Description:
"A rapid and massively disruptive shift from centralized to distributed organizations has already begun. But current leadership practices were designed for large centralized organizations, making them increasingly obsolete. Bob Johansen, who has been projecting future trends from Silicon Valley since 1968, outlines five literacies leaders need to develop to cope with this brave new world. Johansen says leaders must project into the future themselves and look backwards to make sure they are preparing for potential new developments. They need to use gaming to voluntarily immerse themselves in the things they're fearful about and deal with them. They have to develop forms of distributed leadership for organizations that have no center, grow from the edges, and can't be controlled. In a globalized world they must master multimedia leadership -- have presence and influence even when they're not physically present. And to stay on top of all this they need to be extremely fit, physically and mentally, to keep their own positive energy and that of their organizations high. Johansen presents dramatic and mind-expanding examples of how forward-looking organizations are developing these literacies and offers readers sage advice on how to cultivate them"-- provided by publisher.
