TRUSTED: The Level Above Influence

by Jane Anderson

Leadership Has Changed

The past paradigms of leadership were about command and control. The currency of leadership was about power and feeding the ego. It is the end of an era for this archaic approach. Today, organisations are becoming more transparent than ever and asking the question, "Who are our leaders ... really?" People want to be led by a human being who understands them and leads them at the same time.

The Impact of Disruption

According to the Institute for the Future, more than 47 per cent of jobs will be replaced by technology in the next 10 to 20 years. For organisations to survive in the future of disruption, leaders need to inspire people to be collaborative, creative and curious. This requires an open mind and outward focus. The only way this can be achieved is through authentic leadership and building trust.

The Power of Connected Communities and Tribes

Arrogance, bossiness and narcissism repel talent, ideas, trust and innovation. With decreasing human connection and artificial intelligence replacing jobs, a new style of leadership is needed-one that requires building communities and leading tribes with empathy, authenticity and vulnerability. Trust is the secret weapon to unlocking high performance in your team, organisation, tribe or community in the future of work.

[Kate · Rating 5 out of 5]

Just reading the table of contents had me hooked. Trusted is a valuable book to invest in for leaders who want to be part of the new paradigm. Jane Anderson’s use of research and statistics make it an evidence-based resource. Coupled with thought-provoking quotes from gurus like the Dalai Lama, and Tony Robbins, through to contemporary artists such as Eminem—also made it an easy and enjoyable read! This book has inspired to use its framework and rhetoric to become more “collaborative, creative, and curious” in my professional Marketing role for a mid-tier professional services firm. It also showed me how to leverage my existing influence to be elevated to the level above: Trusted.
