The concept of ‘leadership’ has changed drastically in the last 3 months. Many are failing to meet the new standard of empathy, speed, imaginative thinking and more. Back in January – it seems like eons ago – I launched a video series, Insight 2020: Leadership Strategies for the Era of Acceleration. It put forth 20 key concepts, based on my observations by providing advice and guidance to organizations like Disney, NASA, the World Bank. And then, the world changed. So I’ve decided to go to my home broadcast studio, and from “Studio 2”, re-examine these issues in light of our eventual return to a post-pandemic world – knowing that the timing for this is quite yet unknown. Here’s #3 – Commit to It! This is a time to accelerate your plans from the past in order to commit to this new future - instead of continuing to defer those plans!
