“What does this moment ask of me as a leader?”

Every moment presents leaders with a different set of needs, and the most effective leaders find innovative ways to combine the right amount of empathy for others, the right extent of their own skills and competence, and the right degree of agility and willingness to embrace different approaches.

Effective leaders are those who can 1) accurately assess the needs of the current moment and 2) deploy the right combination of empathy, competence, and agility to meet those needs.
