What makes some leaders so effective when the stakes are high,
while others fall short? Why are some able to not only survive but
to lead their organizations to new heights even in risky,
fast-changing times? The answer is succinct but multi-layered: such
leaders display courage, judgment, and fortitude. High-stakes
leadership does not require unnatural powers, nor is it predicated
on a dangerous situation. The three signature character traits can
be cultivated by anyone at any level in any organization, big or
small. Organizational and leadership consultant Constance Dierickx
describes high-stakes leadership in a simple, three-part model that
illuminates the mindsets, strategies, and tactics leaders must draw
upon to make tough decisions, take an unpopular stand, or ignore
convention, providing real-world examples across a range of sectors
and industries. Dierickx developed her model of high-stakes
leadership to help her clients-executives at organizations ranging
from start-ups to nonprofits to large, global companies-better
define what they need to bring strategy to life. This, she found,
is the great gulf in business, the vast space between idea and
results. High-Stakes Leadership helps leaders sharpen their ability
to: act decisively, with clarity and focus test ideas using reason,
and course correct as needed be resolute and inspire others to
continue, even in the face of challenges Leading requires the
courage to make conscious decisions about what to do, the judgment
to separate information from short-term trends, and the fortitude
to remain true to oneself and one's mission. When leaders do these
things, they also become teachers, leading their teams by example,
often without realizing it. The essential aspects of good
leadership endure even as the environment and tactics change.
Indeed, courage, judgment, and fortitude are not merely tools for
survival, they are the means by which we sculpt the future.
