What lacks in Today's Leadership Models!!

Coming to leadership, it is a skill which one may have since childhood or developed in the process.

Again coming to the question  What lacks in our leaderships models?

Over the years we have seen how complex and diverse new challenges and problems can turn out to be may it be cyber crimes , rise in population , overuse of unsustainable resources, war like conditions, poverty, unemployment and the list never ends  ...

And there is no definite or dynamic and organized solution to these problems atleast not under all the laws of chaos and we can neither follow the leadership models of past that were based on behavior, skills and abilities of the leaders , as the challenges we face today were never  even thought about earlier .   

So what we need  is a sustainable model which not only is based on the learnings from past and generates the need to survive but a system to thrive upon in the digital era .

As once Albert Einstein mentioned 

  "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." 

So one thing that is clear is that we can never ever rely upon the theories from past and this is the time we introduce a new paradigm of leadership depending upon our challenges. 

The new paradigm of leadership should be based upon three pillars which can resolve the complexities of the new era: ​

• Value based leadership
• Network based leadership  
• Systemic Resilience 

Value Based Leadership : the transition from " I to WE"

It can be incorporated in seven stages 

1. Financial security and safety
2. sense of belonging 
3. Self worth
4. Personal growth
5. Finding personal meaning
6. Collaborating with partners
7. Service to humanity and planet

Network Based Leadership  evolving concept about collaborative leadership;

Related to the concept of creating and strengthening human networks and working for common purpose.

 example ; in 2011 many leaders came together addressing the issue about Syria refugee crisis.

Systemic Resilience 

The capacity of system to adapt and rise from a certain shock or stress and leaders face this chaos and have to build not just the individual resilience but community resilience .

Lastly I would conclude by saying no model would fall in our interest unless we as a people show adaptability to the new normal (eg; why is it necessary that govt should tell us to stand in queue in markets having safe distance from each other isn't it understandable)

'Global sustainability will depend on the willingness of leaders and the followers who are capable to adapt the new circumstances.' 

HAPPY LEARNINGS!!
