Abstract
Evolving leadership requires a shift in mindset! Specifically, a shift from an external individual perspective to an internal integrated view. This transition parallels conceptual shifts in our understanding of leadership, moving from the internal traits of a ‘Big Man’ to our modern, multifaceted understanding that addresses authenticity, charismatic/transformational, shared and relational definitions of leadership. As a researcher and executive coach, I am seeing this shift emerging from a cognitive redefinition of leadership and leader identity. Working with a model of Strategic Interdependence, we will explore how it empowers individuals to identify and select a mindset that supports adaptive and positive responses to emerging situations. As individuals evolve their mindset, possibilities open up to build trust, connection, authenticity and to increase work joy
