To compete in the global economy, collaboration is more important than competition, says Mark Vernooij at the Learning Impact Initiative 2022

New Delhi [India], September 22 (ANI/SRV): Vision is created by leaders; it gives others’ work and lives purpose. The enormous issues that force businesses to deal with their leaders’ talent management were examined by Leaders in a Global Economy. The literature on leadership emphasizes the imperative need for cross-cultural and global leadership, particularly given the urgent need to create networks and connections.
Understanding the desires and requirements of our clients, or the internal and external stakeholders is crucial in today’s global market. In order to handle the shifting requirements of their stakeholders, executives must be able to shape the culture of their businesses. In the Learning impact initiative organized by Thought leaders of India, our Chief Guest Mr. Mark Vernooij, Partner at THNK School of Creative Leadership, led the discussion by outlining the reasons why the economy is becoming more complex today and what is required of us as leaders keeping ourselves in the perspective of what we need to be and what we need to do. The session had more than 50+ members on 9th September 2022, Friday.

According to Vernooij, “The work performed as businesspeople, is collaboration rather than competition”. The global economy is growing faster and more complex, it becomes one big storm which includes demanding users, demanding employees, demanding society, and demanding competitors. Employees are demanding more purpose, more flexibility, and more contribution. Society expects business owners and leaders to act more feasible and with greater social responsibility. Lastly, the needs of the Competitors are entirely from a different perspective.
Vernooij demonstrated what exactly is complicated by using a machine as an example. He claimed that although a machine is complex and made up of many distinct parts and pieces, a person with an understanding of the subject can still grasp it. Like this, an organization’s or firm’s inputs, outputs, and human resources are complex and challenging for the average person. However, intricacy can also be exceedingly challenging to comprehend. When discussing complexity, comprehension is more challenging since feedback loops are constantly present. Even when there are many specialists present, it is frequently quite challenging to comprehend a change in one area while the actual change is occurring in another area.
During his address, one of our Thought Leaders Aseem Kapoor, Chief Brand Marketing Officer- Jio-bp (Reliance BP Mobility Limited) was curious and asked “how the new century development will affect our research of youth and the expanding audience. Youth choose items based on our commitment to growth, thus ESG and zero carbon are two issues that are becoming more significant. How much of his KIP should go toward leadership or a CEO’s global viewpoint”. To this, Vernooij replied, “that one needs to understand why they are doing what they are doing and why they are in that particular industry. Once this is understood, the necessity to do well or to have adequate KPI decreases. Once the goal is understood, the KPI will immediately reflect it.”

When Thought leader Naresh Raisinghani, CEO and Executive Director- BMGI asked about what’s the difference between socialized, self- authorized and self-transforming, Vernooij said “All three terms–socialized, self-authorized, and self-transforming–are mindsets, and how you view the world and how you interpret it depends on your glasses. People approach the world differently in each perspective”. He elaborated, that in a socialised mindset, there are only two options: one is to pursue a course, and the other is not to, and that this is where the biggest shifts occur. Secondly in the self-authorized mentality, the majority of people recognise that there is a third element that will also be true between right and wrong. Self-authorized individuals start enacting change in a real way. People who fully realise that one perspective must also have an opposite perspective to go further in their self-transformation. These are the folks who start recognising how interwoven everything is on a much deeper level, which leads to changes happening in a much more definitive way.
Effective leadership is dependent on the approach or style adopted, according to Rishi Kapoor, partner and business Head at Sapphire Connect: He said, “Leadership styles are important in determining performance, competitive advantage, sustainability, innovative culture, and profitability of business organisations”. He also highlighted the Global Business Meeting scheduled for September 25th and 26th, 2022, in Vietnam, where our member delegation would be attending, which is being attended by thought leaders from India. The meeting’s agenda includes a discussion on how to expand India’s economy as well as the rise of Indian companies quickly and sustainably to global prominence. Governments, international organisations, and the corporate world will come together at the summit to present answers to the world’s problems.
