The New Leadership Literacies
The New Leadership Literacies: Thriving in a Future of Extreme Disruption and Distributed Everything | Bob Johansen
2 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
Over the next decade, today'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 leadersand most organizationsaren't ready for this future. Are you? It's too late to catch up, but it's a great time to leapfrog. Noted futurist Bob Johansen goes beyond skills and competencies to propose five new leadership literaciescombinations of disciplines, practices, and worldviewsthat 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 look back and make sure you'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 can't just tell people what to do, (4) be a dynamic presence even when you'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.

Very interesting take from the future. Aside from fiction, I think this is the first book I‘ve read from a futurist. Parts were convincing me to let my kids play video games a bit more, since this is how we‘ll interact more so in the future, and my boys loved that. He says it will prepare them for the future. Good tips for future perspectives of leadership. I heard the author on a webinar series I follow. Good little book.
