WOB has collaborated with neuro-marketing strategist, Carolyn McSweeney-Grant to develop a book from 58 reports on leadership between 2011 and 2019.
An output of the WOB Next Generation of Female Leaders program, the reports contained the output of interviews with nearly 800 leaders from around Australia and across the globe. While no individual leader is identified in the book, Legacy Leadership, their learnings and the knowledge they imparted to the participants on the Next Gen program have been crunched down into:
Six core foundations of legacy leadership:
- Stakeholder advocacy
- Social and emotional intelligence
- Strategic purpose and alignment
- Growth / Benefit mindset
- Psychological safety
- Trust and accountability
.....and 12 Principles
- Value Employees
- Share learning and collaboration
- Customer-Centricity as a Priority
- Critical Decision-making
- Transformation / Change
- Ethics and Transparency
- Succession Planning
- Corporate Social Responsibility
- Adaptability to Volatility, Uncertainty and Complex Ambiguity (VUCA)
- Communications and Conversational Intelligence
- Financial Metrics versus Non-Financial Metrics
- Diversity and Inclusion
The book also contains a legacy leadership competency framework and assessment that can be used to inform and train the next generation of leaders.
We acknowledge the 278 graduates from the Next Gen program who have gone onto leadership and board roles around Australia and overseas, the syndicate advisors who supported their journey and the many high profile speakers and presenters who contributed to this signature program for WOB. Your time and effort is appreciated.
