If you want to be an effective leader, you must lead by design.
Because, according to Moura Qualye, ‘Designed leadership uses the mindset, tools, techniques, and methods of design and designers to shape the practice of leadership.’
‘Designed leadership is about being grounded in both our geographic and psychological place and knowing how we fit into those places. It is about the continual search for our place- which can change our lives as leaders.’
‘Designed leadership suggests that our position, informed by our experiences and our knowledge of place, needs clarity but can change.’
‘Designed leadership allows you to go to a child’s place or a senior’s place, to think like one of them, play like one of them, and come back to your better positioned to make clear and valuable decisions.’
‘Strategic design is about stepping back, laying out what you know, and then asking questions to help identify the gaps.’
‘Attend to patterns- recognize them when useful, redesign them if necessary.’
‘Rebuilding begins with education. … Rebuilding also requires disruptions.’
‘Designed leadership is about tapping into the mind-set, tools, and techniques of the designer, to help shape more effective leadership. It centers on a reset of the person, of ways of being (mindset), and of ways of engaging one another (relationships and communication style.’
‘Designed leadership is about creating the best possible context to meet the needs of the moment.’
