Are You Engaged?

How many of us look in the mirror when we reflect on that question?

Or do we consider leaders in the media, social media or our favorite movie stars in their “great” role as leader?

Closer to home, we often think about the leader at work - our boss, or organization head, in “picturing” a leader.

Leaders at work, from team lead to CEO, have significant bearing over whether we see ourselves joining their ranks. Not only that, it can be the deciding factor in whether we WANT to join their ranks, stay with the team, or move on. 

We often look for leaders who inspire us, and that can include some tangible skills.  D-sides has created a Fluidity Matrix to measure and assess organizational leadership capacity for key abilities such as supporting distributed decision-making, where everyone across teams has the autonomy to make decisions, and talent fluidity, where team members have the flexibility to try new roles across the organization.

We have developed the tools to understand your organization’s ability to adapt to contextual fluidity while remaining constant in your purpose. And we can use this assessment to determine the skills you need in your next leadership hire.

A successful hire can promote retention within an organization, inspire the needed leadership pool for 5 years from now (and less!), and ensure an organization remains responsive, effective, and efficient in building solutions.

When considering the best strategy for your organization, it is important to keep in mind that your current hiring strategy is not just to find an effective leader for the team, it is to build a strong leadership team well into the future.  At D-sides we can assist you in understanding the skills you need on your leadership team to hire the successful candidate to inspire your teams, and ensure your organization’s resilience.
