Why People Are the Key to the New Leadership Playbook

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Welcome to the twenty first article in the series “Be the Leader You Aspire to Be” here on The Price of Business Show, where I will focus on the trends which lie ahead of us and how they will affect humans and businesses. The articles are based on my book Energetic Leadership, which talks about 9 trends leaders must navigate to cater for employees increasing demand for more spiritual leadership and sustainable business models aligned with their life purposes. These articles are about business leadership in the new era. I hope you will find inspiration for your own leadership and the leader you aspire to be.

The first article outlined 9 trends for business leadership and focused on authentic curiosity as a key competency for leaders to master. The second and third explained the concept of energy frequencies as the source of our true potential, followed by the alignment of the company’s purpose with the life purposes of employees and customers.

The fourth covered the 6-5 different generations currently working, the fifth focused on self-care and the ability to be present and the sixth was about uncertainty and how to navigate in it. The seventh article talked about the importance of intuition in decision-making and the eighth, nineth and tenth articles were about what a healthy economy and society are and how we all can improve democracy.

In the eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth articles we looked at customer journeys built on healthy energy and how intuition and resilience can improve productivity. The fourteenth to sixteenth articles were about the world as a mirror of how we are doing as multi-dimensional humans and what we do with true AI. The last three articles were about the change of Change Management both in terms of timelines and the content and the urgent need for a new Leadership Playbook.

This article is about people and why people are the key to our new Leadership Playbook. In a way it is very simple. We have a planet with nature and animals. The animals live here in their symbiotic harmony with nature. Then the people came, and they made an unhealthy decision when they decided only to use their rational intelligence, forgetting about their intuitive intelligence. We are born with both. We need the two energies to be healthy.

We have got too far on the wrong track of what we think is great effective leadership and the world is now collapsing with people, structures, cultures, businesses and societies going into a kind of metamorphosis. We are dissolving so we can find back to our core and activate what really is driving us. First as humans, thereafter as employees either self-employed or hired.

In the natural world – nature – the process is natural. We who live with 4 seasons see it very clearly – autumn where the flower dies, winter where the flower gains strength to come back renewed, spring where the flower springs out, summer where it blossoms. Nature is of great joy, inspiration and healing to us all.

It seems like the people on the planet are in our winter and this time we must find the right way out. The exit where we together understand that we need to choose a holistic way. An exit that will lead us to a better understanding of what makes us healthy as the ultimate thing for people are to be healthy – physically, mentally, spiritually, relationally and socially. We need to be healthy to create healthy businesses and societies that give more than they take.

It is a historical time right now not just because of the US administration and their tariffs and other actions it is an adjustment of countries, systems, and structures which have come out of balance. We need to correct ourselves just like when the stock market makes corrections.

This time the correction has to do with the people and how we want to live and work. But it still seems like very few really understand the need to listen and act accordingly.

I have named the new Leadership Model – Energetic Leadership – which is when modern life design collides with old leadership habits it is time to change and tap into intuition and unleash the energetic sense of the future. It is a movement, a concept, a model, a book about how we walk on two feet using both our intuitive and rational intelligence together.

The purpose of the Energetic Leadership Model is to create healthy leadership for all on our planet.
