Let's do a quick thought experiment. Call three of your colleagues and ask them for a definition of leadership. Here's my guess: you'll get more than three different answers back! This points to an interesting paradox. So many of us may have different ways of describing leadership, and yet, very few organizations have done the hard work of defining, identifying, and training the ranks of their employees to understand that 'leadership' is more than a title; it is something you do, and it requires practice to get really good at it.
In this episode, we meet Jacob Morgan, 4x best-selling author, TED and keynote speaker, professionally trained futurist, and the founder of The Future of Work University. Jacob is on a mission to help organizations grow and nurture "Future-Ready Leaders."
My Favorite Quotes from Jacob Morgan in this episode, (paraphrased):
“The first thing we must accept is that Leadership is changing, and so must we!”
“Leadership is about the people you serve — not you!”
“Invest in your people and you'll unlock their discretionary effort!”
"You need people to get to profits!"
