Recently as I prepared for delivering a Leading Through Change programme I thought I would research the different leadership models that exist. Boy, was that a bad idea, as there are a plethora of models all extolling some different perspective. Nothing right or wrong with any of them, but the challenge is that they all focus on something outside the leader.

“Disruptor” has become the “feature-of-choice” for contemporary leaders on the move. It is a moniker that signals the pursuit of innovation and rapid change, not a cautious incremental improvement. It telegraphs a leader who is cutting-edge and transformational; one who cultivates risk-taking and experimentation. It is a convenient tag that often camouflages the real enabler—curiosity.

Most HR leadership philosophies are grounded in two completely faulty assumptions — “change is hard” and “engagement drives results.” Those beliefs have inspired expensive attempts to keep change from being disruptive to employees. What these engagement programs actually do is create and reinforce feelings of victim-hood and leave employees unprepared to adapt to real changes that are necessary for the health and profitability of their enterprises.
