“The pessimist complains about the wind. The optimist expects it to change. The leader adjusts the sails.”
John C. Maxwell
Kabir learning foundation recently concluded a Six month leadership enablement programme curated to build future readiness of their mid-level and also some senior management leaders. The programme was crafted after deep research and understanding about the requirements of the Oman based company into B2B and B2C business.
In today’s rapidly evolving, complex, and unpredictable world, effective leadership is no longer about having all the answers. It’s about navigating ambiguity, inspiring people with a compelling vision, and fostering resilience in times of uncertainty.
We live in a VUCA world—Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous—where change is constant and disruption is the new normal. Traditional command-and-control leadership models are failing to engage people or respond with agility.
Effective leaders today must:
- Embrace adaptive thinking over rigid planning.
- Inspire teams not just through KPIs, but by connecting purpose to performance.
- Stay grounded in their values, even while navigating uncertainty.
The were Five Pillars of the programme identified as key areas of focus for group and individual executive coaching of leaders from middle and senior Management.
Pillar 1 – Efficiency
- Streamlining processes and workflows
- Time management and prioritization techniques
- Leveraging technology and tools for productivity
- Optimizing resource utilization to reduce waste
Pillar 2 – Effectiveness
- Setting clear goals and KPIs for teams
- Building high-performing teams through delegation and empowerment
- Enhancing decision-making and problem-solving skills
- Continuous improvement and feedback mechanisms
Pillar 3 – Growth Mindset
- Cultivating a culture of learning and resilience
- Embracing change and innovation
- Overcoming fears of failure and fostering experimentation
- Personal development plans for self and team growth
Pillar 4 – Soulfulness
- Developing emotional intelligence and empathy
- Leadership with purpose and authenticity
- Building trust and meaningful relationships
- Promoting well-being, balance, and mindfulness in the workplace
Pillar 5 – Future Readiness:
As we look to the future, effective leaders must invest in:
- Learning agility: Staying relevant by unlearning, learning, and relearning.
- Empowering others: Developing leadership at every level through trust and autonomy.
- Systems thinking: Understanding how decisions impact the broader ecosystem—people, technology, and planet.
- Technology fluency: Not necessarily coding, but understanding the ethical and strategic implications of AI, automation, and data.
Through our sessions, we explored frameworks like the Leadership Agility Compass, CUVA and 4 Quadrants method to assess and build people ; This is where the leaders learned to balance Results, People, Adaptation, and Purpose—skills that are essential for both present challenges and future shifts.
Reflective questions used for leadership enablement –
- What kind of legacy do I want to leave behind as a leader?
- How can I respond instead of react to uncertainty?
- Am I creating more leaders or followers in my team?
“The best way to predict the future is to create it.”
— Peter Drucker
