7 New Leadership Trends for 2021

On the latest episode of the H3 Leadership Podcast, i share about 7 New Leadership Trends for 2021. I’ve listed them below.

Thanks to our sponsors Live Control and AIM.

LiveControl is a unique production and camera service that remotely produces your church service or event, for a fraction of the cost. Contact their team for a live DEMO.

Agape International Missions (AIM) is rescuing girls from human trafficking. Please join in with AMPLIFY, and join thousands of people praying against trafficking on January 31. Get more info and sign up to pray.

I also chat with Doug Paul, innovation strategist, part of Catapult, and author of Ready or Not: Kingdom Innovation for a Brave New World.

Here are the 7 New Leadership Trends for 2021:

1. Removal of the middleman—consumer has the power - distribution is key now.

2. Home is the new frontier. The center of our existence. So, leadership is shifting towards leading remotely from your home.

3. Change is now constant and still speeding up—must have entrepreneurial approach and adaptive mindset. Change creates opportunity. Uncertainty is now new normal.

4. Curator is the new influencer—I want a dinner table conversation instead of a conference. I want a trusted third party instead of endless options. I want someone to cut through the numbing options and give me a few.

5. Project generation and new reality of self leading—remote, independent and project based. The loss and removal of hierarchy and command and control, which means self-discipline is crucial as a leader—must be able to lead yourself. Less of someone looking over your shoulder or managing you.

6. Hybrid is in. Analog is in. People are going to be starving for connection and community and belonging. But digital is in—remote work is here to stay—people love shopping online. So it’s a “yes/and” new reality.

7. EQ is equal or greater than IQ—empathy ranks high along with competency. Emotional smarts along with tech or book smarts. I have to be able to connect with people. Listening and understanding. Connecting emotionally. Constantly being aware of mental and emotional health in our teams.
