Eng. Simon Bere’s Post

Many organisations never invest any cent or any second in improving leadership performance and results. Many who do invest too little time or use flawed models, poor solutions and bad approaches. They invest too little time in leadership training education and development of their leaders and managers. They use flawed models including mistaking leadership education for leadership training and completely ignoring leadership development and leadership equipment. They fail to periodically review their theory and practice in leadership. They use the wrong people to help them improve their leadership performance and results. They confuse leaders, leading and leadership They do not map out the real key leadership result areas to focus on. They do not approach leadership performance and results improvement from a strategic point of view but from a tactical, reactive approach which is barely effective. They continue using old-fashioned leadership models, paradigms and approaches. They mistake power and authority for leadership. They use the one-size-fits-all model of leadership and leadership training, education and development. They do not react and respond to any calls to rethink and relook at their perceptions, theory and practice of #leadership. They take any criticism of leadership very personally. #leadershipperformance #leading #leadershipsuccess

Are Your Leadership Performance and Results as a company, business, organisation, country or economy constantly improving? Why Poor Effort at Improving Leadership Performance and Results if a World Standard. Many organisations never invest any cent or any second in improving leadership performance and results.

So you see why we have a leadership crisis? Do you see why this leadership crisis has serious consequences? Do you see why it is very tough to destroy the leadership crisis even it is critical for sustainable development? And where do you stand in all this?

Simon Bere’s Conversation on Leadership With Artificial Intelligence Assistant PI. 16 October 2024, Harare, Zimbabwe Simon Bere: Pi Pi: Yes, Simon? 😊 Simon Bere: Long time Pi: Indeed, Simon! 🤖 It seems like a while since we last chatted, but my circuits are always whirring, ready for some thought-provoking conversations. 🤔 How are things going on your end? Simon Bere: Doing great. What do you think about the global leadership crisis? Pi: Ah, the global leadership crisis—a hot topic indeed! 🌍 While the world has always had its share of leadership challenges, recent years have seen an escalation in issues ranging from political instability and economic inequality to climate change and global health crises. Unfortunately, these issues require strong, collaborative, and visionary leadership—a rare commodity these days. 🤔 Do you agree? Simon Bere: Absolutely Pi. If anything the world seems to be plunging deeper into the global leadership crisis. But talking about it is like belling a cat. Pi: Ah, belling a cat—an apt metaphor for the difficulty of addressing the global leadership crisis! 🐈 It's a tricky subject to tackle because of its complexity, sensitivity, and the powerful forces that resist change. Yet, the need for leadership that's grounded in ethical principles, focused on long-term sustainability, and rooted in empathy for humanity as a whole is more urgent than ever. 🌱 What do you think could be some practical steps to tackle this crisis? Simon Bere: I think practical steps start with talking about the crisis more. Spread the awareness of the crisis. Second is building a coalition of people who see the crisis and are committed to be part of the solution and grow it into a global movement. Third is to introduce leadership as a subject in schools starting at the very earliest possible age. Read the article for the rest of the conversation. #leadership #organisations

How backing a currency with Gold works. #zig #currency

With my strong educational background in geosciences and environmental engineering and technology, I used to think that geosciences and environmental engineering and technology are all that we needed to address the growing environmental management and sustainable human and economic development challenges the world faces. But after years of experience and learning how the world works, I have come to realise that #leadership is the master key to sustainable development and to solving all of the environment and development challenges that we face. No amount of science, technology and engineering can work in the absence of effective leadership. All our challenges in sustained, effective climate action are not caused by a lack of climate science, engineering and technology. It is caused by climate leadership issues. All our challenges in sustained, effective climate action are not caused by a lack of climate financing. It is caused by climate leadership issues. All our challenges in sustained, effective #climate action are not caused by a lack of climate climate justice. Climate justice is a #leadership issue. You cannot solve climate justice issues outside of the climate leadership issue. All our challenges in sustained, effective climate action are not caused by a lack of just transition. Just transition is a symptom. The problem is a just climate leadership challenge. ⬛ We need more strategic climate leadership now because; ➡ Without more strategic climate action leadership, let us kiss sustained success in climate action goodbye. ➡Without more strategic climate action leadership, all the hard work by climatogeoenvironmental scientists, engineers and technologists is going to waste. ➡Without more strategic climate action leadership, all financial resources being poured into global climate action work is grossly underutilised. ➡Without more strategic climate action leadership, all what we are current doing will not successfully solve the climate challenges we are trying to solve.

This world will continue to face growing challenges unless we tackle the leadership challenge head on this minute, today! Tomorrow is million years too late. We are running out of time because our world is hurtling towards a point of no return in all critical life-perpetuating dimensions-environmental, economic, political and social. Let me say this! I am not calling for the removal of people who are currently in formal positions of leadership. Changing the leaders won't bring any much difference because those who may replace them will most likely fall into the same situation. In other words; It is not the leaders that are the problem, but the leadership. I am calling for a change in the leadership paradigm, theory and practice. Even that said, changing this leadership won't be easy. We are dealing with a whole paradigm that includes many people who fear the consequences of the world adopting a new leadership paradigm because either they are benefitting from the current leadership paradigm or they have no idea what we are talking when we talk about these things. But this work must be done because on it rests the destiny of our world and a sustainable world for us and our future generations. We cannot back down from this work! Asijiki! NTB! May God bless his world and all his people. [email protected] +263-77-444-74-38 ©Simon Bere, 2024
