Agile Leadership
Technological advances, the globalization of the economy, and the need to innovate to survive, require organizational leadership to develop a better operating system to better process complexity. It needs to increase its capabilities to make meaning. Agile leaders do this by developing the depth and breadth of their cognitive and emotional capacities.
What is Leadership Agility?
It is a framework through which leaders can assess their current levels of personal and professional development. To develop higher levels of agility, leaders need to work from the inside-out. Enhanced self-awareness and reflection increase the leader’s capabilities to bring new insight into what needs doing.
Think of Leadership Agility as a meta-competency which encompasses the required skills and behaviors associated with a leader’s role. It is a model of being, rather than doing.
At each level of agility, the leader transcends what went before. Following the Leadership Agility compass, leaders work to improve their capacities in four areas: Context-setting, Creativity, Stakeholder, and Self-leadership. Leadership Agility, and the organizations they create for the future, is especially important to organizations which need to innovate.
How our Agile Leadership Program Works
3sixtyglobal works with leaders within the context of a coaching engagement to facilitate development from Expert to Achiever to Catalyst. Together, we determine the current level of agility by analyzing the Changewise Leadership Agility 360 degree feedback assessment. A unique, self-assessment is also possible with the Accelerator, also developed by Changewise.
This is only the start as we roll-out a coaching plan over the space of several months. It is possible to incorporate competency based, 360 degree assessments into the program.
What is important to remember is that we always begin where the client is in that moment in time and guided by the outcome they wish to achieve. This will determine the direction the coaching engagement will take.
The Impact of Cultivating and Growing Agile Leaders
Progressive levels of mental and emotional growth
As leaders evolve through these stages of growth, they cannot but help grow their organizations. There are many benefits to being an organization which is organic and dynamic.
The ability to successfully operate in a wider, global economic system
Being agile enough to respond to the ground shifting beneath our feet increases our chances of achieving successful outcomes.
Increased desire to develop people
As the role of the leader to grow and develop people becomes more important, the desired outcome of producing enduring results for the organization increases. Working from the inside-out makes it possible to create a culture of collaborators and innovators.

“The coaching sessions with 3sixtyglobal have been rewarding. We began by exploring my development as a leader, when I accepted the presidency of a not for profit. She helped me define my objectives and set a path to get there. I always knew where we were in the process. Marion is a great listener. She understands who I am and has proven quite capable in coaching me to implement positive change. She is clearly passionate about coaching, leadership, cross-cultural differences and goal setting. Her enthusiasm is palpable and a vector for my personal growth. She is also quite tactful, which is appreciated when dealing with personal matters. Based on our successful coaching engagement, I hired her again to coach me in another matter.”
