How To Build And Lead Mission-Driven Teams<\/span><\/h2>\n

If the last couple years have proven anything, it\u2019s that the world around us is changing faster than ever before. There\u2019s so many parts of our daily lives, from iPhones to climate change to the phrase \u201cdigital natives,\u201d that our great-grandparents would be confused (and maybe even frightened) by.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The future is now. But many businesses are still being run like it\u2019s the 1950s, when really, we\u2019re way out of the industrial age. This is the digital economy, baby, and businesses need to be as fast and flexible as a cyborg yoga teacher if they want to keep up.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One way to make sure your team stays ahead of the game is to be mission-driven. This is an autonomous, data-driven, and multidisciplinary style of working that explodes everything you thought you knew about business management. Mission-driven teams are\u00a0agile<\/a>, results-focused, and give team members the power to rely on their own expertise. Not only is this a super-efficient way of working, it\u2019s good for us as employees, too.\u00a0<\/p>\n

6 Leadership Paradoxes for the Post-Pandemic Era<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"by <\/span>Paul Leinwand, <\/a>Mahadeva Matt Mani, <\/a>and <\/span>Blair Sheppard<\/a>, April 23, 2021<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The pandemic has accelerated a trend that has been unfolding over the last decade. As the world has grown more digital and complex, the range of decisions that leaders need to make has broadened, spanning from big picture strategic thinking to careful execution, to advancing technology roadmaps and upskilling and engaging employees. And decision-making criteria too have expanded, increasingly focusing on ESG considerations in addition to narrowly defined profit expectations. The past year has been particularly intense, pushing leaders to make decisions for which they had no previous experience \u2014 and do so quickly.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
To succeed in this new era of value creation, leaders need new skills and capabilities. Our in-depth\u00a0research<\/a>\u00a0of more than a dozen companies that have transformed and positioned themselves for success in this new world \u2014 including Microsoft, the Cleveland Clinic, and Philips \u2014 shows that leaders at these companies sought to be proficient across a wide set of characteristics rather than relying solely on their areas of strengths. They learned how to work together with others who have different backgrounds and different ways of thinking, and they emphasized collaborating together to lead their business despite all their differences. (If you\u2019re interested in participating in a\u00a0survey<\/a>\u00a0about leadership, you can find more details at the end of this article.)<\/div>\n
