Balancing determination and flexibility takes creativity.
Flexibility is an art form and depends on creativity.Leaders cannot live in a bubble; they constantly calibrate their behavior to the needs of their constituencyIn my work, I emphasize the determination required to become a leader—if you don’t have the will and energy to persevere, you won’t succeed. But determination by itself is not enough.
In other words, leaders need to be the leader that people want. It’s simple and basic —until you need to present yourself in new, unaccustomed ways that feel uncomfortable. You may find yourself transposing new ideas of who you are onto notions of yourself that you’ve held for years. You may even ask, “Am I supposed to be somebody else, so that people will grant me the top spot?”that makes flexibility almost a kind of art form.
Denise’s story demonstrates that determination is situational. It takes different forms depending on how much we need to accommodate other people’s demands on us. We cannot be single-minded in pursuing; we cannot assume that everything is up to us in terms of how well we satisfy objective standards. Subjective standards may be equally important—and much harder to satisfy because they are intangible.
Do I see my management style as just fine, so that other people are out to lunch when they demand changes?
