Leadership Spectrum Agility:
The Leadership Spectrum Agility by Dr. Mary Lippitt of enterprise management limited provides a framework for helping leaders develop the right situational awareness and instincts to act without the blinders of conventional wisdom.
The leadership spectrum agility framework lists six situations – Inventing, Catalyzing, Developing, Performing, Protecting, and Challenging and then states high-level the Drivers, Approach, and Impediments.
According to the firm, the leadership spectrum agility helps in the following ways:
- Helps identify drivers of a given initiative.
- Reduces the reliance on old models and conventional wisdom.
- Identify pitfalls and come up with creative solutions
- Improve critical thinking and risk management
- Plug into emerging trends and patterns
- Build support for complex implementations
- Embrace situational awareness
Mary Lippitt is also the creator of Managing Complex Change framework.
While no framework is in of itself a panacea to complex corporate challenges, understanding the intricacies of different management concepts and frameworks helps leaders in making informed and data-driven decisions rather than stick to “we have always done it this way,” type conventional wisdom.
