Are you an agile leader?


Are you an agile leader? If so, do you create opportunities or do you disrupt?

Agile leaders are connected leaders. But what does this mean? 

In his book The Agile Leader, Simon Hayward explains that these leaders create organizations that are able to adapt and transform even in the midst of unprecedented changes and customer needs. They are also disruptive by being willing to question and re-create themselves and their organization even if the employees are less prone to this

So, agile leaders are opportunity-creating and disruptive at the same time. But which one of these characteristics is more dominant in your case? Where should you improve? The diagnostic questionnaire below will help you find out. Read the statements and remember which ones you think apply to you. Add up the number of applicable-to-you statements per column and whichever is higher is your dominant characteristic of the two.
