I hear more and more often that to control the storm, you need to be yourself. Do not play the role of a leader, do not puff out his cheeks and not even portray a leader with a strategy. And just to be those who are capable of in incredibly difficult conditions to lead the team to the result. Do not lie, for example, that there is a strategy, but simply to be able to often and quickly change your solution.
“to be yourself” is still about a number of key skills familiar to us, but with a new interpretation:
delegation
the ability to trust the team and not control every step. The modern leader creates the conditions where the employees themselves make decisions, and relations are built on partnership, and not at fear.
Democracy
, who is not afraid to show his weaknesses, causes more trust and motivates the team. Sincerity and openness have become more important than the status and distance.
Anticrisis management
This is not about Hard Skills, but about
the ability to quickly adapt to changes, find solutions in conditions of uncertainty and maintain a team in difficult periods.
Humaniate
according to the survey of directors and specialists Human Resources Management of the Higher School of Business of the Higher School of Enterprise, Human Center is included in the TOP-10 HR trends in 2025. Employees are not just a resource, but living people. It is important not only to set tasks, but also to take into account their emotional state, to build a trust.
collective leadership
no person can be an ideal leader. Success comes when the strengths of different leaders complement each other, and decisions are made together.
It is interesting that 6-7 years ago, CEOs became specialists from the financial and commercial sectors, and in industry, most of the CEO were formed by former officials. Now, more and more CEOs are former marketers and businessmen (Sales) - they better feel the needs of business and know how to work with people. In the West, according to the Forrester Research survey, already 42% of marketers in the B2B sector and 41% in the B2C sector occupy a CEO.
