In our new book: THE FLUENT LEADER, Jutta Kreyenberg and Titilayo Seriki Layo explain how leading in a functionally fluent way is more similar to developing a collective dance within a large, boundaried space, than to marching in a straight line towards a fixed point...
"You need to be in the driving seat, rather than being driven. If a situation is not ideal, you can complain and suffer, or you can do something about it!
As an inspirational leader, you breathe life into your organization, not only by what you do, but also by who you are and what you believe in."
"When we use Functional Fluency we have the ability to choose effective behaviours that inspire, connect and lead our teams to a positive and collaborative organisational culture."
Extract from: The Fluent Leader. Chapter 4 - The Inspirational Leader, sharing vision and purpose. Jutta Kreyenberg & Hannah Titilayo Seriki - Available to pre-order NOW!

neuroplasticity

As leaders we are compelled to 'lead by example', but sometimes when we are under pressure, we may adopt inappropriate or ineffective automatic behaviours. Ultimately, there is no positive outcome, we simply drain our energy and demotivate others in the process.

David Brown explains how we can use the power of FUNCTIONAL FLUENCY to help 'regulate' our behavioural patterns in stressful situations and use our energy more effectively.

"With Functional Fluency, you can learn to remain in control of your responses in spite of uncertainty, and to behave in ways which will elicit greater benefits for yourself and others. Within the drama of the work environment, when things go wrong and problems arise, you can learn to maintain a sense of proportion, and might even discover that you are able to thrive under pressure. You can create greater impact, not by controlling others, but by positively influencing them through managing yourself. In fact, by becoming aware of your own non-resilient behaviours, and by using resilient ones more often, you will be able to drop the struggle, and focus on developing your ability to use your energy more effectively. As a result, you will be effective in a wider range of situations, and when you are not, you will be able to diagnose the reasons for this and put things right.

True, there are times when the emotions you experience may be so powerful that there seems little you can do to control your reactions. And yet, recent advances in neuroscience have demonstrated that you do, in fact, have a choice about how to deal with the everyday issues you encounter. If, in such situations, you use ineffective behaviours, it’s no longer accurate, when excusing yourself for these behaviours, to argue, ‘that’s just the way I am.’ '

Based upon the Functional Fluency model, as designed by Dr. Susannah Temple, The Fluent Leader invites you to explore how you can use your power and choice of behavioural options more effectively to develop a positive and healthy working environment where people and the organisation can succeed and thrive.
If you have the desire to maximize your leadership effectiveness, then The Fluent Leader will illuminate the what, why and how in our increasingly complex and demanding world.
