Leadership today is far more complex than ever, in a world that is changing rapidly and constantly. Regardless of the industry, changes and disruptions can happen suddenly and dramatically. The question arises – what is leadership really for? It is clear that leaders must act while considering all aspects of the business, not just their “personal leadership style.”

We have identified 12 areas, grouped into 4 categories, that summarize these aspects or dimensions. However, to be successful, merely knowing these dimensions is not enough. Leaders must choose and focus on a maximum of 3 dimensions that will become the main drivers of their decisions and leadership. Depending on this choice, the formula for success and the way managers and teams align will be completely different.

It all comes down to choice and focus. Successful companies have a very clear understanding of what drives them.
