January 2022 ATDBR Meeting
Topic: Developing the Competencies that support Collaborative Leadership in a Modern Performance Environment
Date/Time: January 25, 2022 (11:30a-1:00p)
Location: Goodwood Library (Large Meeting Room)
** Virtual/Remote Participation available as registration option**
Session Summary:
Increased collaboration within modern organizational processes requires greater inclusion of increasingly diverse participants, which offers both benefits and challenges. The benefits include more diverse eyes on target, better informed decisions, improved acceptance of change requirements, and alignment with modern socio-cultural values. The costs include process losses associated with increased time allocated to processing the input of more participants, managing the conflict associated with diverse perspectives, and increased exposure of organizational decision-making processes to the push and pull of excessive self-interest. Modern leaders are increasingly expected to resolve the challenge of these often opposing forces. They are under increasing pressure to be more collaborative and secure the associated benefits, while at the same time required to be more focused, efficient and decisive, especially in a hyper dynamic and competitive world with much shorter deadlines.
There has been a significant proliferation in new leadership models that try to address this challenge, including things like emotionally intelligent leadership, authentic leadership, servant leadership and many others. Unfortunately, many of these models remain overly abstract and do not provide clear and detailed competency descriptions for modern leaders and those that support them. Recently, a group of interdisciplinary academics, consultants and practitioners worked on integrating modern models of collaborative leadership, and they produced a detailed competency pyramid that has provided a new roadmap for leadership development efforts in organizations like Microsoft and Boeing. This presentation will introduce you to this new integrated approach and will provide you with an opportunity to experience some of the central intra and interpersonal competencies contained within the new competency pyramid that supports collaborative leadership in a modern performance environment.
