Antifragile
leaders are improved on and are at their best facing challenges, trials, and
tribulations. Synchronic Leadership, according to Nir Golan, educational and
leadership expert, can only take place by coincidence in time. It is the only
approach that can create Antifragile Leaders. Antifragile Leader: Leader who
grows stronger under stress. He behaves like muscles that are strengthened when
exposed to stress and resistance and, conversely, atrophy under low-stress
conditions. He can be thrown into any situation and will not only survive
but thrive. Antifragile Leader will grow in his capacity and abilities over
time, in an ongoing cycle of stressors and strengtheners.
In
order to become an Antifragile Leader he must have the abilities of a Synchronous
Leader:
Technological
proficiency: expert in all the digital nets and
tools
Collaboration: the ability to work as a part of a team, required to have
a broad view of the project, have holistic consideration and collaborate more
with each other in order to achieve this goal. The Synchronous Leader isn't
only a leader of a country, he is a global leader: he leads a global process
from end to end (E2E), regardless of a specific location.
He
leads a global team: a global professional team built up from experts all
around who work as a global team.
Communication: message transfer and transformation
Global
awareness: a whole world vision
Problem
solving: analyzing and perfectionism
Creativity: thinking out of the box
Transitory
failure is a chance the antifragile leader takes. He or she understands that
transitory failure is not a final failure. In other words, antifragile is
something that is at its best when being challenged, tossed around, pushed and
pressed down on, are goes through trials.
Critical
thinking: evaluation skills. Strong critical
thinkers ask themselves, “Why am I wrong?” They plot out at least three at all
times (What is my opinion? What are the best counter-arguments? What is my
rebuttal- if there is one?). Critical thinkers are willing to live in the
dissonance of not having the perfect solution to a problem because finding the
truth is more important than winning the argument.
Synchronous
Leaders professionalism is taking a broader aspect. They move from being a
diplomatic expert to becoming a professional world developer, familiar with the
best practices, digital tools and methodologies. They lead from this aspect,
inspiring their people to become professional, equipping them with the
knowledge and tools they require. Antifragile leaders are improved on and are
at their best facing challenges, trials, and tribulations. Leaders who are
“fragile” avoid and resist challenges and falter during times of testing or
tribulation.
