Food for thought 💡 Expand the cup while filling it 🤔 Imagine that the leader’s mind is like the cup below. When a leader goes to a horizontally focused leadership program the goal is to fill the cup with new information and knowledge. What about vertical development ?🤔 A vertically focused intervention doesn’t aim to fill the cup, it aims to expand the cup itself. It increases the leader’s capacity. That way the leader can hold more complexity, more uncertainty, and more perspectives. Both forms of development are important and connected. Great leadership development aims to both fill the leaders mind (horizontal) and grow the leaders mind (vertical). Vertical development takes the concept of ‘growth mindset’ and gives the leaders a map and a compass to go on a developmental journey. #leadership #leadeship_development #verticaldevelopment #strategicthinking #strategicplanning

The true test of leadership lies in how you enable others to succeed. Often, leaders unknowingly create barriers by holding onto opportunities, removing support, or fearing others’ growth. But a great leader doesn’t climb alone they create steps for others to rise. 🌟 At African Leadership Excellence Academy (AFLEX), we ask: ✅ Are you building systems that empower others? ✅ Are you fostering growth without fear of being surpassed? Leadership isn’t about being at the top it’s about helping others get there too. How are you building the ladder for those around you?

I recently participated in a workshop hosted by the Webinar and Workshop committee of Exeed College on "Empowering New Age Leaders with Purpose-Driven Leadership." It was an eye-opening experience that delved deep into the importance of leading with a clear sense of purpose. The workshop, led by the insightful Rajashree K.N , equipped us with valuable strategies and practices to: Discover our own purpose and how it fuels our leadership style. Lead with authenticity in today's ever-changing landscape. Build self-awareness for more empowered decision making. These key takeaways will undoubtedly help me develop a more meaningful work experience, strengthen team cohesion, and ultimately drive organizational success. A big thanks to the organizers for putting on such a valuable workshop! If you're looking to elevate your leadership skills and create a lasting impact, keep an eye out for future workshops from this committee. #purpose #leadership #workshop #leader #coach #doctorate #leading

Years of leadership experience taught me to communicate with polished, complex, corporate lingo. But in a recent session I was conducting at The Embodied Leadership Program for Young Leaders, while discussing the shift from tasks to value, my 19-year-old student nailed it with: “You mean chore vs reward?” It was a powerful reminder—sometimes, our experience adds layers that weigh our words down, making them more complex than needed. The next generation often has a gift for clarity, and there’s much we can learn from their fresh perspective. Their ability to see straight to the core of an issue, without overcomplicating things, is refreshing. It’s a reminder that while experience brings depth, it can sometimes blur simplicity. Lots of lessons learnt for me in that session. How are you embracing #simplicity and #openness in your communication? I am having a ball #teaching them, #learning from them and #unlearning at the same time at The School of Leadership for Young Leaders #Leadership #LearningFromYouth #SimplifyToLead #ExperienceVsClarity #SheejaShaju #LeadingYouth #YoungLeaders

A boring ‘hook’ but hey, my brain, too, has off days 🤷♀️ Hook: Rethinking Sustainable Leadership A week or two ago, I ran a poll (pictured) where I asked people to vote which of the three factors, in their opinion, where the most important in making sure that leadership roles are sustainable. I’m not going to lie, the results both surprised me and didn’t surprise me 🤷♀️ They surprised me because they challenged my bias but didn’t surprise me because majority of leadership development programs focus on exactly that - interpersonal relationships. But are those interpersonal skills and strategies really sustainable if they are not grounded in true understanding and self-leadership? Being a speaker (someone that speaks a lot 🤷♀️), I chose to do a video (link below) in response to my poll results. https://lnkd.in/dcsfchu7 Open to challenge and discussion 😊 Because isn’t it discussion and debate that births the best ideas? #leadership #leaders #leadershipdevelopment #bridginggaps

Ready to take your leadership abilities to the next level? It's time to register for K-State Olathe's 2025 leadership series — Management Strategies: Pathways to Leadership. Here's what attendee Maggie Madden had to say: "What surprised me most about the leadership series was how much I learned from the other participants. This series brings together people from a diverse set of industries and with a wide range of experiences in leadership, and throughout the course you get to know the other participants quite well. While I learned a lot from the instructors, some of the more valuable takeaways came from small group discussions where we had the opportunity to learn from each other’s experiences and share strategies that we’ve successfully used within our own leadership journeys."
