We are living during a special moment in time. There are accelerators (COVID-19, the gig economy, a search for principles and values) requiring us to think faster, formulate plans faster, make decisions faster, protect others who are dependent upon us. Therefore, we are required to respond to the needs of the people faster. The future will not replicate the past. Prudent leaders will realize what they do not know, have not studied, and bring teams together who bring forth the best of innovation, vision, ideas, research, facts, and new or old principles and values. Authentic leaders will invent the future…. Authentically.
