Our leadership models need to be refounded. In the organisational sphere, in the emergence of 2020, the charismatic leader – the all-powerful deus ex machina and visionary leader – has definitively proved ineffective and inadequate.
We are dealing with a change that involves our deepest convictions and our worldview. It is indeed time to look forward, with a sense of reality and inventiveness at the same time.
Awair’s new leadership model reflects this evolution: a radical transformation of mindset, starting with the individual and extending to organisations and society as a whole. Our aspiration is to accompany individuals and teams on this exciting journey of existential transformation.
The 4 basic factors of the new leadership
Futures thinking
Operating in the change
Leggi di più
We are talking about curiosity, the ability to think in terms of the big picture, to “connect the dots” so as to create a credible, albeit provisional, interpretative framework, which in turn allows a realistic working hypothesis to be formulated.
Agile to action
Distributed responsibility
Leggi di più
Agile methods and teams are based on a disciplined project management approach that encourages self-organisation and accountability, frequent reassessment and continuous readjustment.
Inclusion & compassion
Feeling the connection
Leggi di più
Now that the VUCA world has definitely materialised in everyone’s life, anyone in a leadership position has realised how difficult (and futile) it is to try to maintain a «strong» leadership attitude. Which does not mean replacing it with a «weak» one. Rather, the opposite.
Awareness & presence
Living in the present moment
Leggi di più
Showing empathy and compassion towards others is difficult if we do not first tune inward to understand our emotions and fears, assimilate them and learn to take care of ourselves.
Proposals for the new millennium
Our proposals are moments out of gear, dedicated to broadening the gaze and expanding horizons, feeding the mind with good, positive ideas that regenerate energy and open up new possibilities. Moments of reflection, in which to experience dialogue and listening.
Through the virtual medium, we use speech, but also drawing, and even the body. The aim is to develop new mental approaches, because everything starts with awareness of our mental model and beliefs.
Workshops
Proposals are translated into workshops to engage, co-create and grow:
- Collective and open: they break down functional and hierarchical barriers. Anyone who wants to participate can do so, contributing energy and ideas.
- Expandable: around the same idea we can design any format, from a half-hour webinar for 300 people to create awareness, to a customised programme for small groups to trigger tangible change.
- Modular: themes are complementary, exploitable individually or freely combinable in harmonious paths that we can build together. In any case, the impact on participants is structural.
Mindsets for Change
Gain awareness of the mindsets that hinder learning and replace them with more constructive models.
Trust
Recognise the rational and emotional aspects of the trust relationship and improve the ability to build and preserve credit.
The Miracle of Presence
Cultivating awareness through thoughts, emotions and physical sensations, to cope better with stress, improve performance and live happier.
The “Who am I” Story
Using storytelling techniques to communicate a personal and convincing vision.
Leverage on Values
Increase awareness of what is really important to us, accelerating the achievement of personal and professional goals.
Ego vs. Eco-Mindset
Develop a more systemic approach that facilitates the rise of innovative and sustainable solutions.
Adaptive Decision-Making
Harnessing the power of collective intelligence, being open to feedback and the possibility of going back on decisions.
Deep Listening and Empathy
Bringing a meditative quality to our ability to listen, develop empathy and compassion.
Difficult Conversations
Learning to discuss what matters most: thorny, emotionally relevant issues that touch us deeply.
Diversity & Inclusion
Recognising and overcoming unconscious bias to develop an inclusive orientation.
Strategic Networking
Cultivate relationships in a more planned and structured way, and become a meeting point for ideas and resources.
Political Savvy
Navigating the political dynamics of organisations to create consensus ethically and responsibly.
Manage Energy, Not Time
Learn to take care of and regenerate your capital of physical, emotional, mental and spiritual strength.
Talent & Self Realisation
Discovering one’s true talents and deepest passions to realise one’s full potential through self-awareness, curiosity and discipline.
Resilience & Optimism
Increase one’s resilience after a crisis or setback and develop a positive attitude towards the future.
We want to offer the opportunity to let go of old mental models that hinder us, to discover some resources we didn’t know we had.
