The art of the pivot is becoming the standard of leadership today. Agile; nimble; lean – call it what you will – but companies will rise and fall, Presidents too, on how agile and courageous their leaders are in the face of changing winds.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announces formal impeachment inquiry into President Trump, on Capitol Hill Tuesday, Sept. 24, 2019. Conventional wisdom used to say that in a jam, a leader had to make a decision, any decision, and then stick to it. Waffling, indecisiveness, or changing one’s mind was considered to be weakness. True strength came in just deciding something, anything, and standing by it right or wrong.
God and the devil are in the details. And when a preponderance of new evidence calls for a change in course, it is the wisest of leaders who have the courage to follow that evidence. That, apparently, is what Speaker Pelosi decided to do today. Pressure on her must have been extraordinary, from her own party as well as outside of it. But as a product of an earlier leadership model, until today Speaker Pelosi showed every indication of sticking to her guns, not giving in to pressure, and following her own strategic instincts.And this ability to pivot is becoming the new leadership standard.
The art of the pivot is becoming the determinant of success. Agile; nimble; lean – call it what you will – but companies will rise and fall, presidents too, on how agile and courageous their leaders are in the face of changing winds.Ironically, the art of changing his mind is also one that has been perfected by President Trump.
But who will win – possibly he or she who can pivot faster, dance more nimbly, and redefine decision theory time and time again. Buckle your seat belts.
