New AGE leaders can empathize with their people. They are where their people are both in lifestyle, desires and generation. Knowing that the end and the means to the end are important to quality life and results, they will make every attempt to create true virtual offices and cultures, using them to their advantage, financially, intrinsically and from a productivity advantage…a win-win for everyone. The who, what, where, when and why of the past is about what you become along the way, today.
Leadership Law VII – Have a plan…but no expectations

New AGE leaders of dynamic, changing organizations operate in uncharted territory. The ability to live with the unknown is essential. Allowing employees to innovate and take charge requires a leap of faith. Diversity tests the new AGE leader’s ability further. Leading groups of people today, made up of individuals from different backgrounds, values, needs, and preferences, presents more questions than answers.
The new AGE leader is able to create new ways to respond to these exciting situations, because they have the inner strength to tolerate the anxiety of not having an immediate answer. They can live in the zone without pushing for premature solutions or answers.
