Early in my leadership days it often felt that I was expected to be the wizard of ALL things. I believe there is a changed truth to the ‘wizard of all things’ concept. Currently, much knowledge has advanced to understand the role of leadership but I have no doubt that many people in positions of leadership still feel the age old responsibility of a wizard. Nonetheless, a leader of today would be wise to embrace the multidisciplinary contributions of the world around them. A leader today is encouraged to fit the pieces together to ensure an inclusive, authentic, representational contribution to a bigger picture solution. While a leader may not be the expert in every piece of the puzzle, a leader must be aware of the pieces and enable the individual pieces to be brought together.
BMG has extensive experience to work with you to co-design a process that has brought all the pieces together. We believe leadership has the option to seek much needed wizard support! BMG is prepared to provide a co-designed process to bring your exceptional pieces together.
