Dustin Seale and Ed Manfre are both partners at Heidrick & Struggles and the authors of 'Lead Through Anything.' Dustin has focused his career on helping leaders get better results through culture and leadership regardless of the challenges they may be facing. Ed shares the same passion and explains how his career was 'accidental' after starting professional life in a family owned boutique and how some very specific events catapulted him towards wanting to understand the dynamics of leadership.
The impact of both good and bad leaders is widespread as they create a lived experience for those around them. The essence of 'Lead Through Anything' is one of hope and application for leaders to successfully navigate the chaos. The average leader is 10 years into their career before they are offered any form of leadership training. Why? This book is a springboard for any leader.
The book focuses on three key principles that will make a difference in creating a world better led. Purpose, Vitality & Agility. The magic is when all three are in play at the same time!
Purpose: This is about leaders creating the right environment for success and who are ambitious for impact not self.
Vitality: At the self level it is to marshall, create and sustain your energy and to connect yourself to others and connect others as a team in order to create something greater than the sum of its parts.
Agility: Willingness to never be done and always learn. They explain the analogy of a rocket traveling through space, appearing to travel in a straight line but actually its constantly calibrating itself and course correcting. The same is true for leaders, always adjusting and adapting to the circumstances.
Dustin explains 'outside - in' and the leaders ability to think like a scientist to analyse and adjust to data. The 'inside - out' is all about vulnerability.
Ed also explains in this episode the importance and role of simplicity.
The book uniquely explains how we can understand our 'home base', a centre of gravity that we can come back to again and again as individuals and organisations as we explore and experiment how we can unleash the three principles of Purpose, Vitality & Agility to thrive.
