Telling our origin story
Stories of origin come in many forms - how we became part of an organization, or how we emerged as a new person after a crisis.
However, we seldom examine what we include and exclude in those accounts and how our choices shape our present reality.

The Most In-Demand Skills in Digital Leadership

Adaptability
Sudden changes in the industry can disrupt the status quo, potentially derailing the success of your organization. In these situations a leader must remain flexible and adaptable, ready to make the quick decisions that can keep the company on track with minimal negative impact.
Risk-Taking
Putting speed and innovation ahead of tried-and-tested business practices often makes leaders cautious. However, in a fast-changing world, the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks.
For a start-up, the risks can be even greater but innovation is impossible without risk. And if you can’t take risks, you may not be cut out to be a digital leader.

Become more relatable as a new leader
Relationships with supervisors can be powerful motivators.
Enough personal information as to make yourself seem more relatable provided at an appropriate time might just be the key to a future successful career.
Make your leadership story successful
Introducing yourself as the new leader of a team can be pretty challenging, as people will want to know more about yourself as well as about your plans in regards to the future of the company.

When Charismatic Leadership Goes Too Far
Qualities of Charismatic Leader

From positive to negative
5 phases that take place as a leader’s charisma shifts from a positive to a negative quality:
- The first phase is characterized by the subtle sense on the part of followers that the leader does not want to be questioned.
- The second stage: sensing the leader's diminished appetite for being questioned or challenged, followers begin to self-censor, asking fewer questions and no longer playing devil's advocate.
- The third stage: a negative cycle in which compliments and agreement cause leaders to become overconfident. Leaders in this stage create their own sense of reality and become resistant to evidence that they may be incorrect.
- The fourth stage: Since the leader's views and actions are the only ones that matter, followers reduce their willingness to be proactive. They wait for directions and become passive. Decision making slows down.
- The fifth stage is characterized by people continuing to follow and ostensibly do only what is necessary but with a deep diminishment in enthusiasm and spirit.
