  1. Shaping the Future Leading in the 21st Century

  2. WHY? Why do you lead? Why does anyone follow you? Why is it different now?

  3. VUCA Volatile: the pace of change is increasing Uncertain: the sources of change and the consequences are less predictable Complex: cause-and-effect relationships are more difficult to discern Ambiguous: the present and future look a bit hazy

  4. VUCAST • System-scale disruptions and challenges: • Climate change • Urbanization • Aging of the developed world • Continued exponential growth of computing power and, with it, knowledge and interconnectedness

  5. VUCAST • New answers for new challenges: • Adaptive capacity • Resilience • Trust • System-scale thinking and action

  6. OPTIMIZE • A leadership platform for agility and responsiveness: • From control to flow • Anticipation beats reaction • Questions more important than answers

  7. IGNITE • From leader as commander to leader as catalyst: • Sense-maker and meaning-finder • EI beyond IQ: Be and See • Cultivator, not extractor

  8. INVEST • From subordinates to supporters: • Assets, not resources • Participants, not recipients • From order takers to problem solvers

  9. CLARIFY • Clarity: Focus as a verb, not a noun: • Purpose: What job is your customer hiring you to help them do? • Values: What enduring principles guide you? • Performance: How are you measuring success?

  10. DESIGN • Be intentional and attentive to relationship design: • Your team • Your boss • Your peers • Your external stakeholders

  11. THRIVE • Be intentional and attentive to relationship design: • Embrace complexity • Principles over protocols • Work for relevance
