Amid the various complexities of today’s business scene, renowned leadership authority and global leadership assessment and development company The Leadership Circle™ founder Bob Anderson is set to discuss with Filipino leaders crucial aspects of effective leadership: what constitutes effective leadership; what hinders its practice, and how best to develop leaders in today’s organizations.

Hosted by the Management Association of the Philippines (MAP), Anderson’s talk entitled “The Leadership Imperative in Complex Times” will be held on January 18, Wednesday, at The Peninsula Manila, Makati City following an invitational breakfast with The Leadership Circle™-certified consultants at The Ascott.

“There is no substitute for effective leadership. If we want to develop more effective leaders, and do that more rapidly and sustainably, we need a more comprehensive approach. Leadership is a process of transformation where a leader makes a profound shift—to gain a deeper understanding of themselves, the world, and their relationship to others,” Anderson, The Leadership Circle™ Director, Chairman, and Chief Development Officer, shares.

Anderson will also be discussing the Leadership Circle™ Profile, a competency-based, 360° leadership profile that claims to be the sole profile that measures two primary leadership domains—creative leadership competencies and reactive tendencies—which it then integrates so key development opportunities are identified.

Aboitiz Annual Leaders Conference

One of the few Philippine companies that has benefited from The Leadership Circle™ assessments is the Aboitiz Group. With Anderson’s help, the Aboitiz Leader was further redefined through six leadership dimensions: mentoring and developing, fostering teamwork, courageous authenticity, achieving results, sustainable growth, and integrity. In 2015, these leadership dimensions were rolled out through various programs and interventions to help leaders embrace these key elements to be an integral part of the Aboitiz leader DNA.

On January 19, Anderson will be addressing the Aboitiz Group’s leaders for the first time at the company’s Aboitiz Annual Leaders Conference in Bonifacio Global City.

“At the heart of every Aboitiz leader is the commitment to live out the organization’s core values of integrity, teamwork, innovation and responsibility. The Aboitiz leader is also equipped
with the right competencies to adapt to challenges using innovative responses,” shares Txabi Aboitiz, Aboitiz Equity Ventures, Inc. Chief Human Resource (HR) Officer.

The Aboitiz Group recognizes the pivotal role of the leadership team in growing the business and becoming a formidable partner in creating shared value. This highlights the importance of placing succession management and leadership development as the topmost priorities in the HR agenda for the Group.
