"Johnson and Suskewicz have raised a battle cry for the kind of
leadership we need in these uncertain times." -- Sandi Peterson, Member,
Board of Directors, Microsoft
We all know a visionary leader when we see one. They're bold and
prophetic and at the same time pragmatic. They don't just promote
change--they drive it, while inspiring and mobilizing others to do the
same. Visionaries like Steve Jobs and Jeff Bezos possess a host of
innate qualities that make them extraordinary, but what truly sets them
apart is their ability to turn vision into action.
In Lead from the Future, Innosight's Mark W. Johnson and Josh
Suskewicz introduce a new way of thinking and managing, called
"future-back," that enables any manager to become a practical visionary.
Addressing the many barriers to change that exist in established
organizations, they present a systematic approach to overcoming them
that includes:
- The principles and mind-set that allow leadership teams to look beyond
typical short-term planning horizons
- A method for turning emerging challenges into the growth opportunities
that can define an organization's future
- A step-by-step approach for translating a vision into a strategic plan
that teams can align around and commit to
- Ways to ensure that visionary thinking becomes a repeatable
organizational capability
As practical as it is inspiring, Lead from the Future is the guide you
and your team need to develop a vision and translate it into
transformative growth.
