Preface

HR leaders are undergoing a transformation. No longer are they simply managers; they are becoming inclusive and democratic champions of innovation. These leaders possess a remarkable ability to inspire and guide their teams, acting as true change agents within their organizations. Their passion for learning fuels their focus on people development, while their strong communication skills ensure a clear vision for the future.

Agile leadership represents a revolutionary shift in how we manage people. Effective Agile Leaders are not only re-energizing their teams, but also revitalizing entire businesses by redefining how work gets done.

Sapphire Connect is proud to present the 4th edition of India’s Most Agile HR Leaders 2024 Awards & Coffee Table Book Launch. This prestigious event celebrates HR Leaders who have successfully embraced Agile principles, prioritizing speed, responsiveness, flexibility, and collaboration.

The top 25 HR leaders, meticulously chosen by our esteemed jury, will be honored and featured in a truly aspirational book for HR heads – “India’s Most Agile HR Leader 2024.” This book will not only showcase their achievements and key learnings, but also celebrate the inspiring journeys they have undertaken. Copies of the Coffee Table Book will be circulated amongst CXOs across the business community, further amplifying the impact of these remarkable leaders.

What is Agile Leadership?

Agile leadership isn’t a destination... it’s a journey

Agile leadership versus good leadership

Several leaders can believe that adding "agile" to "excellent leadership" makes you an agile leader and vice versa. Yet, this is untrue because agile leadership has a completely different feel than traditional leadership. Different leadership philosophies and a willingness to increase capacity and extend capabilities to be more flexible are the main differences. While this feels quite distinct from leadership, where leaders only practise agile out of compliance with a larger directive. Agile leadership is "excellent leadership" that improves; it is more than just "good leadership".

Agile leadership as a continuum

A mindset that is agile does not view things from a binary standpoint, such as agile or not. Agility should be viewed as a spectrum rather than as an all or nothing trait. Although the agile leader is one who adjusts, there are many of competent HR leaders in firms who do so infrequently. Although some HR managers use a command-and-control style of management, this does not necessarily mean they are ineffective managers. Unfortunately, due to their mindsets, many of these HR leaders find it more difficult than others to adjust. Agile leadership is a dynamic trait that evolves and gets better with time.
