Kevin Eikenberry shares his expertise on flexible leadership, arguing that flexibility is the essential antidote to uncertainty in our complex, ever-changing world. Drawing from his experiences growing up on a Michigan farm and three decades running his leadership development company, he offers practical wisdom on leading through turbulent times.
• The key to flexible leadership is embracing "both/and" thinking instead of "either/or" approaches
• Leaders must manage tensions between priorities rather than choosing one extreme
• When facing uncertainty, leaders should share what they know when they know it to prevent harmful rumors
• Creating a flexible organization requires having conversations about change, not just informing people
• During change, remind people what's NOT changing to provide stability and context
• Micromanagement prevents organizations from accessing up to 40% of their employees' skills
• If your leadership approach isn't evolving while the world is changing, you're increasingly out of alignment
