OE Cam regularly writes for national publications on topics related to Organisation Development and Talent Management.
Yesterday, HR Magazine published Gary Ashton‘s article on “Test, learn and adapt: thriving in this new era requires a brave new mindset“.
The notion that we are living in an increasingly ‘VUCA’ world (volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous) is not a new one and we know that a key characteristic will be adaptability. But what does this kind of adaptability look like? We believe that there are four key dimensions of an agile mindset that might be the missing ingredients in many leadership development programmes today.
In this short article Gary Ashton introduces OE Cam’s agile mindset model and suggests how HR can build this kind of leadership capability for the long term.
He concludes “Leadership programmes for 2022 should consider incorporating developmental exercises that are deliberately designed to create tension and ambiguity that leaders have to deal with in order to grow. While the learning may be uncomfortable at first, inevitably it will build leaders capability to behave in more agile ways and so develop a cycle of business renewal“.
