The time has come for a new approach to leadership and organizational performance, and the need is urgent. Insanity, according to Albert Einstein, is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Nonetheless, most organizations continue to use outdated practices that are inefficient, time-consuming and frustrate both employees and clients. These organizations have an excess of managers and a scarcity of leaders.
Unless you work in a start-up, your company is governed by a culture that is rooted in the past. But the future is where you'll spend the majority of your time. As a result, developing a new culture that embraces challenges and change is critical. It is a leadership task.
