Leaders in today’s rapidly changing global landscape must elevate their leadership mindset to evolve and succeed. This requires flexibility, foresight, and dedication. Dr. Sam shares essential qualities for driving innovation, collaboration, and growth from his new book, “SHIFTS.”

SHIFTS is Dr. Sam’s acronym for See, Hear, Insight, Formulate, Transform, and Succeed. He explains these building blocks for becoming a transformative and successful leader.

Learn how to shift your behavior as a leader, help others defuse stress, mentor the behavior you want to see, and challenge your people to try new things outside their comfort zones.

Dr. Sam shares exercises leaders can do with their teams to overcome resistance, limiting beliefs, fear of failure, and impatience with the process.

Learning how to really see and listen to what is going on with your team can help you better care for them during times of stress and anxiety. Delving into mental health challenges facing children and young adults, Dr. Sam shares how leaders can tackle their effects in the workplace.

Focusing solely on specific skill sets during the hiring process can lead to overlooking candidates who have the potential to grow and excel in a dynamic environment. Dr. Sam explains why leaders should instead look for candidates who demonstrate adaptability, problem-solving skills, and a willingness to learn to build more resilient and versatile teams.

Insights are the foundation of innovation, allowing us to perceive patterns, connect the dots, and generate solutions that go beyond superficial understanding. Dr. Sam explains how to develop a “deeper inner vision that helps you make sense of complex situations and prepares you for strategic decision-making.”

Making decisions builds self-confidence, activates creativity, and helps us persevere in the face of challenges. Dr. Sam explains how leaders, teams, and individuals can overcome stumbling blocks and harness the power of action to build confidence, change habits, and maintain momentum.

When people learn how to apply tools and techniques to make SHIFTS, they can more easily align their behaviors with the organization’s values, desired outcomes, and ultimate goals. Dr. Sam shares 19 values for the most trusted and effective leaders with insights drawn from a worldwide survey his organization conducted.

As a leader, you are the architect of the culture you hope to build within your team or organization and the SHIFTS you wish to see happen, Dr. Sam says. He explains four strategies create a culture of excellence, including encouraging “situational heroes” who personify the culture, its values, and important principles. “Situational heroes are people who rise to the occasion and embrace change. They don’t hesitate to leap into uncharted territory. They help blaze new trails and remain enthusiastic for what lies ahead.”

Today, five generations are working side by side for the first time. Younger workers are less likely to measure performance by minutes on the clock and instead by results and creativity in service of the most efficient profitable outcomes. Dr. Sam shares how leaders can bridge generational divides and encourage learning and growth across generations.

Drawing from his experience leading a congregation from 6,000 miles away, Dr. Sam shares how leaders can “Set Sail for Distance Leadership.”

In an increasingly interconnected world, the ability to navigate cultural differences is a crucial skill for global leaders. Cultural intelligence, the ability to understand and adapt to different cultural contexts, is essential for forging strong international partnerships. Dr. Sam shares why it is invaluable in negotiations and to build deeper, more authentic relationships with partners and stakeholders across the globe.

At the heart of global leadership lies the principle that, despite our differences, we are united by shared human values. Embracing this unity while respecting cultural diversity is key to building a more cohesive and collaborative global community. “Leaders must lead with the understanding that every culture contributes to the rich tapestry of humanity,” Dr. Sam says.
