In recognising that what got us here won’t get us to where we need to be, there is a pressing need to revisit what it means to be a leader. We explore that question in two parts.
The 20th century organisation will no longer get us to where we need to be. The organisation we need to create will be agile, built to change and directed towards stakeholder value. The resulting focused, flat, fast, flexible and fertile (to new ideas) organisation will be, of necessity, a team of teams. The time to change is while you are successful. Waiting until you have to change is much too late.

Part one presents a series of statements that challenge where you are today. Part two provides a simple assessment of: (i) the mindset that currently shapes your team’s behaviour; and (ii) the mindset you need moving forward. In turbulent times, it’s all about mindset!
