The Art of Leading in the Modern World
In a world of rapid change and artificial intelligence, what separates us from the robots are Deep Human abilities such as self-awareness, empathy, creativity and collaboration. We term these our Deep Human superskills. They are essential to help us focus amidst the noise, so that we can engage with others deeply and build a successful and resilient life no matter what lies ahead.
​
While formal education equips us with the skills needed for professional tasks, the transition into leadership demands a more nuanced set of capabilities.
What is the essence
of effective leadership?
Deep Human Overview
This programme delves into the intricacies of leading others with empathy and establishing effective boundaries, while emphasising the foundational aspect of leadership – that of leading oneself. Through the cultivation of self-awareness and self-mastery, our training aims to equip leaders with the skills necessary for navigating the complexities of contemporary leadership.
As machines and AI progressively assume a broader array of tasks, the demand on leaders intensifies. What is imperative are the Deep Human skills of strategic thinking, rapid adaptability, and a profound connection on a human level.
Leaders need a robust foundation grounded in healthy mindsets and social-emotional skills. These elements are pivotal not only for motivating teams but also for facilitating clear communication and consistently delivering high performance.
The genesis of the Deep Human Leadership Programme dates back to 2015, when the Government of Singapore commissioned Forest Wolf to craft a forward-looking leadership initiative.
Initially designated for 16 companies within the Biomedical Sciences and Healthcare sector under the code name "Zodiac Initiative," its success has propelled the extension of our leadership programmes. Today, we proudly offer leadership programmes worldwide, drawing from the core curriculum of the Deep Human Leadership approach.
What sets us apart is our profound and extensive expertise spanning psychology, with a focus on mindset change, neuroscience, and leadership. This is complemented by our cross-cultural experience, having trained individuals and advised institutions and governments across the Asia-Pacific, Europe, Middle East, Central Asia, Africa, and the United States.
