THE END OF LEADERSHIP
“As a result of
cultural evolution
and technological
revolution, the
balance of power
between leaders and
followers has
shifted—with leaders
becoming weaker
and followers
stronger.”
Barbara Kellerman
SHIFTING SANDS

Men-Women
Young-Mature
Bottom up
Technology/Info
Less hero and hierarchy, more
blended, down to earth and
shared.
Often times leader least/last
informed.
Social/
Global
Leader has less
control over action,
interconnected to
valued though less
tangible results.
Greater social awareness of the
implications of what we do and
why it matters; disillusioned with
leaders focused on short-term
gains without consideration of
long term consequences.
Leadership
Paradigm
Traditional powerauthority-control
giving way to more
collaborative
model.
Develop leaders who have a
deeper understanding of
themselves, their organizations
and their communities.
LEADERS MAKE THE FUTURE
“We are in a time of
accelerating, disruptive
change.
In the VUCA world—
one characterized by
volatility, uncertainty,
complexity, and
ambiguity—traditional
skills won’t be enough.

Bob Johansen

TRANSFORMING YOUR LEADERSHIP CULTURE
“The challenges . . .
Leaders face today barely
resemble those of just 30
years ago. We must either
face up to the serious shift
in our identities or continue
to perish professionally and
organizationally at alarming
rates.”
John McGuire
and Gary Rhodes
