Leaders Make the Future: Ten New Leadership Skills for an Uncertain World
Presented by Bob Johansen, Distinguished Fellow, Institute for the Future (IFTF).
We are in a time of accelerating disruptive change. External forces will reshape the attributes and actions of leaders around the globe. Leaders face the challenge of responding to these forces while making the future. Bob Johansen, a social scientist and ten-year forecaster who has outlived his forecasts more than three times over, with remarkable accuracy, will offer FORESIGHT:
- Summarize the external future forces that will be most important for leaders to consider-thinking ten years ahead
- Define the skills that leaders will need to thrive in the next decade such as dilemma flipping, smart mob organizing, commons creating, and reciprocity-based innovation
- Examine the critical connection between the future world and the leadership skills to meet future needs.
