The Six Pillars of Effective Leadership
Discovering Next-Gen Leadership with Lumo
Imagine walking into a dark room, where it's hard to see the path ahead. As a manager, this is often how leadership feels—navigating through uncertainties and challenges. At Lumo, we believe in lighting up this path, helping you become a beacon of effective leadership in your organization. Our Six Pillars Model is designed to do just that, defining the skills essential for thriving in the 21st century.
The Interconnected Pillars of Leadership
Effective leadership is not just about being good at one thing but about how different skills work together. For example, being adaptable helps managers change plans quickly, while having a clear vision provides direction. Encouraging innovation keeps the team creative and engaged, supported by caring leadership that builds a strong, motivated team. By practicing self-care, managers ensure they are at their best to inspire and lead effectively. Each pillar supports the others, creating a well-rounded and strong leadership style.
The First Step: A 360-Degree Assessment
Our journey together begins with a detailed 360-degree assessment. Think of this as turning on the lights, revealing each manager’s strengths and areas for growth. We use the results of this Six Pillars Assessment to personalize each manager's growth journey. Additionally, we consider the specific needs of the organization to customize the development plan further, ensuring it aligns with both individual and organizational goals.
The Six Pillars of Effective Leadership
1. Adaptability Ace
Consider Emma, a manager at a rapidly growing tech startup. Change is the only constant in her world. As an Adaptability Ace, Emma learns to embrace change, make quick decisions, and stay focused even in uncertain situations. This ability to adapt keeps her team agile and productive, no matter what challenges arise.
2. Human Touch Hero
Meet Raj, a department head in a multinational company. Raj understands that his team's success hinges on their well-being and morale. As a Human Touch Hero, he has regular one-on-ones, supports team development, and fosters an inclusive environment. By valuing emotional intelligence and open communication, Raj builds a motivated and cohesive team.
3. Impact Igniter
Then there's Maria, who leads a project team in a healthcare organization. Maria knows that delivering results is crucial. As an Impact Igniter, she sets clear goals, measures progress, and holds herself accountable. Her focus on tangible outcomes drives her team to achieve their objectives, making a real difference for their stakeholders.
