INTRODUCING
Why is leadership so important?
Because leadership defines goals, processes and the work culture around a task, leadership is necessary for creative work.
But our idea of leadership must change if we are to take full responsibility of the outcome.No man is an island and leadership is not about control. It is about defining outcomes and creating processes.
When I work with leadership development I stress the importance of developing a systemic mindset where you are not only having your own work in mind but also the work of the group and the context.
Working with leadership in relation to cross disciplinary creative work my mission is to raise the awareness and skill around creating outcomes not only through professional skills but also through strategic and relational competences. Many people in the creative industries have experienced advancement through development of their professional skills. But to take the next steps creative collaborations need you to develop your sense of impact.
When I work with leadership development, I focus on:
- Developing a sense of effect of actions.
- How to have the whole eco-system in mind.
- The development of effective creative cultures that allow individual skills to contribute to value creation.
Let me help you - and your organisation
To develop a leadership mindset and transform it into concrete actions that will help both individual leaders, teams and entire organisations requires both knowledge about leadership tools and reflexivity.
You must consider:
- What outcomes do we want?
- How can I as a leader create the results we want and need?
- What kind of leader must I be to create these results in the context we are in?
If you want to discuss how I can help you and your organisation develop leadership skills, you are welcome to contact me.
