The environmental, social, political, and economic conditions we face at the beginning of the 21st Century have forever changed the roles and responsibilities of today’s leaders. The world is changing, and we must learn and change with it.
A critical step in becoming an effective leader is to assess honestly one’s own understanding of what it means to be a good leader, and to gain insight into one’s own personal leadership skills and style.
To survive and grow in this changing world, leaders are discovering that new, more sustainable and inclusive approaches to leading are essential. These requirements are redefining who leaders are, what they do, and where they reside within a group. They are even redefining the very nature of the relationship between the leaders and those who, historically, have been called followers.
Furthermore, evidence is mounting worldwide that leaders and organizations who ignore these changing requirements and continue to adhere to traditional leadership identities and definitions put their entire enterprise in jeopardy.
The Callaway Leadership Institute offers one-on-one confidential executive consultations, as well as a variety of practical leadership development activities including topic-specific virtual workshops and courses. We also offer, in person or online, Effective 21st Century Leadership: The 7 Aspirations, a year-long comprehensive leadership development program to organizations seeking to strengthen the leadership capabilities of key employees.
