Many of the 20 leadership competencies mentioned are tried and true, some of them are new additions for the AI and hybrid working environments. Very helpful list!

In today's fast-paced world, understanding and practicing compassionate leadership is more crucial than ever. A recent discussion highlighted how leading with empathy and openness not only enhances team dynamics but also significantly boosts productivity and morale. By engaging in genuine conversations about both triumphs and challenges, leaders can foster a supportive environment that encourages growth and innovation. #leadership #leadershipdevelopment  

Regular one-on-one meetings between leaders and their team members can significantly enhance engagement and understanding. Remember, it’s about more than just work; it's about valuing each person's individuality and interests, reinforcing the importance of every contribution. #leadership #businessleadership  

The beauty of self-awareness and accountability in leadership cannot be overstated. When leaders stand shoulder-to-shoulder with their team, acknowledging both their successes and mistakes, it cultivates a unified workplace culture. This approach encourages everyone to aim for collective goals with a shared sense of responsibility. #leadership #accountability  

I’m excited that Forbes Human Resources Council featured my perspective on intuition as one of the key competencies leaders need. Learning to develop and lean into your intuition is an undervalued superpower that propels good leaders into great leaders. Leaders are taught to focus on data to make decisions and leave emotions out of it, but when I entered the C-suite, I realized that data simply wasn’t enough. Have you ever faced a challenging decision where the data was telling you one thing, but your intuition was pulling you in a different direction? #leadership #employeeengagement #inclusion #SherikaShares
