Will the leader of the next decade be that different than the leader of today? And if so, how? These were the two questions that Jacob sought out to explore in his ground breaking new book The Future Leader.
To answer these questions, Jacob personally interviewed over 140 CEOs globally from companies like Unilever, Audi, Mastercard, Best Buy, Oracle, Verizon, and many others. Jacob also teamed up with LinkedIn to survey almost 14,000 members around the world. This allowed for an accurate, global picture of leadership as well as a shocking comparison across seniority levels.
Unlike other leadership books which focus on current trends, this valuable resource is backed by extensive, never before seen research, direct quotes, and insights from the world's top business leaders.
The result? A range of insights and advice leaders can use now to prepare for the coming decade and beyond, including the fact that leaders around the world believe they are far better prepared for the future than they really are.
What are the top trends shaping the future of leadership? What are the greatest challenges that leaders must be prepared to overcome? What skills and mindsets must leaders of the future possess to be successful? What steps should one take to become a future ready leader? The Future Leader answers all of these questions and more.
Industries, markets, and businesses are changing more rapidly now than ever before. This means that over the next decade, our organizations will look fundamentally different than they do today. As a result, we need a new type of leader at the helm. Today's leaders must become tomorrow's leaders, and this book will show you how to do just that.
Success today doesn't guarantee success tomorrow. Only preparation can do that. Many leaders have already noticed the signs of the times. They understand the importance of preparing for disruption, but how do they do that? This book will ensure you're ready to guide your organization in an age of change. Are you ready to become The Future Leader?
