Rethink Your Mindset to Reshape the Future
Every company needs leaders who can spot and seize on opportunities at a moment’s notice. Every organization needs leaders who can rally teams together around new opportunities. Those who can see important, emerging trends foresee the coming disruption and harness those forces, translate them into actionable insights and motivation to fuel their company’s march into the future rather than ignoring or running or hiding from opportunities.
In Mindshift: Transform Leadership, Drive Innovation, and Reshape the Future, technologist, strategist, keynote speaker, and award-winning author Brian Solis, Head of Global Innovation at ServiceNow, draws on his experience of leading initiatives that drive innovation and business transformation to deliver the empowering message that this is the time to change the world for the better. And that change starts with you.
In this book, you’ll discover why legacy leadership continues to miss the mark and fail to adequately account for change and innovation, causing people to miss the winds of opportunity or threats of disruption until it’s too late. Let this inspire, not frustrate you.
Within these pages, you’ll gain access to the tools, insights, and lessons you need to become an unstoppable leader, regardless of your roles. You’ll learn how to:
- Adapt for a post-industrial, AI-first world
- Find direction in uncertainty
- Spot and prioritize emerging trends
- Develop, spark, and embrace innovative ideas that create new value
- Learn to thrive in this new and shifting future Mindshift explains how you can make the mental shift to see past industrial-era business-as-usual mindsets, to become the visionary and voice for a future that doesn’t yet exist. Embracing a mindshift opens your potential to new possibilities, breaking the shackles of the status quo, and unlocking alternative, more meaningful destinies.
