Quarantined Leadership – Shades & Shadows – a reflection on an aborted skewed leadership

Authentic leadership runs through tributaries of facets and diverse dimensions, all meandering for clarity of vision and purpose. Leaders or managers graduating into leadership situations are adaptive learners as well as unlearners, ready to handle and manage change, including unexpected changes, even black swan moments. They genuinely believe in their team and themselves, taking them along and guiding and steering them through challenges, surmountable or insurmountable. They endure changing obstacles by transforming them into possibilities, turning arduous situations into a plethora of options as they move forward towards accomplishing organisational objectives. Their credentials are established by their overall self-driven initiative, penchant for learning, and forward-looking considerations for consumers, both external and internal, including other stakeholders, while adhering to the rules governing the regulatory landscape.
