Introduction

Today’s business world is constantly changing, calling for a special kind of leadership that’s as swift as a cheetah yet as reliable as a centuries-old oak tree. This is when leaders must be flexible yet firmly rooted in their fundamental beliefs. The CLEAR Model acts as a guide in these uncertain times. My upcoming book, “Clearly Agile — A Leadership Guide to Business Agility”, explores this model and explains how it helps leaders support their organisations through unpredictable and challenging times.

The CLEAR Model: Your Guide to Change

At its core, the CLEAR Model centres around infusing agility into leadership and strategy. Representing Culture, Leadership, Execution, Adaptability, and Responsiveness, each aspect is vital in supporting an agile business. Let’s explore how this model equips leaders to master change.

Culture: The Heart of Agile Leadership

Building an agile culture is more than adopting new practices. It’s about fostering a deeply ingrained mindset at every level of your organisation. Leaders who cultivate a space for creativity, teamwork, and ongoing progress are laying the groundwork for genuine agility. This environment is where agile ideas grow.
