This document discusses uplifting leadership and outlines six forces that enable organizations to perform beyond expectations. The forces are: 1) Dreaming with determination by pursuing an inspiring vision connected to an organization's history. 2) Creativity and counterflow by forging your own path instead of copying others. 3) Collaborating and competing by collaborating with competitors for mutual advantage and higher purpose. 4) Pushing and pulling by establishing shared goals and using data in real time. 5) Measuring with meaning by measuring what you value using a balanced scorecard. 6) Sustainable growth by undertaking all work with excellence. The document provides examples and recommendations for how the Inter-American Development Bank can apply these uplifting forces.
