Political Intelligence – Leadership in a Shared Power World
Leaders in all sectors are now operating in an environment of shared power – and adjusting to it means they have to do things differently. They need to work with multiple stakeholders and come up with long term, innovative solutions that benefit all. In the video above Valerie Wark and Gerry Reffo outline the key aspects of this important leadership approach.
“Tomorrow’s leaders need to look beyond the urgent and immediate day-to-day demands to see what the future needs and how that shapes what they do today.”
The PQ leadership model of political intelligence captures how smart leaders deliver success for themselves and others in this world. PQ leadership is a new leadership concept that enables governments and businesses to build relationships and work together in a more effective way.
Five facets of political intelligence
The PQ model describes the key skills and behaviours of five facets: futurity, power, empathy with purpose, trust, versatility.
Where are you strong and where do you need to develop? When all 5 facets are developed and working in harmony PQ leadership delivers. Watch the authors share their insights in the video.
The book, Leadership PQ: How Political Intelligence Sets Successful Leaders Apart, is available on amazon.co.uk and amazon.com.
