In a complex and ever-changing business environment, the ability to lead with ๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐จ๐ฅ๐จ๐ ๐ข๐œ๐š๐ฅ ๐ก๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒย is crucial.

๐Ž๐ง๐ญ๐จ๐ฅ๐จ๐ ๐ข๐œ๐š๐ฅ ๐ก๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ refers to the understanding that we can never fully grasp the complexity of reality on our own. Itโ€™s the recognition that ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ฉ๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ๐ฉ๐ž๐œ๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ž ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐จ๐ง๐ž ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐ฆ๐š๐ง๐ฒ and that by listening to others and being open to different viewpoints, we can uncover more complete and effective solutions.

Too often, leaders believe they must always be ‚right‘ and fall into power games. But true leadership isnโ€™t about controlling every situationโ€”itโ€™s about being ๐š๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ž๐ซ๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ž in a meaningful way: standing firm in your values and purpose while constructively exploring tensions and differences.

Have you ever experienced shadow behaviours in your IBP process or IBP transformation such as silo-focus, hidden agendas, sand-bagging, sugar-coating, finger-pointing, steam-rolling, procrastination, or fire-fighting? These are often driven by a lack of ontological humility and assertiveness.
