With the deepening economic crisis, it seems obvious that traditional management and leadership models do not work anymore in these turbulent, complex and global business environments. Newtonian mechanistic paradigm used in business and management for decades does not work anymore and we need new paradigms and ways of thinking to transform current economic problems into business opportunities. The leaders of the future will have to deal with even more globalization, constant interruptions and change, they will have to have even greater collaboration skills, they will have to adopt more flexible leadership styles, eschew formal power and accept knowledge-based power as well as to accept positive disobedience. At the personal level, leaders will have to ensure their own longevity, stress resilience and improved mental, physical and emotional capacities in order to meet the increasing demand for top performance and excellence.

 At Senior Executive Excellence (www.seniorexecutiveexcellence.com) and The Leadership Alliance we specialise in providing cutting edge paradigms for developing skills for leaders of the future to achieve personal and professional excellence. One the latest training programmes I developed is an EMERGENT Leadership Model, a leading edge paradigm for honing the leaders of the future using the power of energy, emotions, beliefs and social network interactions. The keywords for this model are: Emotions, Mastery, Energy, Rooted in Core, Great Performance, Emerging Leaders, New paradigm and Transformation vertically. In this programme, 5 energetic levels are identified for individuals and organizations, and a number of scientific and complementary techniques and exercises are used to identify and raise the current energetic level, move up on the emotional scale, eliminate limiting beliefs, achieve more positive frame of mind and access their inner genius. This is done first at individual level, and the increased energetic level of EMERGENT leaders and all employees is then transferred and spread throughout organization through social network interactions resulting in better motivation, more creativity greater performance and increased profits.
