The need for speed

“The corporate model of centralized, hierarchical decision-making is increasingly looking archaic in a world moving at blistering speed.”
– Chief Learning Officer
(Leadership in the Great Acceleration)

The world is evolving, and we are witnessing it as a time lapse. It’s as if the universe is finally pushing us on fast forward toward some improvements we’ve needed all along.

Who knew that shutdowns and one of the biggest disruptions in “business as usual” the world has ever seen would bring along such major shifts in both our corporate and social cultures?

We’ve learned some important lessons from organizations that have been able to pivot best. Here are a few that resonate most with us:

• Innovation is key, along with what supports it best: Creating an inclusive culture of psychological safety, agility, and distributed, diverse decision-making.
• Professional development: Helping your people do the best work of their lives by investing in active and ongoing training opportunities
• Leadership that empowers: Being a catalyst for growth by encouraging your people to stretch, find their genius, and deliver results.
• A purpose that matters: Fueling the fire with a higher calling
