Why the Future of Leadership Demands Presence Over Speed
In the dynamic world of leadership, especially across cultures, true leadership is not merely about speed or data, but about intentional presence. This is the insight shared by Marina Cvetkovic, a member of the Forbes Coaches Council.
Cvetkovic advises leaders to pause and see clearly to build trust, influence, and resilience. This approach, rather than rushing, is what markets reward. To build presence as a competitive advantage, leaders should read the room, anchor themselves before taking action, and prioritise purpose over pace.
Looking ahead to 2025 and beyond, executive success will belong to those who can lead from awareness, not anxiety. Present leaders create 'psychological bridges' across cultural differences, preventing misunderstandings and reducing turnover costs. Leaders who practice mindful awareness and intentional pausing before critical decisions show improved decision-making quality and reduced impulsive, costly choices.
As work becomes more boundaryless, uniquely human capabilities like empathy and curiosity become increasingly vital for leadership effectiveness and organisational change. Leaders who notice more scale their influence more effectively than those who move fastest. Engaging leadership behaviours generate higher team engagement and improved team effectiveness over time.
In essence, Cvetkovic's advice underscores the importance of intentionality, awareness, and presence in leadership. As the business landscape evolves, leaders who embrace these qualities will not only navigate cultural differences effectively but also drive organisational change and success.
