The New Leadership Literacies: Thriving in a Future of Extreme Disruption and Distributed Everything

Over the next decade, todayâ€™s connected world will be explosively more connected. Anything that can be distributed will be distributed: workforces, organizations, supply webs, and more. The tired practices of centralized organizations will become brittle in a future where authority is radically decentralized. Rigid hierarchies will give way to liquid structures. Most leadersâ€”and most organizationsâ€”arenâ€™t ready for this future. Are you?

Itâ€™s too late to catch up, but itâ€™s a great time to leapfrog. Noted futurist Bob Johansen goes beyond skills and competencies to propose five new leadership literaciesâ€”combinations of disciplines, practices, and worldviewsâ€”that will be needed to thrive in a VUCA world of increasing volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity. This book shows how to (1) forecast likely futures so you can â€œlook backâ€ and make sure youâ€™re prepared now for the changes to come, (2) use low-risk gaming spaces to work through your concerns about the future and hone your leadership skills, (3) lead shape-shifting organizations where you canâ€™t just tell people what to do, (4) be a dynamic presence even when youâ€™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.
