Leadership Under The Microscope

Disruptions and distractions become the two-edged sword of change. Companies and institutions that have been the bastions of culture, society, and civilization are drowning in the flood of technology. Workers that have learned skills and built capacities to last a life find it perplexing, confusing, and frightening that job requirements have moved away from their strengths. Employers in every sector are grappling with new business models filled with technologies, strategies, and fallacies that challenge the comfort of traditions. The other edge of the sword, however, has opened a vista filled with opportunity. Change always comes with a bit of pain. Most resist it because it hurts too much to make the change. That reticence is maintained until it hurts less to change than it does to remain the same. It turns out that humans have not changed that much over their existence.

Building routine builds habits and tools that will manage energy and hence performance. Routine include breaks away from repetitive activities. Breaks can take various forms, both passive and active. Passive activities have a low energy payoff. Things like watching television, eating, or social media crawling can be energy vampires that add to the problem. Active activities like physical exercise, social interaction, going outside, or group activities like yoga or sports can be energy sources and perfect breaks from work.

The examination of how society responds to change is complex and confusing. Leaders become the essential component that drives the response. In its simplest form, the solution involves two basic strategies, an inside and an outside strategy. The internal strategy has to do with control of individual thought, passion, and behaviour. The first examination is internal introspection which helps leaders of all shapes and sizes to identify what is important, what is valued, and what priorities are. The external strategy stands on the shoulders of the first strategy. It allows leaders to exhibit the wisdom of ages of leaders that have called for a version of truth existent in previous cultures and civilizations. It allows people to be more grounded in themselves. It influences them to find meaning in activity, irrespective of the outcomes, that allows them to derive meaning from action and not possessions.

The availability of technology has enabled it to become disruptive and distracting through the speed at which it is developed. Availability and access far exceed human or cultural mechanisms to adapt, much less understand the transformation. The interactive nature of this fast-moving freight train has three basic elements. They are simply humans, technology, and culture.

What seems to be a new and revelatory statement that technology is the cause of the distractive, disruptive and excitingly evolving world, maybe somewhat myopic. The relationship between human beings, culture, and technology has been interwoven since the first caveman picked up a rock.

There is a subtle shift or delineation in universities across the world. The change is in their roles as centres of technology-based education or as centres of cultural conveyance.

The necessity for leaders, workers, organisations, and individuals to continually learn, un-learning, and relearn is essential for remaining relevant in constant change. The inference is that educational pedagogy falls under the same mandate.

The business environment across the globe is animated by technology that is evolving at a faster rate than ever. The projection is for it to continue to accelerate, break down global boundaries, change the ways people work, how supply chains work, and how customers are approached. Work no longer has the constraint of geography. Globalization has had its effect on workers anywhere connecting to jobs and projects regardless of location, time zone, language, or culture.

How can workers cope in a highly technological, rapidly changing, and potentially overwhelming environment? It appears that the future of work will be this dreamland where workers can work from anywhere, be part of globally distributed teams, be valued for contribution, and spend no time commuting. Learning can take place from anywhere and be continuous. Many of these utopian dreams have been delivered, and even more have been promised. However, inside every silver lining, there is a grey cloud.

Does a cognitive cortex and opposable thumbs create a valuable human or just a viable animal?

It is difficult to find a business or industry that is not impacted by the distractive and destructive nature of the world. The situation itself may present a breathtaking opportunity. Any artist will testify that the greatest disruption or distraction drives the most outstanding creativity. The demolition of one way of thinking presents the opportunity for a new way of thinking. This time is packed with new ideas, ingenuity, imagination, and openness to take the risk of change.

In a world full of distractions, what can we do to cope?

Question #1: Everyone seems to know a successful business must be relevant to customers and pay attention to changing customer needs. The theory is incredibly easy, but the execution is hard. What are some barriers, gravitational forces that keep thinking stuck in old ways of doing things?

#13 Proactive Toward Change Mahesh Joshi and JR Klein are Co-Authors of the Global Business Book Series including Global Business (2018), Global Business in the Age of Transportation (2021) and several more books in the works. A primary driver of being successful in a changing world is to pay attention to where the world is going. The quest to stay relevant and figuring out what will happen is not often that hard. A review of common culture over the past decades presents various projections of the “what if we could” views of the technology space was pretty clear. In movies like 2001 Space Odyssey made in 1968, there were iPad type devices and flying spaceplanes that resemble the cutting edge of Virgin Galactica. (Kubrick, 1968) There was a good deal of accuracy about the “what” but the "when" was wrong.

#12 Pride, Pockets, and Paralysis Mahesh Joshi and JR Klein are Co-Authors of the Global Business Book Series including Global Business (2018), Global Business in the Age of Transportation (2021) and several more books in the works. Another reason that big companies find it hard to change is that culturally their experience is more apt to fall into the analysis paralysis check. The ability to identify the perfect strategy or decision or profit model can be paralyzing. The protracted search for the best usually facilitates missing the good. These are agonizing choices that need to be made. Most times, however, decisions error on the side of caution and the chance to change is lost.

#11 Company DNA Mahesh Joshi and JR Klein are Co-Authors of the Global Business Book Series including Global Business (2018), Global Business in the Age of Transportation (2021) and several more books in the works. The golden handcuff was only a part of the change barrier story with the next part being of equal importance. When companies think about making major market and organizational shifts they need to know what the businesses DNA looks like. What does corporate culture look like and what skills, capacities, and people make up the company's competencies? What are the strengths and weaknesses?

#10 The Golden Handcuffs Mahesh Joshi and JR Klein are Co-Authors of the Global Business Book Series including Global Business (2018), Global Business in the Age of Transportation (2021) and several more books in the works. Wall Street and market capital also have something to do with change and its acceptance barriers as well. When Kodak was still king of the still pictures they were incredibly profitable and came in number one and number two in global brand tracking studies. Kodak owned pictures. There is an assumption that they did not see the fact that photography was changing and picture film would no longer be necessary. The obvious assumption is that they did not see the train coming down the track.

#9 So What Happened? Mahesh Joshi and JR Klein are Co-Authors of the Global Business Book Series including Global Business (2018), Global Business in the Age of Transportation (2021) and several more books in the works. The first thing is related to why it is so hard for some to get out of bed in the morning or keep the old chair in the living room. People like what they know and do what is comfortable. The second change blindness is complacency. The approach of many companies is like driving an automobile with automatic rather than a manual transmission. Many companies today have a cruise control attitude which says everything is good and let's keep on doing what has worked. The autopilot seems to be working. The combination of comfortable and cruise control puts most companies in a deep rut when it comes time for a necessary change.

#8 Change Changes Changing Mahesh Joshi and JR Klein are Co-Authors of the Global Business Book Series including Global Business (2018), Global Business in the Age of Transportation (2021) and several more books in the works. The discussions of the quantum speed of change in lifestyle, business, and environment are widespread. New technological innovations and business models are threatening existing legacy business players. These businesses were strong and there was little thought that anything could challenge them. However, as with most change those who do not pay attention pay the price. If vigilance is not a common trait and no one is watching where the disruption is coming from the ramifications are inevitable.

#7 Big Leadership Challenge Mahesh Joshi and JR Klein are Co-Authors of the Global Business Book Series including Global Business (2018), Global Business in the Age of Transportation (2021) and several more books in the works. With cognitive rebooted leadership how can the system be repaired? It is the leadership “character” shift that has brought about a declining lifestyle, public unrest, frustration driven violence, and climate change. This shift has triggered a fundamental breakdown of trust. What has happened in the world of politics, the world of media, and the world of corporate institutions is that corporate leadership action has eroded trust. Leadership has lost its direction and eliminated the society from its performance equation. As a result members of the society don't trust the institutions. They don't trust the agendas of the institutions and they don't trust the leaders.

#6 Character Drives Purpose Mahesh Joshi and JR Klein are Co-Authors of the Global Business Book Series including Global Business (2018), Global Business in the Age of Transportation (2021) and several more books in the works. Three primary baseline characteristics are the foundation blocks of an effective leader. The first characteristic is creativity and inclusivity. Effective leaders continually are looking at ways of getting things done. They are constantly inquisitive. They are by nature flexible and are always looking to learn things, unlearn things, and to relearn things. There is a basic flexibility in their character that allows them to move forward in any framework. They tend to think more about "What if?" rather than the "No way”, the “How to?" rather than "Better not”. They understand that none of us is better than any of us and none of us is as smart as all of us. They understand the value of thinking together and tend to build inclusive cultures. They set clear and realistic expectations and encourage independent thinking. They importantly allow people to fail and use failure as a learning tool.

#4 Leadership Facing Change Mahesh Joshi and JR Klein are Co-Authors of the Global Business Book Series including Global Business (2018), Global Business in the Age of Transportation (2021) and several more books in the works. The entire world continues to struggle with global crisis. The COVID pandemic was the epitome of an unplanned event. It came at us quickly with little warning. Though devastating it was emblematic of the challenge in leadership. This is a time when leaders must be open to ideas from different audiences and different parts of the world. There are some concepts that will shape the role and create impact for leaders in the twenty-first century.

#3 Leadership Erosion Mahesh Joshi and JR Klein are Co-Authors of the Global Business Book Series including Global Business (2018), Global Business in the Age of Transportation (2021) and several more books in the works. "The Times They Are a Changin” is the title of a Bob Dylan song released in 1964. Though nearly relegated to legacy its central message is as poignant as ever in today's world. In the current and evolving environment, we hear narratives of the wealthy becoming wealthier, inequality in access, declining lifestyle, the decline in trust, and decline in organizational power. Leaders in today's world face monumental challenges and pressures to maintain performance You can order Global Business in the Age of Transformation from Amazon at: https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asin=B09DQCQ36T&preview=newtab&linkCode=kpe&ref_=cm_sw_r_kb_dp_Y73D1FCF7SRHPJRAMK2R&tag=everythingaround-20OR wherever books are sold.

#2 Retooling the Workforce Mahesh Joshi and JR Klein are Co-Authors of the Global Business Book Series including Global Business (2018), Global Business in the Age of Transportation (2021) and several more books in the works. How can we meet this massive retooling necessity for the existing “human” workforce? Education is the key. The speed of change has too often made education a lagging indicator of demand. It has been plagued by ideologies, cultural morays, and parochial thinking that have led to myopic strategies even in the midst of an information explosion. The demographics of globalization indicate that the fastest growing segment of the population in a significant portion of the world is youth. This fact along begins to frame an alarming trend of inequity in educational access. It is estimated that 263 million children and young people are not in school with most being in underdeveloped and low to moderate - income countries. Other estimates report that 825 million young people will not have the basic literacy, numeracy, and digital skills to compete for the jobs of 2030.

#1 Disruptive creativity Mahesh Joshi and JR Klein are Co-Authors of the Global Business Book Series including Global Business (2018), Global Business in the Age of Transportation (2021) and several more books in the works. Technology has always been both the result of and the driver of change. Since the first cave dweller discovered a way of starting a fire between lightning strikes to the idea of the wheel, from the evolution of society from hunter - gatherers to a settled agricultural way of life to the creation of the written word, humans have discovered the unexplored world through the creative influence of technology. The inductive effect of new technology continues to increase its impact. The result is that the technology has begun to question its creators.
