What does it mean to be a responsive leader
A responsive leader recognizes the ever-fluctuating nature of business and can quickly react to new challenges and circumstances. A responsive leader also goes one step further, anticipating challenges before they arise and taking proactive measures to face them.
A responsive leader is driven to understand people and the operating context. Think about what it means to respond or react. You can’t respond to something you aren’t aware of, right? A responsive leader seeks to understand what’s really happening – as opposed to what he wants to see.
A responsive leader acknowledges when she doesn’t have the necessary tools/skills to handle a situation, and she seeks to build those skills, however uncomfortable that growth may be.
A responsive leader believes in continuous improvement – individually and organizationally.
