Bob Anderson: Boot Up Your Inner Game","description":"Bob Anderson has dedicated his career to exploring the intersections between leadership and personal mastery, and between competence and consciousness. Over the past 35 years, he has helped leaders gain deep, personal insight into their creative competencies that promote effective leadership, and their reactive tendencies that limit it. He is the creator of The Leadership Circle Profile, a 360 leadership assessment tool that provides integrated feedback in multiple domains across the Creative and Reactive categories.\r\n \r\n\r\n\"A Creative style of leadership is driven by passion, purpose and vision and is about bringing into being what I care about and becoming who I most desire to be as a leader. Reactive leadership is about responding to problems, fears and threats.\r\nYou can't create the kind of agile, adaptive innovative and engaged workplaces that we are trying to construct in order to thrive in a VUCA world. You literally can't create those cultures and systems and structures from a Reactive leadership mindset.\"\r\n- Bob Anderson\r\n\r\nThe Times Call for Exemplary Leadership\r\nBob and I spoke on February 21, 2020. The date is significant because the first case of community-spread novel coronavirus had not yet been detected in the U.S. Today the U.S., as well as much of the globe, is in some sort of lockdown to prevent its spread. The lack of mention of Covid-19 seems tone-deaf today, as managing the spread and responding to the health and economic crises are all-consuming for many.\r\nBob has spent the past few decades understanding what characteristics indicate a leaders\u2019 ability to deal effectively with the increasingly complex situations they\u2019re presented with. Our current, unfortunate predicament illustrates, even more, the need for agile, innovative and visionary leadership.\r\nCreative Leadership\r\n[17:26]: The highly effective, and Creative leaders had a very different set of strengths. They had all the other strengths in equal measure: technical strengths, domain knowledge, etc., but they excelled at people, ... people, teams, developing people, listening, approachable. Six out of the top 10 most commented-on strengths for the highly effective Creative leader group had to do with people and teams and their ability to develop people and lead them well.\r\nThe next set of strengths was purpose, vision and authenticity, and that rounded out the top 10 list of the most effective leaders. Yes, they have their technical skills and their intellect and brilliance. You have to have that to play. That\u2019s table stakes. It doesn\u2019t define leadership, and it doesn\u2019t scale if you\u2019re trying to run your leadership through your own creative brilliance. It scales when you can develop that in others.\r\nThe top 10 Creative competencies, according to write-in comments on the Leadership Circle Profile 360:\r\n[20:48]: Number one: Strong People Skills. 79% of leaders had three or more comments from their raters on good with people \u2013 79%. Reactive leaders rated only 28% good with people. That just sums it up. If you look at the list, Strong People Skills, Visionary, Team Builder, Personable/Approachable, Leads by Example. That\u2019s authenticity and integrity, right? Passion and Drive, that\u2019s purpose. Good Listener, Develops People, Empowers People, Positive Attitude. That\u2019s the top 10 list.\r\nLinks:\r\nTranscript:\r\nhttps://bit.ly/39ORe1F\r\nCreative and Reactive dimensions of the model:\r\nhttps://bit.ly/3qEgNJG\r\nLeadership Circle Profile:\r\nhttps://bit.ly/2LWyA03\r\nFull Circle Group:\r\nhttps://bit.ly/3qKvHho\r\nBob Kegan:\r\nhttps://bit.ly/3p3gU14\r\nSocialized and Self-Authoring mindsets:\r\nhttps://bit.ly/3c1N0q8\r\nStephen Covey:\r\nhttps://bit.ly/3sMd5zC\r\nMastering Leadership:\r\nhttps://leadershipcircle.com/en/our-books/\r\nDownload Practices to Boot Up Your Inner Game:\r\nhttps://bit.ly/3qGPBds\r\nSubscribe to the Rise Leaders newsletter:\r\nhttps://mailchi.mp/426e78bc9538/subscribe","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/5e2a1651-f07d-4625-a4ce-6102a6e8fbb9/6LA0y36ma6BNQMFC7TMPsMff.jpg"}
