Leadership is about being a role model, building a community, making sense of the context, and shaping the future.

Leaders need to understand themselves, understand their team members, and create a compelling vision for the future.

Being a role model involves consistency and integrity, while being a community builder requires effective communication and a focus on others.

Sense-making involves understanding the context and helping others understand it, through cognitive/social/emotional intelligence and learning orientation, while future  shaping involves having a vision and a bias for action.

Leaders should create space for self-reflection, seek feedback, and understand the motivations and capabilities of their team members.

Leaders should embrace conflict as an opportunity for growth and understanding, and help their team members see different perspectives.

Leaders should tell stories to make sense of the world and create a sense of purpose for their team.
