The 7 Traits Of Disruptive Leaders
For disruptive leaders, it isn’t about change for the sake of change. It’s about increasing value through change. Disruptive leaders typically share these seven traits:
Fearless
- They are fearless in pursuing the truth. They are constantly testing products, services, and strategies against where the market is heading, and they aren’t afraid to tell people when things aren’t working.
- They are decisive and inspire confidence. Teams want leaders that see the future and lead them where they need to go. Disruptive leaders are able to articulate their vision of the future and break down the steps needed to meet that vision.
- They are adaptable. When disruptive ideas don’t work, they move on. Even the best disruptive thinking may fall short when markets shift or new information comes to light. They don’t see failure as an end result, but an opportunity to learn what does not work in order to find what does work.
- They are often life-long learners. They have a nearly insatiable interest in a multitude of topics and often find insight and inspiration in unexpected places. They constantly ask why and why not. They seek counsel from colleagues and accept coaching and training.
- They understand that disruption can cause uncertainty for team members. Amid chaos, they keep everybody focused on the job at hand. In times of change, they are comfortable with uncertainty.
Customer focused mindset is predominant…
- They are customer-obsessed and product-obsessed. They focus on making better products that will solve customer problems and find efficiencies to reduce costs. They are rarely satisfied and constantly looking for the next revision.
- They are rule breakers by nature. Disruptive leaders have a healthy skepticism of past practices. They approach tasks looking for ways to improve.
