The old era has passed, and a new era is emerging - we are living in the grey zone. In this in-between space, a new leadership paradigm beckons. Leadership is no longer about the leader but the people they serve, and how they serve them in the face of great change and unpredictability.
In this second annual publication of Illuminaire, we are drawing on science, strategy and story to bring light to what really matters when it comes to leading in the grey zone. These pages consider the leadership response-ability of the “me” (leading self), “we” (leading teams and organisations) and “all of us” (leading in the larger eco-system) to help leaders develop the courage and capacity to be makers in a new and uncertain world.
