The Leadership Edge for Mid-Level Managers
Our Team at SPAN Technology Services recently had the privilege of attending a NASSCOM session “ The Leadership Edge for Mid Managers “ focused on “The A-Game of Leadership,” the core theme resonating deeply was Agility. This session highlighted how agility isn’t just a buzzword; it’s the bedrock of effective leadership in the digital age.
The session kicked off with a compelling speaker named Priya, who painted a vivid picture of how a Leader should PIVOT – EVOLVE – LEARN – LEAD . This wasn’t just a catchy acronym; it was a roadmap for cultivating the essential agility needed to thrive. The session emphasized how we can navigate the chaos, adapt quickly, and empower our teams to do the same.
PIVOT: The Art of Strategic Adjustment
The session emphasized that “pivoting” isn’t about haphazardly changing direction. It’s about strategically adjusting based on real-time data, market shifts, and evolving customer needs. It’s about:
- Staying Observant: Leaders must be acutely aware of their surroundings, monitoring industry trends, competitor activities, and internal performance metrics.
- Being Decisive: Once a need for change is identified, leaders must act swiftly and decisively, even in the face of uncertainty.
- Communicating Clearly: The “why” behind the pivot is crucial. Leaders must articulate the rationale to their teams, ensuring buy-in and minimizing resistance.
EVOLVE: Continuous Personal and Organizational Growth
Agility isn’t just about reacting to external forces; it’s also about proactively evolving. The session underscored the importance of:
- Embracing Change: Leaders must be champions of change, fostering a growth mindset within their teams.
- Upskilling and Reskilling: Investing in continuous learning and development is essential for staying ahead of the curve.
- Building a Flexible Structure: Organizations need to move away from rigid hierarchies and embrace more fluid and adaptable structures.
LEARN: The Power of Continuous Knowledge Acquisition
In a world of information overload, leaders must be discerning learners. Focusing on the below,
- Seeking Diverse Perspectives: Leaders should actively seek out feedback from various stakeholders, including employees, customers, and industry experts.
- Staying Informed: Staying up-to-date with industry trends, technological advancements, and best practices is crucial.
- Reflecting and Applying: Learning is only valuable when it’s applied. Leaders should encourage reflection and experimentation to translate knowledge into action.
LEAD: Inspiring and Empowering Others
Ultimately, agile leadership is about inspiring and empowering others to embrace change and drive innovation.
So, how do we do it?
- Building Trust: Leaders must create a safe and supportive environment where employees feel empowered to take risks and experiment.
- Delegating Effectively: Empowering employees to take ownership and make decisions is crucial for fostering agility.
- Leading with Empathy: Understanding and addressing employees’ needs and concerns is essential for building a cohesive and motivated team.
The speaker stressed that agile leaders are not just managers; they are coaches, mentors, and facilitators. They empower their teams to navigate uncertainty and achieve shared goals.

Our Team left the session feeling inspired and energized, ready to apply the principle of A Game of Leadership to their leadership journey.
