The New Leadership Literacies
Thriving in a Future of Extreme Disruption and Distributed Everything
Over the next decade, today's connected world will be explosively more connected. Anything that can be distributed will be distributed: workforces, organizations, supply webs, and more. Most leaders—and most organizations—aren't ready for this future. Are you?
The tired practices of centralized organizations will become brittle in a future where authority is not just decentralized but distributed. Rigid hierarchies will give way to liquid shape-shifting forms that will require new leadership literacies. It's too late to catch up, but it's a great time to leapfrog.
Noted futurist Bob Johansen goes beyond skills and competencies to propose five new leadership literacies—combinations of disciplines, practices, and worldviews—that will be needed to thrive in a VUCA world of increasing volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity. This book shows how to (1) look back from the future but act in the present, (2) use low-risk gaming spaces to work through your fears about the future and hone your leadership skills, (3) lead shape-shifting organizations where you can't just tell people what to do, (4) be a dynamic presence even when you're not there in person, and (5) keep your personal energy high and transmit that energy throughout your organization.
This visionary book provides a vivid description of the ideal talent profile for future leaders. It is written for current, rising star, and aspiring leaders; talent scouts searching for leaders; and executive coaches seeking a fresh view of how leaders will need to prepare. To get ready for this future, we will all need new leadership literacies.
