When did your leadership journey begin? Hint: it was a lot further back than you think. Like, thousands of years further back. That's a major takeaway we learned in our podcast interview with Deborah Liu, the president and CEO of Ancestry. She points out that the decisions our ancestors made ripple through the generations to affect us today. It's the familial Butterfly Effect: quitting school to work, immigrating to avoid war or famine, choosing who to marry -- all of these choices your great+++ grandparents made invisibly affect you now. They're the hidden ingredients to your success. It's a fascinating interview, with a whole new take on leadership.

The insights are almost infinite! Deborah Liu's interview gave us so many "a-ha" moments, we came away with a book's-worth of new ideas. Be sure to check out the Ancestry CEO's full interview with Maureen Metcalf, MBA tomorrow starting at noon at https://bit.ly/ancestryCEO. In the meantime, check out her views on professional humility in this excerpt!
Remember you are not alone. We all have benefitted from our individual "villages." No matter how much work you have put into achieving success, you didn't reach your goals alone. Maybe it was an investor willing to take a chance on your business idea, a parent or grandparent helping out with childcare, a colleague recommending you for a project, a teacher who gave you the push you needed to see your talents, a friend or spouse who you could lean on during hard times, or a mentor who guided you—all of these are people who have had a positive impact on getting you to where you are today. Deborah Liu, CEO at Ancestry, advises the importance of recognizing what others have done to help us achieve our accomplishments. Professional humility is a crucial characteristic of innovative leaders. Because the best leaders know that we can achieve more together than we ever could alone. Tomorrow, check out my full interview with Deb starting at noon EST at https://bit.ly/ancestryCEO. Today, think of one person who has been a great support to you, and reach out to them to show your appreciation.

What kind of person are you? No judgment here! The point is: knowing the type of person you are directly influences how you lead. It’s a foundational key to maximizing your leadership abilities. At the Innovative Leadership Institute, we’ve identified nine leader types, closely associated with Enneagram personality types: - The Perfectionist - The Helper - The Achiever - The Individualist - The Investigator - The Loyalist - The Enthusiast - The Challenger - The Peacemaker. Which of these do you most closely identify with? It could be more than one; we humans are complex creatures, so you may be a combination of leader types. Once you’ve determined your type(s), it’s easier to figure out your passions, strengths, and weaknesses – and play to them to enhance your effectiveness – and your team’s success! We go into further detail in our latest book, “Innovative Leadership and Followership in the Age of AI”.

There's something special about the wisdom of former heads of state. George Papandreou is no exception -- from a fresh take on refugees to forging peace between traditionally contentious nations, his insights provide thoughtful perspectives. Check out these leadership fundamentals based on them in this week's newsletter! https://lnkd.in/gDBjjFwR

We're quite excited about this new forward-looking leadership course with James Madison University. Find out why: click the link to JMU's website in the post below, then reserve your spot!
Are you a left-behind leader? For many people, leadership is just a promotion, not a vocation that requires updating skills. But as the world changes, these people become less relevant and effective. They become left-behind leaders. The fix is simple: learn what it takes to be tomorrow’s successful leader! That’s precisely the purpose of our new course with James Madison University’s School of Professional and Continuing Education: Leadership Innovation in the Age of AI. It’s a nine-session course covering everything from the core competencies any leader in any age must have to the nuanced mindsets you’ll need to be future-ready. Classes start in January, but early registration guarantees your seat. Learn more at https://bit.ly/JMU-leads.

You've no doubt heard some variation of the adage: "You can't solve a problem with the same skills that created the problem." The trouble is: how do you identify the new skills you need to solve and succeed? Fortunately, our podcast guests Susan Cannon and Michael Morrow-Fox have done the heavy lifting for you, and detail the new mindsets and skills that will help your leadership be effective through 2050! Hit the link below, or pop over to our podcast directly at https://lnkd.in/efT5ieTG.
Your business is changing. Have you? In many cases, when you see yesterday’s celebrated CEOs faltering today, the reason is simple: those CEOs didn’t change. The pace of change in the world continues to accelerate, so your leadership skills must keep pace. But what new skills do you need? Fortunately, our podcast guests – futurist Susan Cannon and leadership consultant Michael Morrow-Fox– have identified the specific skills and mindsets you’ll need to lead through the next generation. For success through 2050, developing continual learning practices, cross-cultural competence, EQ, higher-order thinking, and reflective practices will all be vital. They go into more detail in the remastered episode at https://lnkd.in/gBqPE9uS.

Here’s a loaded question: Who are you? If you want to be a good leader, knowing yourself sits center stage. So many different types of leaders exist. Realizing which type you are helps you know your strengths, and who to invite to your team to complement your weaknesses. We’ve identified nine distinct leader types. These strongly parallel Enneagram personality types, which makes sense: your personality must naturally dictate the type of leader you are! See if you recognize yourself based on the names of each type: The Perfectionist The Helper The Achiever The Individualist The Investigator The Loyalist The Enthusiast The Challenger The Peacemaker Of course, you may switch between types to better tackle particular situations…but which of these feels the most natural to you? No single person can do it all. Knowing your type helps you amp up your strengths while bolstering your team with people whose strengths lie in your weak spots. Great leaders have known this for a long time; it’s why Gilded Age steel magnate Andrew Carnegie hired tough Henry Clay Frick as his lieutenant. For details on each of these types, check Chapter 3 of our latest book, “Innovating Leadership and Followership in the Age of AI.” It’s on Amazon at https://amzn.to/3FqkYCi, and the audio version awaits at https://amzn.to/3Vko2IW.
