Pioneers are those who are naturally at the forefront of innovation\u2014the first to do things. To use Peter Thiel\u2019s term in his book \u201cZero to One,\u201d they’re \u201cbuilding the future.\u201d My research, which was conducted in the UK, Uganda, and Dubai, \u00a0in the latter half of 2019 was a fascinating journey through the minds and experiences of 26 successful pioneers: a combination of entrepreneurs and authors. I wanted to understand what influenced their pioneering mindset, whether this led to a unique set of leadership challenges, and how they tackled those challenges. I wanted to learn something that could help other pioneers to be more effective leaders. Particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa, where I spend much of my time. And where effective entrepreneurship is a critical component to economic development.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This was a natural extension to the research I conducted with Hult Ashridge colleagues some years back on how leaders work with risk. I covered this in my book \u201cRisky Strategy,<\/a>\u201d\u00a0which was published by Bloomsbury in 2016 and included a chapter on Strategic Pioneering.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Part of the purpose of this research was to validate the Blonay Profiler.<\/a>\u00a0This is an online character profiling tool that I have used in my practice\u2014both leadership programs and consultancy\u2014for the last 15 years. It’s an effective way of highlighting character attributes that might be more conducive to effective innovation and pioneering. The tool rates character preference on three dimensions: 1.) Bold Creative, 2.) Empathic, and 3.) Self-Disciplined. My thesis was that effective pioneers would have a higher than average preference on the “Bold Creative” dimension.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Research findings<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

The single most dominant theme in my interviews was that pioneers have an insatiable desire to \u201cchallenge the status quo.\u201d As expected, it does appear to be part of their DNA and they do indeed register a higher than average Bold Creative dimension in their character profile, which is particularly significant in Uganda.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201c<\/strong>You like questioning everything, its built into you. I do that while I’m driving home.\u00a0 You can lose all your friends as you are constantly challenging them. I hate the idea that people say, this is the way it will work. This is how it\u2019s always been. They know I will change it.\u201d<\/p>\n

-Research respondent<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

But successful pioneers are also great at getting people on board\u2014in contrast to what I hypothesised. They are particularly good at getting a \u201cclose network of supporters, who believe in what you are doing\u201d to confide in, provide coaching, bounce ideas off and to hold them accountable. In terms of character, they also have a higher than average Empathic score on the Blonay Profiler. \u201cFind a right and left hand that can walk with you that can fill the gaps of decision making and thinking.\u00a0 And carry the weight.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The primary leadership challenge for pioneers is to be able to let go enough, to get others to step up to leadership roles. \u201cHow do you allow people to step up when you feel you are right most of the time? Look at Steve Jobs. I’ve not perfected it. I have learned to let other people speak first, as it could be scary to say something different. I let people go first, but you\u2019ll find me rocking in my chair, as I am desperate to say something.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Other themes included the need for a clear well communicated sense of purpose and values: \u201cWe have a vein of true authenticity which runs through the business.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Another was the need to work with tensions, including those of remaining tenacious and resilient, versus knowing when to adapt, echoing the \u201cPivot versus Persevere\u201d conundrum highlighted by Eric Ries in his book, \u201cThe Lean Startup\u201d.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What\u00a0influences the forming of these attributes?<\/h3>\n

I was interested in what helped form the pioneering character. The main themes that I picked up were early life influences, particularly the influence of parents, and aspects of faith, expressed sometimes in religious or spiritual terms.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I particularly wanted to look at cultural differences. I saw this most profoundly when observing the difference in character profile between pioneers and a general sample, when comparing interviewees in UK and Uganda.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cultural differences in pioneering character traits<\/h3>\n

We see from the Blonay Profiler diagrams that Ugandan pioneers have a very different profile from other Ugandans from the general sample\u2014a much higher \u201cBold Creative\u201d preference and a much lower \u201cSelf-Disciplined\u201d preference.\u00a0 This is important, because we know from our much larger base sample that Ugandans have a much higher \u201cSelf-Disciplined\u201d preference than what we see from UK respondents.\u00a0 This does not mean they are more self-disciplined, it just means they are more likely to operate in that mode.\u00a0 I think this is a strong cultural phenomenon, partly influenced by the highly didactic approach in general education\u2014highly knowledge-based, limited interaction, and limited opportunity to challenge what is being taught. This suggests the need for a significant shift in educational approach, to prepare more Ugandans to be effective pioneers.<\/p>\n
