In the era of globalization, digitalization and networking, established hierarchical structures are increasingly under pressure. Growing market complexity and uncertainty are placing new demands on the ability of companies and organizations to change and innovate—demands that, in turn, call for a new kind of leadership.

Today’s requirements: adaptability and innovation

Agility is now a response to help organizations become capable of acting swiftly and responsively in the face of change within a complex environment. This has significant implications for how people collaborate within the organization—and especially for leadership.

This approach moves away from emphasizing hierarchy as a guiding force and instead focuses on distributing responsibility and optimizing cooperation between employees. This results in a massive change in the understanding and role of leadership.

In the current environment of increasingly dynamic and complex markets, agile leadership has proven to be helpful in dealing appropriately with uncertainty and unpredictability in organizations.

What does agile leadership mean?

Analysis and long-term planning take a back seat, as do directive and controlling behavior. Process control is called for, and that requires a good deal of trust. Decisions are now best made where the problems arise and therefore where the experience is. This demands a fundamentally different mindset, new tools, and a different way of working together from the entire team.

Clarity about the common purpose serves as “invisible leadership”
A high degree of empowerment of employees, often in the form of self-managing teams, enables faster action (avoidance of “bottle necks” due to rigid hierarchy)
Integrative decision-making processes increasingly involve those affected and experts
Collective intelligence replaces the limited knowledge of individuals
Focus on results, not on how to get there (more transparency)
Willingness to experiment and quick implementation (“Safe enough to try”)
Customer proximity and orientation are always at the forefront
Tailor-made communication formats with higher frequency and frequent feedback
Communication at eye level (less “push”, more “pull”)
