7 Key Tensions Every Leader Must Balance

In decades past, executives were usually taught to practice command-and-control leadership. Today they’re often advised to be more nimble, more adaptive, and less controlling. The truth is that most executives need to be able to move back and forth between those two leadership styles. IMD leadership professor and social psychologist Jennifer Jordan offers tactics for navigating these tensions.

It’s really sad how few CEOs have any of these traits and they were mostly elevated through nepotism. They seem to only know two strategies; increase leanness because they don’t understand how to truly invest resources and people to experience true value creation and of course the fake it till you make your next offer. Meritocracy is a myth to distract the corporate peasants.

On what are you basing your assertion that CEOs now are the result of nepotism?

What research are you citing for this assertion?

This is interesting. Does this reach outside the business workplace as well?

Based on this analysis I see the traditional leader as someone who has a foundation but is stuck in cement unable to move anywhere meaningful. An emerging leader is like a kite flying in the wind, although they can fly they are grounded by a flimsy piece of string, one cut in the correct place and then the lite flies away without any hope of salvation. A good leader should be like the moon in the river. It is foundational, unchanging always moving forward aiming for the stars and preparing to move into bigger better and wider.

Leadership flaws seem to affect people way more in the long-term. Also, there is nobody in existence that has all seven qualities. Good luck - to all of us, I guess 🤷‍♂️

fully agree! That is why I suggest that you select 3-4 that are most important for your role.
