What is transformational leadership?
According to Carol S Pearson, PhD, former president of the Pacifica Graduate Institute, International Scholar, and New York Times, Best Seller Author defined transformational leadership as a productive fuel of integrity of the vision of a leader. Developing future leaders is a priority and crucial for both the public and private sector organizations globally more now than ever.
BMWC has designed and developed its learning programs into seven topics, which are a necessity to ensure applied transformational leadership is present 100 percent throughout the life of an organization as follows:
Continuity and Succession Planning
Developing future complex adaptive leaders to ensure that there is a pipeline of talent ready to step into key leadership roles are needed more now than ever before. Our current leaders are retiring, moving on, or transitioning within the organization or community at large. Without a robust leadership development program, organizations risk experiencing leadership gaps that can disrupt operations and hinder long-term implementation of relevant, profound, effective, and useful success stories. We are storytelling animals and hardwired for stories.
Driving Innovation, Growth, and Transformation
Future leaders play a vital role in driving innovation, fostering growth, and transforming people lives within organizations. They bring fresh perspectives, different ideas, and innovative approaches to solving problems in real-time with supporting the organization's adaptive capacity. Agility is needed in constantly changing market conditions and technological advancements in highly strategic competitive environments.
Strengthening Resiliency in the Organizational Culture
Future leaders have the opportunity to shape and reinforce the organization's mission, culture, and values. By investing in leadership development, organizations can cultivate a leadership cadre that embodies the desired cultural norms, future state, and ethical behaviors to co-create wellness leadership, a common language, and a healthier productive work environment for all consumers and employees to thrive.
Membership/Employee Engagement and Retention
Courageous leadership and courageous followers are the key drivers of membership/ employee engagement and retention.
When members/employees see opportunities for growth and development within the organization, they are more likely to be self-motivated, committed, positive actions, and loyal. Leadership development programs demonstrate the organization's commitment to investing in its members/ employees, which can reduce turnover, boost morale, increase productivity, bring forth greater success for individuals, and the organization's impact in the world in this new era.
Success in Highly Strategic Complex Environments
In today's fast-paced and complex business landscape, unpredictable changes, organizations need leaders who can navigate ambiguity, lead change, and make informed choices in chaotic environments. Developing future leaders equips individuals with the knowledge, skills, and abilities needed to thrive in such environments and steer the organization towards fulfilling its mission and desired state of a positive impact in the world.
Customer Satisfaction and Loyalty
Future leaders play a crucial role in shaping customer's or constituents' experience and driving customer satisfaction and loyalty. Leaders who prioritize customer-centricity, quality, and continuous improvement can co-create a competitive advantage for the organization and build long-lasting relationships with internal and external customers.
Social Responsibility and Sustainability
Future leaders have the opportunity to drive social responsibility and sustainability initiatives within organizations. By instilling values such as corporate social responsibility, environmental stewardship, and ethical leadership in future leaders, organizations can contribute positively to society and enhance their reputation as responsible corporate and world citizens.
