COVID-19 was our first experience of disruption that affected the entire world. You couldn’t switch to a new market, you couldn’t transfer your operations elsewhere, and you couldn’t escape to a safe haven. It affected everybody and everywhere. This book is for leaders on the other side of disruption, who must lead with both their heart and their head, as they navigate through this time of uncertainty and rapid change.
Disruption is when change happens to you, innovation is when you create change yourself. It’s the difference between being reactive rather than being proactive, being at the mercy of others instead of being in control, and being a victim instead of being a leader. Innovation is disruption, but with you in control. In other words, it’s disruption by design.
We used to say “There’s no ‘I’ in Team”. But that’s changed now. Our fast-moving, dynamic, customer-centric world needs a new kind of leadership. The best leaders now are authorities in their own right, leverage the power of their team members, and engage their wider community
COVID-19 has accelerated the push to online presentations, and there’s never been a better time to become a better presenter. Online presentations can be one of your most powerful communication tools – if you know how to plan, prepare, and present them well. Presenting online is a skill you can learn easily – if you just have the right guidance.
