Agility in successful business - Heidrick & Struggles

1. Foresight

1. The ability to anticipate where the future might be going or at least have thoughts of the different possible options and scenario plan accordingly.

2. Adapt

1. Foresight

Being Devil’s Advocate and seeking out the contradictions. It is uncomfortable for leaders to change what has worked previously. Adapt is the ability to flex and shift direction by embracing the skill set of challenge.

3. Learn

4. Resilience

A leader’s ability to learn may be their single biggest competitive advantage in a environment. We have to learn from success and failure and know how to leverage the wisdom going forward.

4. Resilience

This starts with having a sense of purpose that can carry a leader forward during tough times and bounce back from adversity. We all face sets backs and future ready leaders will utilise the power of their purpose to bind their people
