[Paul Terlemezian]

This link has some recent insight on my bias towards this topic.

[Paul Terlemezian]

1. What is your leadership mindset - Entrepreneurial, Enabling, Operating?
2. What type of leader do you prefer to be led by?
3. How does each leader lead during times of uncertainty?
4. How might the heroic, victim, or villain perform as a leader in times of uncertainty?
5. What is common to effective leaders - whether - entrepreneurial, enabling, operating, heroic, victim, or villain?

An 11th response to the survey was received today:

Q1 What are leaders experiencing now that leaders have never or rarely experienced before?

                  The wave of information and tools leaders have to sort through.

Q2 Who is capable of preparing leaders for what has never been experienced before?

                   I think a combination of AI and open minded thought leaders.

Q3 How do we know if our leadership development investments are working?

                   Measure the impact of these efforts on business results (i.e. Workforce Productivity)

Q4 Who needs to be accountable for the success of these investments?

                   Senior Leaders and L&D

Q5 What industry or discipline is known for great leadership?

                   I have been in four different industries and I can confidently say no industry has the advantage of creating great leaders.

Q6 What are you willing to do to assure that you are a great leader?

                   Continue to be a student, practitioner and educator of leadership.
