin deep.

Undeniably, the simplest way for you to evaluate leaders is by observing their behavior and see if they exhibit the right leadership characteristics.

But this approach in itself is flawed. In the volatile business climate, weaknesses in leaders are exposed quicker. The pursuit of skills training for the purpose of demonstrating the "right skills" have left many organizations asking themselves the billion dollar question – why aren't we getting our return-on-investment despite the generous budget we've spent on leadership training?

Leadership training is expensive – and even more so when you focus on the wrong things. That's why at ACESENCE, we help you focus on the right ones.

We know the importance of a strong leadership foundation – because the rise and fall of your enterprise lies in the quality of leadership at all levels.

Discuss Your Strategy Now

Start with the Agile Mindset

Here's a known fact – A poor mindset results in poor outcomes. That's why at ACESENCE, we design training that makes learning stick. Make the capabilities permanent because no matter how volatile the environment becomes, agile leaders will always succeed.

Authentic Leadership Styles

Instead of imposing a fixed leadership style, we guide leaders to discover theirs. Is it enough for managers to rely on old ways of doing things? Probably not. Our values-and-strengths-centered approach helps leaders gain attitudes and skills that are essential now and in the future.

Learning about theories alone is rarely useful. That's why one of our mission is to "bridge the gap between theory and practice." With our tailored programs, we deliver practices that our global clients love – highly versatile, instantly useful and empowering.

Leading with agility is vital because it will raise your teams' innovation, improve problem solving, and agile decision making. In the business world where boundaries are blurred, leaders need to enable cross functional collaboration. This is not an easy task when the workforce is becoming increasingly diverse. How can you, the leader, enable seamless collaboration?

By leading with the human-centered agile leadership style, and bring trust and inclusion back.

Begin Your Journey of Leadership Agility

Organizations can invest today by supporting leaders in their development. By putting in a place a structured leadership training program, they'll get results predictably instead of randomly. Sure, people can probably figure things out on their own but in a climate where talent is scarce, your best bet for corporate longevity is to have a pipeline of effective leaders ready to make a difference.

An intentional and structured approach to growing leadership talent will help you develop more great leaders. With the right skills and attitude, you'll harness the best ideas from your diverse talent pool, formulate the best strategy and inspire others to pursue a common vision – build a thriving company collectively so that work can be meaningful and purposeful.

All Organizations Need Agile Leaders

Employee engagement, revenue, leadership sustainability, business resilience

1. Engage and lead diverse employees

Diversity and inclusion might be top on your list of priorities. Having leaders who are agile and effective will help you engage and lead diverse employees.

2. Align and unite employees towards a common vision

Teams are moving towards self organization as employees desire autonomy. If your leaders have the characteristics and ability to align others, then you'll find your change and implementation much smoother.

3. Develop a pipeline of good leaders

Leaders are inspiring and they grow more leaders. By role modeling effective communication, influence, creative problem-solving and people management is one of the best way to imbue these qualities in future leaders.

Focus on every level of leadership – not only the top performers. Taking care of your pipeline where all employees can be leaders, and are given opportunities to be developed to their fullest potential will help you create multiple pathways to success. By focusing on the employee experience and human capital, you'll pave the way for your organization to achieve much better outcomes.

My new book coming in Q4 2023

Nurture the five inner voices of leadership agility

Part of my value proposition is to provide simple solutions that overcomes your complex challenges. Having a framework gives you more ideas where you grow and transform your leadership.

A quick overview of what you can raise your agility by using the five inner voices that touch on team engagement, influencing people, language that inspire and empowering teams.

1. The Captain

In charge of your personal mastery and emotional regulation, I regard the Captain as the leader of the five inner voices. It enables all your other inner voices to work together. Unlike traditional leadership styles where emotions are often ignored or neglected, the changing profile of your employees requires you to now explore a different way of delivering value to your people.

Companies must also remember that many are currently going through transformations. The changes are often uncomfortable and a good leader in the team will smoothen the journey.

And for that, leaders can focus on strengthening the Captain for starters.

2. The Developer

Do you know what do people want from you as their leader? An effective leader knows how to engage people. They also lead with empathy (understanding what inspires others.) Without learning opportunities, your most talented people are unlikely to stay on for long. Leaders need to accept that the chance to grow and having the space to contribute their ideas is increasingly important for people.

If you want to retain your best talent, then leadership skills like developing people are essential.

That begins a positive cycle where more great leaders are born. In my domain, I prefer to see it as 'more agile leaders nurturing more agile leaders.'

3. The Visionary

Is your vision compelling? Do people believe in it? Are your teams with you in your vision, seeking solutions together or are you leading alone?

Change for any organization, can only go so far with systems and processes. People are your single more valuable resource. The more effective you are in your communication, the more you can inspire confidence and demonstrate your leadership in these volatile times.

The best leaders 'individualize' and tailor their message to meet the needs of their people, and effective change only happens when you have people on the boat with you (riding towards the vision).

Do a reality check. Your vision is unlikely to remain static so the more agile you can be in bringing your team to the same page, the more agile your oganization can become.

4. The Strategist

How do you know if your strategy of change is effective? What are the odds that you'll succeed? Think of it as a design thinking exercise. Do you have the essential parts in place?

Leaders need to be strong in strategic thinking. This is one the qualities that has increasingly become crucial for great leaders.

A strategist is essential for your leadership journey because if you aren't able to cut through the noise and help others see what's most important, companies can't change for the better. Invest in the strategist and you'll elevate the qualities of thinking in your team (thereby nurturing more good leaders) and create impact beyond self.

5. The Agilist

Is your decision making process working? Do systems and process support your team members to be high-performing or are you sticking to traditional leadership styles?

Among the five inner voices, my favourite is the Agilist because it embodies the principles of agile leadership so well. If there's a necessary change, make it happen because being obsolete and irrelevant cannot be a choice right now.

With our proven method, you too, can be a good leader today and a great leader tomorrow.
