Senior Leaders: Creating a New Definition of Leadership Tenacity

What does it mean to be “tenacious” and how can it help you as a leader? For many of us, tenacity has been defined as a state of persistence and survival and not much else. In reality, practicing tenacious leadership means so much more than a matter of enduring.

Leadership Institute, we define tenacity as:

“The ability to cultivate a high degree of presence, focus, determination and commitment partnered with a set of practices that continually renew and revitalize you and those around you to help prevent burnout."

Now more than ever, leaders need a more tenacious approach as they face new levels of disruption, change and complexity. When weathering various obstacles and changing expectations, leaders need to be able to:

-Bring precise focus to a situation or challenge

-Generate a level of determination for themselves and others

-Work in ways that are more sustainable for individuals and organizations

-Have a set of practices that actually renew leaders to support higher levels of performance

Leadership tenacity is far more than white-knuckling our way through tough situations.

Instead, it gives us the tools and practices to meet obstacles and changes as they arise with the confidence to overcome them.

Tenacity is not a quick solution, but rather a way of being that can benefit every aspect of our leadership and every level of the organizations we lead.
