THIS week we bring you a new column titled Legacy Issues by Zeluleko Zet Moyo a seasoned transformational speaker, leadership developer, civic leader, emotional logic coach, psychologist in training, electrical and electronics tech and today in the column I will be talking about : Finding Our Spaces in the 4.0 Industrial Generation.
As the 4.0 industrial generation we live in a turbulent and highly competitive environment, yet we are all aiming for prominence and a notable space in the market place and civic world.
Everyone’s golden question in this era is, how do I find my space in the market place, how do I make it to the headliners, how do I get my company or organisation to the top five in the city, how do I become a notable leader in the civic world and above all how do I live beyond my grave. There are a few concepts that have proven to be very key, if one is to be a top notch leader corporately and civically in our time. If one discovers these concepts and applies them, they will stand a chance of greatness in our time.
If one is to find their space of greatness and prominence in our 4.0 industrial generation they need to exhibit these 6 fundamental qualities that will enable them to create a lasting legacy:
Love
Emotional intelligence
Genuine
Agility
Creativity
Yearning
Within these I will briefly talk about two of them that include:
Emotional intelligence
It has always been said that those with high IQ are the ones that are set for greatness but in our 4.0 industrial generation it has been researched and proven that those with high EQ become more successful than those with IQ. Emotional intelligence talks about the ability to manage your emotions in response to different circumstances in life.
You will discover that a manager with higher IQ can be good with they work and skill but if they have low EQ they might fail to achieve much because they would fail to define, understand and respond to their emotions and those of their subordinates productively and constructively. High IQ managers or leaders have personal confidence, self-awareness, social competence and great self-management which then makes it easy for them to achieve and succeed easily on life.
Finding your space of greatness in this 4.0 industrial generation will come only if you have the ability to define, relate and respond to your emotions and those of others productively and constructively at a high level, that is having high EQ.
Agility
Many companies and leaders that once had great fame which quickly faded, most of them one way or the other they failed on mastering the science of agility. When a company fails to recognize and appreciate changing times they are most probably set to face a great fall.
It is in the ability to sense and see trends as they prepare to unfold and be ready to progressively and strategically counter that a leader and a multimillion dollar company secure its seat in the market place and civic world. Without this science a leader and a company can experience a great lose and setback why? because change is the new normal in our generation and it’s the only constant factor. Acquiring this science of emphasis of great speed and flexibility towards applying a solution that counters the projected trend.
Agility is the new solution for managing a dynamic and changing environment of continuous and unpredictably change and that is the answer that every leader and manager is looking for.
Applying these two and the rest of the above mentioned components one stands guaranteed that they have a notable space in the 4.0 industrial generation and help you create a lasting legacy.
