Alvin Toffler said, “The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn.” The concept of unlearning and relearning has never been more relevant. To put it simply, what got you here, won’t get you there. By continuously challenging your own best thinking and finding new ways of doing things, you can make smarter decisions and navigate uncharted territories. Most innovators use first principles thinking to break the situation down to the fundamentals. It helps in bypassing various obstacles and creating a more effective solution. Are your people equipped with the necessary skills to learn, unlearn and relearn? Do You have a culture that inspires your people to operate from the first principles?
John Smith highlights an emerging trend in today's workforce: the presence of at least three different generations within most companies. These generations have distinct views on management and leadership, posing a challenge for fostering high-speed innovation. To navigate this, teams need diverse perspectives and a strong bias for action. Decision-making bottlenecks can hinder agility, threatening business survival. Smith advocates for distributed leadership, which emphasizes collaboration and resource sharing over traditional hierarchical models. This approach, driven by purposeful and knowledgeable leaders, can enhance business agility and cultivate a culture of diversity. Attendees will learn how to implement this model effectively.
