ABSTRACT

This chapter provides the changes to the business landscape that necessitate the new way of thinking. It reviews a framework for leadership decision making and show its connections to the development of informed intuition. The chapter examines how leaders can blend intuition with more rational, data-driven approaches to decision making, demonstrating how they can successfully capitalize on their intuition as one piece of a larger puzzle. It defines potential as a leader's ability to drive and responds to change, to think quickly and flexibly, to adapt to complex interpersonal or emotional demands, and to intrinsically and extrinsically generate motivation to achieve. Personal values are also encompassed within this component. It's clear to see how closely the dimensions of potential align with the needs of a rapidly changing Digital Age. In both leading researchers' analyses of the Digital Age and our Deloitte Leadership Framework, adaptability is paramount for success.
