Perspectives
A vantage is a position, not a height. It is where a situation can be seen whole, including the part of it you are standing in.
Little changes while a leader is still reading the situation from the position that produced it. What is visible from there has been acted on already.
Each article on this page takes one situation of that kind and looks at it from another vantage.
Leadership is expressed in action, so it is judged by what the action produces. What is here comes from leading at that level, from the advisory work since, and from what came of both. Not formulas, but ways of looking at a situation you may already recognise.
When a crisis demands leadership beyond your role
"This is your moment to shine," my boss told me, just as a regulatory shutdown put around two thirds of the portfolio's global sales at risk. I was furious.
It took me time to see that some of the boundaries I was working inside had not been set by the organisation. I had set them myself.
I wrote about what changed, and the pattern I still see in senior leaders today.
