The Age of Leadership

The world is undergoing a complete, deep and pervasive change, full of disruptions and uncertainty. What are organizations turning to for change?   Surprisingly, most of them simply do not.

What are the actual results of this choice to stay safe? The numbers are clear. In the past 25 years, more than half of the global one thousand companies are gone. Although some of these organizations consolidated, many of them simply failed. It’s a familiar story; talented people with great expertise. With so much capital in their own people why did they fail to connect to their own best ideas?

Even as traditional management is failing it is hard to change.

What is needed is a radically new kind of leadership. This new leadership is about connecting, and sharing our knowledge is a completely new kind of culture of learning. The Age of Leadership reveals the new skills every leader must master in order to create anything new or to accelerate performance.
