In the past leadership has looked quite authoritarian. There was a focus on directing and administrating. You worked out what needed to be done and told people how to do it. In the modern era, things have changed and leadership these days is leaning towards a holistic style which is more focused on guiding and inspiring.
Have you noticed this in your workplaces and in the community?
True leadership today and in the future looks more holistic in nature:
- Anticipating issues, obstacles, challenges and opportunities
- Keeping abreast of new innovations and changing societal trends
- Understanding the organisation, oneself and others on a deeper level
- Fostering a collaborative and supportive culture
- Encouraging learning and development
Personal qualities required of a holistic leader:
- Good communication skills
- Empathy and an ability to connect with others
- Emotional maturity and intelligence
- Awareness and ability to see the big picture
- Flexibility and adaptability
- An ability to inspire and motivate others
- Authentic, transparent and ethical

Working holistically, whether that is with Flower Essences or other therapies, increases awareness about your body and emotions, as well as fine tunes your intuition. Flower Essences assist with addressing emotions or disharmony you feel within your body to diffuse some of the negative feelings around difficult situations.

This type of leadership style encourages collaboration, inclusivity, and trust, which in turn can assist with employee satisfaction, productivity, and overall success.
