Discover how developing a flexible leadership mindset can transform your effectiveness as a woman executive. Our exclusive interview with Kevin Eikenberry, author of "Flexible Leadership," reveals powerful strategies for women leaders navigating today's complex business landscape. Why Women Executives Need a Flexible Leadership Mindset In today's rapidly evolving business environment, a flexible leadership mindset isn't just beneficial—it's essential for women executives who want to maximize their impact. According to McKinsey's 2024 Women in the Workplace report, women now hold 29% of C-suite positions, up from just 17% in 2015, yet the path to gender parity in senior leadership still extends decades into the future. For women executives facing unique challenges, developing flexibility in leadership approach provides a powerful advantage. A flexible leadership mindset allows women leaders to navigate complex situations while staying authentic to their core values. Defining the Flexible Leadership Mindset for Women Executives What exactly constitutes a flexible leadership mindset? According to Kevin Eikenberry, it means maintaining consistency in your core values while adapting your approach based on circumstances: "Flexible leadership means being consistent in our what and our why—our principles, values, and purpose—but flexible in our how," explains Eikenberry. "Like a mature tree that's firmly rooted yet bends with the wind, women executives with a flexible leadership mindset maintain their foundation while adapting their approach." The hallmark of this mindset is recognizing when "it depends" is the appropriate answer—and then thoughtfully considering what factors it depends on before determining how to proceed. About Kevin Eikenberry – Flexible Leadership Author Kevin Eikenberry is the author of over 20 books, including his latest, 'Flexible Leadership: Navigating Uncertainty and Leading with Confidence.' As the founder of the Kevin Eikenberry Group, he's advised leaders at organizations worldwide and created transformative leadership programs like the Remarkable Masterclass. The Business Cost of Inflexible Leadership for Women Executives Women executives who lack a flexible leadership mindset often find themselves locked into rigid approaches with statements like "that's just how I lead" or "they'll have to get used to it." This inflexibility creates significant limitations: Forces one approach onto diverse situations requiring different solutions Creates an identity barrier that's difficult to overcome Reduces opportunities for innovation and team development Dramatically lowers the odds of success in complex environments Reinforces potential gender stereotypes rather than transcending them Research indicates that companies with women in leadership positions are 30% more likely to outperform others—suggesting that when women executives leverage flexible approaches, organizations benefit. The Flexible Leadership Framework for Women Executives To help women executives develop a flexible leadership mindset, Eikenberry introduces the Cynefin Framework (pronounced kuh-NEV-in) as a tool for making sense of different leadership situations: 1. Clear Contexts for Women Executives Situations where cause and effect are obvious, best practices exist, and processes are established. Traditional leadership approaches often work well here. 2. Complicated Contexts for Women Executives Scenarios requiring expertise but where systems remain fairly ordered. Women executives benefit from gathering diverse perspectives before making decisions. 3. Complex Contexts for Women Executives The most common leadership environment today—where interconnected factors create unpredictability. Women executives thrive here by testing approaches, learning quickly, and adapting. 4. Chaotic Contexts for Women Executives Rare crisis situations requiring immediate action. Women executives need to act decisively to stabilize the situation before transit...

Send us a textWhat separates good leaders from exceptional ones?The answer might be simpler—and harder—than we think. In this illuminating conversation with leadership expert Kevin Eikenberry, Chief Potential Officer of the Kevin Eikenberry Group and host of the Remarkable Leadership Podcast, we dig into the critical skill of flexibility that so many leaders understand conceptually but struggle to practice.Kevin reveals why most new leaders get trapped in rigid thinking patterns from the start. Promoted for technical expertise rather than leadership ability, they feel compelled to have immediate answers—creating a pattern of quick decisions based on limited perspective. This pattern becomes particularly problematic in today's complex world where old solutions rarely fit new problems.Using the powerful metaphor of a mature tree, Kevin reframes the relationship between consistency and flexibility. Much like a tree with strong roots yet flexible branches, effective leaders remain consistent in their values and purpose while adapting their methods to changing circumstances. "We should be consistent in our what and why and flexible in our how," he explains, cutting through the false choice between being principled or adaptable. Kevin's Episode Links:1.

In Part 1, he shares how early lessons in discipline and systems thinking carried into his leadership work decades later.

Kevin Eikenberry challenges the traditional notion of patience as merely waiting. Instead, he introduces the concept of proactive patience — a dynamic and intentional approach that involves movement, reflection, and growth even during periods of waiting. Kevin highlights the balance between slowing down without becoming passive and maintaining forward momentum without forcing outcomes. He emphasizes the importance of having a clear vision, trusting the process, and maintaining a long-term orientation, especially in uncertain times. This mindset shift helps leaders continue progressing toward their goals even when immediate results aren't visible. Key Takeaways Patience isn't passive: True patience involves intentional action, not just idle waiting. Proactive patience: Strike a balance between pausing and continuing to work toward your vision. Keep your goals in sight: Maintain focus on your long-term objectives even during pauses. Reflect and act: Use moments of waiting for thoughtful reflection that leads to deliberate action. Trust the process: Growth often includes plateaus and setbacks — stay committed to the journey. Think long-term: See waiting as a temporary moment within a larger path of progress. Flexible Leadership: Kevin ties these ideas to his new book, encouraging a mindset of "both/and" rather than "either/or."

In times of uncertainty, many leaders freeze, worry, or retreat — but what if there was a better way? In this episode of Remarkable TV, Kevin Eikenberry explores the common reactions to uncertainty that hold us back, and he offers four proactive strategies to help you lead with confidence even when the path isn't clear. This episode draws directly from Kevin's latest book, Flexible Leadership: Navigate Uncertainty and Lead with Confidence, and offers immediately applicable tools to help you become a more adaptable and resilient leader.

In this episode of Remarkable TV, Kevin shares a personal example of breaking from routine and explores how “different” can lead to growth, innovation, and new perspective.

As a remote work pioneer, Wayne offers a refreshingly pragmatic perspective that cuts through the noise surrounding return-to-office debates.The conversation explores Wayne's 3-O Model of Leadership, which balances Outcomes, Others, and Ourselves. This framework helps leaders navigate the complexities of managing remote teams while avoiding burnout. For leaders navigating hybrid work arrangements, Wayne's advice is refreshingly straightforward: focus on the work that needs doing rather than where it happens. By approaching team design with intentionality and listening to employee needs, leaders can create more effective, engaged teams regardless of physical location. The key is pausing to think strategically rather than rushing back to familiar patterns.Wayne's Links:1. www.KevinEikenberry.com2. www.longdistanceteambook.com3. https://www.linkedin.com/in/wayneturmel/4. wayne@kevineikenberry.com5.

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with Kevin Eikenberry, Chief Potential Officer of the Kevin Eikenberry Group and author. Kevin shares his journey from growing up on a family farm to becoming a successful leader and business owner.   In today's episode, we discuss: Embrace the journey! Kevin Eikenberry shares how flexibility in leadership involves embracing the 'both/and' approach, allowing for flexible leadership. Let's navigate life's complexities with an open mind and a flexible heart. Context is everything! Consider the backstory; it could change your entire perspective. Kevin Eikenberry reminds us that understanding context makes us smarter and more effective leaders. Pause and reflect; you might discover a different truth. Life and leadership exist in the "gray area," not just in black and white. Kevin talks about the importance of embracing “both” rather than either/or, highlighting the complexity of life and leadership. This concept encourages flexibility and adaptability, which is crucial for effective decision-making and problem-solving. Focus on others can lead to greater success.. Kevin emphasizes the importance of shifting focus from oneself to others for personal and professional growth. This reinforces the value of empathy and collaboration in achieving success. Influences of the Past: Kevin shares a heartfelt reflection on how his father influenced his views on leadership and business. Growing up on a family farm, he gained firsthand experience in diverse leadership roles and decision-making from a young age.   RESOURCES: Complementary Resources:   http://KevinEikenberry.com/gift    Pre-order your copy of his newest book: Flexible Leadership: Navigating Uncertainty and Lead with Confidence by Kevin Eikenberry. https://amzn.to/4iMPS9S  Guest Bio Kevin is the Chief Potential Officer of The Kevin Eikenberry Group – a leadership and learning company based in Indianapolis, IN with a team across the United States.  He has spent over 30 years helping organizations and leaders from over 50 countries become more effective.

See the full agenda for L&D Next, which runs from March 3rd to 6th and register for free today at https://360learning.com/l-and-d-next/2025/ KEY TAKEAWAYS For many, leading long-distance is the new norm. Despite pushback, remote and hybrid working is here to stay. We need to move from monitoring activity to monitoring output. Get back to first principles. Some types of work are best done remotely, while other tasks are better done in the office. Build a strong culture – ensure remote workers work collaboratively and network internally. Have good one to one conversations with remote workers and don’t leave them out of group discussions.

Are screens taking over your life? In this episode of The Long-Distance Worklife, hosts Marisa Eikenberry and Wayne Turmel dive into the growing issue of screen fatigue and explore how remote workers can break free from digital overload. Learn about the physical and mental toll of excessive screen time, why our brains crave those dopamine hits, and how to set boundaries for healthier habits. From practical tips like setting screen-free zones to embracing old-school tools (hello, paper planners!), this conversation is packed with actionable strategies to help you reclaim balance in your remote work life. Key Takeaways 1. Define Screen Fatigue: Recognize that screen fatigue involves both physical strain (eye fatigue, disrupted sleep from blue light) and mental exhaustion from constant input and dopamine-driven habits. 2. Set Clear Screen Break Goals: Decide specific times or durations for breaks, such as “no screens for 15 minutes,” instead of vague promises like “less screen time.” 3. Create Screen-Free Zones: Establish boundaries like no screens at the dinner table, during family time, or in the bedroom to reinforce healthy habits. 4. Limit Notifications: Turn off unnecessary alerts to reduce distractions and the urge to check your devices. Fewer dings mean less stress and temptation. 5. Reduce Blue Light Exposure: Use tools like night mode on devices, dim lighting, or e-ink screens to minimize eye strain, especially in the evening. 6. Incorporate Offline Activities: Replace screen time with activities like reading paper books, going for walks, or engaging in chores to refresh your mind and body. 7. Practice Intentional Device Use: Avoid using screens as your default downtime activity. Try alternatives like music or silent walks to give your brain a genuine rest. 8. No Screens Before Bedtime: Commit to at least 30 minutes of screen-free time before sleeping to help your brain wind down and improve sleep quality. 9. Use Technology Wisely: If you rely on tech (like a Kindle), explore settings to reduce blue light and adjust brightness for less strain during necessary use. 10. Develop New Habits Gradually: Don't go “cold turkey.” Instead, build sustainable habits over time by integrating small changes consistently into your routine.

COVID changed how we live and work in many ways. One example is the increased need for remote communication and for managing and leading hybrid teams. Wayne Turmel is part of the Kevin Eikenberry Group, and he and Kevin co-wrote The Long-Distance Leader, originally published in 2018, with a revised edition out in 2024. Wayne's work focuses on remote and virtual communication in the evolving workplace.
