#leadership and #businesstransformation during #covid19
requires us to worry a bit less about today, and envision our Amazing Future.
Objective truth will tell us that when we say we are successful, that means we occupy a particularly desired position or state. When analyzed at the highest fidelity we observe that this "state or position" is an outcome based on cause and effect relationships of decisions we made.
Here's an awesome HBR IDEAS Cast episode discussing
the application of this thinking across multiple industries
Mark Johnson, cofounder of the consulting firm Innosight, says that too many managers develop strategy while focusing on problems in the present, and that’s especially true during a crisis. Instead, he argues, leaders should imagine the future and work backward, so they can build their organization for that new reality. He shares practical steps managers can take to look beyond the typical short-term planning horizon and help their teams grasp future opportunities. Johnson is the coauthor of the HBR article "Leaders, Do You Have a Clear Vision for the Post-Crisis Future?" and the book "Lead from the Future: How to Turn Visionary Thinking into Breakthrough Growth."
