Author: Bob Johansen

We are in a time of accelerating disruptive change. In a VUCA world—one characterized by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity—traditional leadership skills won’t be enough, noted futurist Bob Johansen argues. Drawing on the latest forecasts from the Institute for the Future—the first futures think tank ever to outlive its forecasts—this powerful book explores the external forces that are shaking the foundations of leadership and unveils ten critical new leadership skills.

How adroit are you at dilemma flipping—turning problems that can’t be solved into opportunities? Can you develop bio-empathy—the ability to learn from and apply the principles of nature in your leadership? Are you able to practice immersive learning—dive into very different-from-you physical and online worlds and learn from them? Johansen provides role models, tools, and advice to help you develop these and seven other future leadership skills.

In addition, Johansen deals with two new forces that are shaping the future. The first is the “digital natives”—people fifteen years and younger who have grown up in a digital world. The second is cloud-based supercomputing, which will enable extraordinarily rich new forms of connection, collaboration, and commerce.

In this thoroughly updated and expanded second edition, Johansen is joined by the prestigious Center for Creative Leadership. CCL’s contributions help readers understand the new leadership skills by linking them to existing skills, and they provide analytics and exercises so readers can more fully develop these new skills.

Table of contents: 

INTRODUCTION: LISTENING FOR THE FUTURE

A futures context for the rest of the book and a taste of the external future forces that will shape leaders-thinking ten years ahead. Each core chapter will explore a leadership skill that will be important in the future.

1 MAKER INSTINCT

Ability to exploit your inner drive to build and grow things, as well as connect with others in the making. Leaders need this basic skill to make and remake organizations.

2 CLARITY

Ability to see through messes and contradictions to a future that others cannot yet see. Leaders must be clear about what they are making but flexible about how it gets made.

3 DILEMMA FLIPPING

Ability to turn dilemmas which, unlike problems, cannot be solved into advantages and opportunities.

4 IMMERSIVE LEARNING ABILITY

Ability to immerse yourself in unfamiliar environments, to learn from them in a first-person way.

5 BIO-EMPATHY

Ability to see things from nature’s point of view; to understand, respect, and learn from its patterns. Nature has its own clarity, if only we humans can understand and engage with it.

6 CONSTRUCTIVE DEPOLARIZING

Ability to calm tense situations where differences dominate and communication has broken down and bring people from divergent cultures toward positive engagement.

7 QUIET TRANSPARENCY

Ability to be open and authentic about what matters without being overly self-promoting. If you advertise yourself, you will become a big target.

8 RAPID PROTOTYPING

Ability to create quick early versions of innovations with the expectation that later success will require early failures. Leaders will need to learn from early setbacks and learn to fail in interesting ways.

9 SMART-MOB ORGANIZING

Ability to create, engage with, and nurture purposeful business or social change networks through intelligent use of electronic media and in-person communication.

10 COMMONS CREATING

Ability to seed, nurture, and grow shared assets that can benefit all players and allow competition at a higher level. This is the most important future leadership skill and it grows from all the others.

11 FUTURE IMMERSION FOR LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

This book provides a futures lens through which to reconsider competency models and programs for leadership development. Immersion in the future is the most powerful way to learn about leadership in the present.

12 LEARNING THE TEN FUTURE LEADERSHIP SKILLS YOURSELF

Where do you stack up in terms of your own leadership skills? This final chapter suggests ways to improve your ability to make the future. Includes Future Leadership Skills Indicator
