'Anticipating Mind' Leadership


A leader's most important asset is the ability to anticipate changes in the environment and adapt to them quickly. The key mental skills that define 'anticipating mind' leadership are:


Observing—search out confirming and non-confirming information about your world view

Reasoning—clearly explain why you are following a course of action

Imagining—visualise new ideas for your company's policies and practices

Challenging—question your organisation's assumptions and test their validity

Deciding—make or influence decisions that will propel action to progress

Learning—master the information you need to keep you moving forward

Enabling—offer the people around you the knowledge, means, and opportunities to progress

Reflecting—invest time thinking about trade-offs and the consequences of those trade-offs that result from your decisions.
