Imagine being able to sit down and talk with the world’s top business leaders. What questions would you ask? What would you want to know about their path to success?
You might not physically be able to sit down with each of these leaders, but you can enjoy the next best thing. I spent over a year interviewing more than 140 of the world’s top CEOs from companies like Oracle, Best Buy, Mastercard, Audi, and Unilever and put their best advice, stories, and leadership tips in my book, The Future Leader.
The world of work and leadership is changing rapidly. It will take a new type of leader with new skills and mindsets to succeed in the next decade and beyond.
That’s why my book is different–there are countless leadership books on the shelves, but almost every single one looks backward and what it has taken to be a great leader in the past. Mine looks at what leaders will need to succeed in the future.
From my interviews with these leaders and my research, including a survey of more than 14,000 global employees, I created the Notable Nine: the skills and mindsets required to survive and thrive as a future leader. Leaders will need the skills of the futurist, Yoda, the translator, the coach, and the technology teen, and the mindsets of the explorer, the chef, the servant, and the global citizen.
In this book, you’ll get practical tips and takeaways that guide you to becoming a future-ready leader. You’ll read best practices and case studies from top leaders and know exactly how you can start preparing today to be a better leader tomorrow.
The old way of leadership won’t cut in in the new world of work. The changing landscape demands a new type of leader. And this book is the way to help you get there.
You may not be able to sit down with these great leaders, but by following their advice and adopting the skills and mindsets of future leaders, you could join their ranks soon.
Prepare now to become a future-ready leader. The Future Leader is the best resource to make that happen.
Here’s what some people have said about it:
