At Hermes Consulting, we look at the company as a living organism and visualise it as a being moving steadily towards its envisioned future, led by the guiding light of its values and purpose. Similar to walking, the intricate and coordinated movements of the body go unnoticed, as it is the nervous system that enables the magic to happen by connecting all its parts seamlessly.

Within the company, the General Management and Managers play the role of the Nervous System by acting as the hub that sends and receives messages, making sure that the entire organisation keeps aligned and steadly focused on the path it wants to pave.

Nowadays, assuming the role of leader has become increasingly challenging, due to the complexity we face on a daily basis. It is crucial to have a clear understanding of the goals that need to be accomplished. Nevertheless, this is only a part of the puzzle. To be an effective leader, one must develop the ability to see the big picture and truly comprehend the individual pieces that make up the whole. A leader must possess an acute awareness of their surroundings, so as to understand the context in which they operate. Being an effective leader requires the ability to see with the mind’s eye before walking towards a goal.

To undertake a grand endeavor, one needs to extend personal and collective beliefs. It is necessary to activate a generative dialogue that could engage individuals to reciprocally transfer what they want to achieve, working together on a common objective.

Working in a systemic approach and adopting a future-oriented outlook is crucial while understanding the complexity and entirety of the project. At the same time, focusing on individuals and their uniqueness is equally important in order to effectively lead and guide them.

Picture a fine tapestry, woven with intricate and vibrant patterns. The leader is the weaver who carefully selects and directs each thread towards the canvas, having in mind a clear image of the final design. A leader, on the one hand, possesses a comprehensive understanding of complexity and is in control of the project’s overall direction, while on the other hand, they guide, navigate, and delve into the details to construct the bigger picture.
