Disruption in a variety of forms has shot through the economy over the past few years and shows little sign of slowing down. At IMD’s Global Center for Digital Business Transformation we studied the leaders of these transformations and the qualities they needed to succeed. Our research found that effective leaders in environments characterized by significant disruption shared some common characteristics, and labeled them as agile leaders.
In addition to having these characteristic, agile leaders tended to exhibit the following behaviors.
Agile leaders who rank highly on these competencies and behaviors tend to significantly out-perform other leaders on measures such as work engagement and leadership effectiveness in highly uncertain environments. So, ask yourself: are you displaying these behaviors on a regular basis? If not, what do you need to work on to become more of an agile leader?
